THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter. rejected by tho girl he loves because he lias no heroic deeds to hi* credit, appeals to his editor (or a dangerous assignment, and ifi'' sent to Interview the ir&sclblc Professor Challenger, who has recently returned from a solitary expedition to South America with an amazingg •tory, which no one believes, of the existence on a great plateau there of many forms of prehistoric life. By way of proof he exhibits to Malone two sketches—one, of the cliffs beneath the plateau, the other of a mocr.trous 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 huge flying serpent, or pterodactyl. which ho says he shot down. Malone is convinced of the professor’s sincerity. A* a scientific lecture that night which he'invites tho reporter to attend. Challenge- creates an uproar hy denying the speak’r’s assertion that mastodon life is extinct. and challenging the audience to send out an expedition to test the truth of his own theories. There are three volunteers: Professor Summer- • lee, a scientist Malone, still in auest of adventure; and Lord John Roxton. well known sportsman and explorer. On a foggy morning in the spring the expedition sets out. Challenger, who has withheld directions until sailing time, comes to see them off. CHAPTER VI (Continued) “No, thank you,” says he; “I should much prefer not to go aboard. I have only a few words to say to you, and they can very well be said where we are. I beg you not to Imagine that I am In any way indebted to you for making this journey. I Would have you to understand that It Is a matter of perfect l indifference to me, and I refuse to entertain the most remote sense of personal obligation. Truth is truth, and nothing which can report can affect It In any way, though it may excite the emotions and allay the curiosity of a number of vory Ineffectual people. My directions for your Instruction and guidance are In this sealed envelope. You will open It when you reach a town upon the Amazon which Is called Manaos, but not until the date and hour which Is marked upon the outside. Have I made myself clear? I leave the strict observance of my conditions entirely to your honor. No, Mr. Malone, I will place no restrictions upon your correspondence, since the ventilation of the facts is the object of your Journey; hut I

demand that you shall give no particulars as to your exact destination, and that nothing be actually published until your return. Goodby, sir. You have done something to mitigate my feelings for the loathsome profession to which you unhappily belong. Goodby, Lord John. Science is, as I understand, a sealed book to you; but you may congratulate yourself upon the hunting-fLId which awaits you. You wil\ no doubt, have the opportunity of describing in the P*ield how you brought down the rocketing dimorphOdon. And goodby to you also. Professor Summerlee. If you are still capable of self-improvement, of which I am frankly unconvinced, you will surely return to London a wiser man.” So he turned upon Ms heel, and a minute later from the deck I could see his short, squat figure bobbing about in the distance as he made his \fray hack to his train. Well, we are well down Channel now. There's the last bell for letters, and it’s goodby to the pilot. We’ll be “down, hulldown, on the old trail” from now on. God bless all we leave behind us, and send us safetly back.

HIS DRY, HALF-SARCASTIC MANNER IS WHOLLY UNINFLUENCED BY ANY CHANGE IN HIS SURROUNDINGS. CHAPTER VII ‘‘Tomorrow We Disappear Into the Unknown.” I will not bore those whom this narrative may reach by an account of our luxurious voyage upon the Booth liner, nor will I tell of our week stay at Para (save that I should wish to acknowledge the great kindness of the Pedelra da Pinta Company in' helping us to get together our equipment). I will alo allude very briefly to our river journey, up a wide, slow-mov-ing, clay-tinted stream, in a steamer which was* little smaller than that which carried us across the Atlantic. Eventually we found ourselves through the narrows of Obidos and reached the town of Manaos. Here we were rescued from the limited attractions of the .local inn by Mr. Shortman, the representative of the British and Brazilian Trading Company. In his hospital Fazenda we spent our time until the day when we were empowered to open the lettr of Instructions givn to us by Professor Challenger. Before I reach the surprising events of that date I would desire to giVe a clearer sketch of by comrade in this enterprise, and of the associates whom we had already gathered together In South America. I speak freely, and I leave the use of my material to your own discretion, Mr. McArdle, since it is through your hands that this report must pass before it reaches the world.

The scientific attainments ‘ of Professor Summerlee are too well known for me to trouble to recapitulate them. He is better equipped for a rough expedition of this sort than one would imagine at first fSght. His tall, gaunt, string fig. ures la insensibly to fatigue, and often wholly unsympathetic manner is uninfluenced by any change in his surroundings. Though In his sixty-sixth year, I have never heard him express any dissatisfaction at the occasional hardships which we have had to encounter. I had regarded his presence as an incumbrance to the expedition, but, as a matter of fact, ,1 am now well convinced that his power of endurance is as great as my own. In temper he is naturally acid and skepcital. From the beginning he has never concealed his belief that Professor Challenger Is an absolute fraud, that we are all embarked upon an absurd wild-goose chase and that we are likely to reap nothing but disappointment and danger in South America, and corresponding ridicule in England. Such are the views which, with much passionate distortion of his thin features and wagging of his thin, goat-llke beard, he poured Into our ears all the way from Southampton to Manaos. Since landing from the boat he has.obtained some consolation from the beauty and variety of the insect and bird life around him, for be Is absolutely whole-hearted in his devotion to science. He spends his days flitting through the woods with his shotgun and butterfly net, and his ev% ning In mounting the many specimens he has acquired. Among his minor peculiarities are that he is careless as to his attire, unclean in his person, exceedingly absentminded in his habits, and addicted to smoking a short briar pipe, which js seldom out of his mouth. He has been upon several scientific expeditions in his youth (he was with Robertson in Paßua), and the life of the camp and the canoe is nothing fres hto him.

Lord John Roxton has some points in common with Professor Sumrnerlee, and jothers in Vhich they are the very antithethis tq each other. He is twenty years younger, but has something of the same spare, scraggy- physique.\ As to his appearance. T have, as i recollect described it in that portion of my narnative which T have left behind me in London. He is exceedingly neat and prim in his wajte, dresses always with great care tin white drill suits and high brown mosquitoboots, and shaves at least once a day. Ufc* most men of action, he is laconic in speech, and sinks read-

ily into his own thoughts, but he is always quick to answer a question or join in a conversation, talking in a queer, jerky, half-humorous fashion. His knowledge of the world, and very especially of South America, is surprising, and he has a whole-hearted belief in ttfe possibilities of our journey which is not to be dashed by the sneers of Professor Summerlee. He has a gentle voice’ and a quiet manner, but behind his twinkling blue eyes there lurks a capacity for furious wrath and implacable resolution, the more dangerous because they arc held in leash. He spoke little of nls own exploits in Brazil and Peril, but It was a revelation to me to find the excitement which w.-.a 'caused by his presence among the riverine native, who looked upon his as their champion and protector. The exploits of the Red Chief, as they called him, had become legends among them, but the real facts, as far as I could learn them, were amazing enough. Copyright, 1912, by A. Conan Doyle.

TUESDAY The First Disciples Read Lk. 5:1-11. Text: 6:11. They left all, and followed him. MEDITATION—What are we called upon to leave to fie+low Christ? Only those things which work against our own soul's welfare, the sins of the world, the selfishness of our lower nature, our fears, our sloth. Christ calls every one to leave his burdens of sin and come into the larger, freer life of Christian experience. God has set a lamp to guide the feet of his disciples, it is the lamp of Faith. We cannot know where God will lead. The faithful disciple is glad* to know “one step” and will not ask to see “the distant scene.” “And that is faith, to do God’s will here and now, quietly leaving the results to him. Faith is not concerned with the entire chain; its devoted attention is fixed upon the immediate Link. Faith leaves something to the Lord; it obeys his immediate commandment and leaves to him direction and destiny.” PRAYER—Give us, O God, faith to follow in the way Christ has led. Help us to lay aside all that hinders our free Christian Tvlng. May we rejoice as children of the morning, with bright laces and joyful hearts. Amen. (Copyright, 1925—F. LFagley) 26.
