PrXOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

BVNOPBIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the girl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview the irascible Professor Challenrer .a scientist, who has recently returned froVi an expedition to South America with an amazing story, which no one believes, of the existence t lere on a great plateau of many forms of prehistoric life. By way of p/oof he exhibits to Malone two sketches—one showing the cliffs beneath the plateau, tho ofher a monstrous animal resembling the stegosaurus—which he had found among the possessions of a dead explorer. Maple White: some blurred photographs. and a piece of the wing of a nuge flying serpent, or pterdactyl. which he had shot down. Malone Is convinced of the professor’s sincerity. At a lecture that night by one of his opponents, a Mr. Waldron. Challenger creates an uproar by constantly interrupting the lecturer, denying hir assertion that mastodon life is ex - tlnct, and challenging the audience to •end out an expedition to test the truth of his statement. Professor Summer!ee enters the dispute. CHAPTER V (Continued) Mr.Summerleo declared, with an acid smile, that he fully appreciated the difference between the Thames and the Amazon, which lay in the fact that any assertion about the former could be tested, while about the latter it could not. He would be obliged if Professor Challenger would give the latitude and the longitude of the country in which prehistoric animals were to be found. Professor Challenger replied that he reserved ‘such Information for good reasons of his own, but would be prepared to give it with proper precautions to a committee chosen from the audience. Would Mr. Summerle© serve on such a committee and test his story in person? Mr. Summerlee: "Yes, I will.” (Great cheering.) Professor Challenger: "Then I guarantee that I will place in your hands such material as will enable "I WILL GO, MR. CHAIRMAN,” I KEPT REPEATING. you to find your way. It is only right,however, since Mr. Summerlee goes to check my statement that I should have one or more with him who may check his. I will not disguise from you that there are dilficulties and dangers. Mr. Summerlee will need a younger colleague. May I ask for volunteers?” It is thus that the great crisis of a man’s life springs out at him. Could I have .‘magined when I entered that hall that I was about to pledge myself to a wilder adventure than had ever come to me in my dregrris? But Gladys—was it not the very opportunity of which she spoke? Gladys would have told me I had sprung to my feet. I was speaking, and yet I had prepared no words. Tarp Henry, my companion, was plucking at my skirts and I heard him whispering, "Sit down, Malone! Don’t make a public ass of yourself.” At the same time I was aware that a tall, thin man, with dark gingery hair, a few seats in front of me, was also upon his feet. He glared hack at me with hard angry eyes, but I refused to give way. “I will go, Mr. Chairman,” I kept repeating over and over again. "Name! Name!” cried the audience. ,

“My name is Edward Dunn Malone. lam the reporter of the Dally Gazette. I claim to be an absolutely unprejudiced witness.’ "What is your name, sir?” the chairman asked of my tall rival. "I am Lord John Roxton. I h'M already been up the Amazon, I 1 >o / all the ground and have special qualifications for this investigation.” "Lord John Roxton’s reputation as a sportsman and a traveler Is, of course, world-famous,” said the chairman: “at the same ltme It would certainly be as well to have a member of the press upon such an expedition. “Then I move,” said Professor Challenger, “that both these gentlemen be elected, as representatives of this meeting, to accompany Prof. Summerlee upon his journey to investigate and to report upon the truth of my statements.” # And so, amid shouting and cheering, our fate was decided, and I found myself borne away in the human current which swirled toward the door, with my mind half stunned by the vast new project which had risen so suddenly before it. As I emerged from the h ill I was conscious for a moment of a rush of laughing students down the pavement, and of an arm wielding a heavy umbrella which rose and fell In the midst of them. Then, amid a mixture of groans and cheers. Prof. Challenger's electric brougham slid from the curb, and I found myself walking ur/der the silvery lights of Regent 8t„ full of thoughts c i Gladys and of wonder as to my futuro. Suddenly there was a touch at my elbow. I turned and found myself looking into the humorous, masterful eyes of the tall, thin man who had volunteered to be my companion on this strange quest. "Mr. Malone, I understand,” said he. "We are 10 be companions—what? My rooms are just over the road, in the Albany. Perhaps you would have the kindness to spare me half an hour, for there are one or two things that I badly want to say to you.” . CHAPTER VI "I Was the Flail of the Lord” Lord John Roxton and I turned down Vigo Street together and through the dingy portals of the famous artistocratlc rookery. At the end of a long drab passage my new acquaintance pushed open a door and turned on an electric switch. A number of lamps shining through tinted shades bathed the whole great room before us in a ruddy radiance. Stp.nding in the doorway and glancing round me. I had a general impression of ext revordinary comfort and elegance combined with an atmosphere of masculine virility. Everywhere there were mingled the luxury 'of the wealthy man of taste and the careless untidiness of the bachelor. Rich furs and strange iridescent mats from some Oriental bazaar were scattered upon the floor. Pictures and prints which even my unpracticed eyes could recognize as being of gTcat price and rarity hung thick upon the walls. Sketches of boxers, of ballet-girls, and of race horses alternated with a sensuous Fragonard, a martial Glrardet, and a dreamy Turner. But amid these varied ornaments there were scattered the trophies which brought back otronpiy to my recollection the fact that Lord John Roxton was one of the great all around sportsmen and athletes of his day. A darkblue oar crossed with a cherry-pink one above his mantel piece spoke of

the old Oxonian and Leander man, while the folia and boxing gloves above and below them were the tools of a man who had won supremacy with each. Like a dado round She room was the jutting line of splendid heavy game-heads, the best of their sort from every quarter of the world, with the rare white rhinoceros of the Enclave drooping its supercilious lip above them all. In the center of the rich red carpet was a black and gold Louis Quinze table, a lovely antique, now sacrilegiously desecrated with m. rks of glasses and the scars of cijarstumps. On it stood a silver tray of smokables and a burjiished spiritstand, from which and an adjacent siphon my silent host proceeded to charge two high glasses. Having indicated an arm-chair to me and placed my refreshment near it, he handed me a long, smooth Havana. Then, seating himself opposite me, he looked at me long and fixedly with his strange, twinkling, reckless eyes—eyes of a cold light blue, the color of a glacier lake. Through the thin haze of my cigar smoke I noted the details of a face which was already familiar to me from many photographs—the strongly curved nose, the hollow, worn cheeks, thfe dark, ruddy hair, thin at the top, the crisp, virile mustaches, the small, aggressive tuft (ipon his projecting chin. Something there of Don (Vhixote, and yet again something which was the essence of the English country gen tleman, the keen, alert, open-air lover of dogs and horses. His skin was of a rich, flower pot red from nun and wind. His eyebrows were tufted and overhanging, which gave 'hose naturally cold eyes an almost ferocious aspect, an impression which was increased by his strong and furrowed brow. Ir figure he was spare, but very strongly built —-indeed, he had often proved that there were few men in England capable of such sustained exertions. His height was a little over six feet, but he seemed shorter on account of a peculiar rounding of the shoulders. Such was the famous Lord John Ruxton as he sat opposite to me, biting hard upon 1 Is cigar and watching me steadily in a long and embarrassing silence. Copyright, 1912 by A. Conan Doyle.

FRIDAY The Fruits of Repentance Read Luke 3:7-14. Text: 3:8. Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance. MEDITATION—True repentance Is not a form or ceremony. It ts a plain and practical command to each one of us. It involves a turning from sin and the beginning of a life of love and service to one’s fellow men; helping the needy, comforting the sorrowful, inspiring the discouraged, bringing others to Christ. These are some of the fruits of repentance. Repentance like a tree is known by Its fruits. “When you say, ‘Lead us not into temptation,’ you must In good earnest mean to avoid In your daily conduct those temptations which you have already suffered from. When you say, ‘Deliver us from evil,’ you must mean to struggle against that evil in your hearts of which you are conscious and for which you pray to be forgiven. To watch and to pray are surely In our power, and by these means we are sure of getting strength.’* PRAYER—God of all strength, look with thy great companion upon our failures. Bring good out of evil. May the darkness of sin and mists of error be dispelled by thy dwelling spirit. Let it be day time in our lives. Amen. (Copyright, lflgfl. T. L. Faslry >
