THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SVNOIfUS Malone, a London newspaper repo r tor, rejected by the girl he loves because lie has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for dangerous assignment, and is sent to intervtew Protessor Challenger, who has recently returned from South America with a story, which no one believes, of the existence there of prehistoric animals, tly way of proof he shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus. which lie had found among the possession of a dead explorer. Maple White: some photographs: and a piece of the wing of a pterodactylAt a scientific lecture that night Challenger calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of Ms assertion. • * * Thus one foggy morning young Malone findshianseH* member of a party of three setting out for South America. The other two are Professor Summer!ee, scientist. and Lord John Roxton, well known explorer. At Manaos, Challenger unexpectedly joins tho expedition After ten days of WavelinguP the Amazon and one of its trlbutart. * they are forced to abandon the boats and take to canoes. At this point they say good-by to civilization and disappear Into the unknown. CHAPTER VIII “The Outlying Pickets of the New World” Our friends at home may well rejoice with us, for we are at our goal, and up to a point, at least, we have shown that the statement of Professor Challenger can be verified. Wt have not, It is true, ascended the plateau, but It lies before us, and even Professor Su merlee Is in a more chastened mood. Not that he •will for an Instant admit that his rival could be righ'., but he is leis persistent in his incessant objections, and has su fk for the most part into an observant silence. I must harlt back, however, and continue my narrative from where 'i dropped it. We f.re sending home one of our local Indians who was injured, and I am committing this letter to his charge, with considerable doubts in my mind as to whether it will ever come to hand. When I wrote last we were about to leave the Indian village where we had been deposited by the Esmeralda. I have to begin my report hy bad news for the (lrst serious personal trouble (I pass over the incessant bickerings between the professors) occurred this evening, and might have had a tragic ending. I have spoken of our Englishspeaking halfbreed, Gomez —a fine worker and a willing fellow, but afflicted., I fancy, with the vice of curiosity, which is common enough among such men. OA the last evening he seems toi have hid himself near the hut In whHh we were discussing cur plans, and being observed , bj' our huge negro Zambo, who is as faithful as a dog and has the hatred which all his race bears t othe halfbreeds, he was dragged out and carried into our presence. Gomes whipped out his knife, however, and but for the huge strength of his captor, which enabled him to disarm him with one hand, he would certainly have slabbed him.

Chronic coughs snd persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulslon, an emulslBed creosote that Is pleasant to take. Creomulslon is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the Inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote Is recognised by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colda end other forms of throat troubles Creomulslon contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elejpritts which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbsd into ths blood, attacks the seat of ths trouble snd dsstroys the germs that lead to serious complications. ' Creomulslon ia guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs snd colds, catarrhal bronchitis and sther forms of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu.

matter has ended in reprimands, the opponents have been compelled to shake hands, and there is every hojie that all will be well. As to the feuds of the two learned men, the are continuous and bitter. It must be admitted that Challenger is provocative in the last degree, but Summerlee has an acid tongue, which makes matte;* worse. Last night Challenger said that he never cared to walk on the Thames Embankment and look up the river, as it was always sad to see one’s eventual goal. He Is convinced, of course, that he is destined for Westminster Abbey. Summerlee rejoined, however, with a sour-smile, by saying tljat he understood that Milkbank Prison had been pulled down. Challenger’s conceit Is too colossal to allow him to be really annoyed. He only smiled In his beard and repeated, “Really! really!" in the pitying tone one wor’d use to a.child.

Brain, character, soul —only as one sees more of life does one understand how distinct is each. The very next day we did actually make our start upon this remarkable < ,-pedition. We found that all our possessions fitted very easily Into the two canoes, and we divided our personnel, six In each, taking the obvious precaudon in the interests of peace of putting one professor into each canoe. Personally, I was with Challenger, who was in a beatific humor, moving about as one in a silent ectesy and beaming benevolence Iron every feature. I have had some experience of him In other moods, however, and shall be the less surprised when the thunderstorms suddenly come up amidst the sunshine. It is impossible to be at your ease, it is equally impossible to be dull in his company, for one is always in a state of half-tremulous doubt as to what sudden turn his formidable temper may take. For two days we made our way up a good-sized river, some hundreds of yards broad, and dark In color, but transparent, so that one could usually see the bottom. The affuents of the Amazon are, half of them, of this nature, while the other half are whitish and opaque, the difference depending upon the class of country through which they have flowed. The dark indicate vegetable decay, while the others point to clayey soil. Twice we came upon rapids, and in each ease made a portage of half a mile or so to avoid them. The woods on either side were primeval, which are more easily penetrated than wods of the second growth, and we had no great difficulty in carrying our canoes through them. How shall I ever forget the solemn mystery of it? The height of the trees and the thickness of the holes exceedod anything which I in my town-bred life ooul<s have Imagined, shooting upwards in magnificent columns until, at an enormous distance above our heads, we could djpily discern the spot where they threw out their side branches Into Gothic upward curves which coalesced to form one great matted roof of verdure, through whl?h only an occasional golden my of sunshine shot downwards to trace a thin dazzling line of light admldst the majestio obscurity. As we walked noiselessly amid the thick, soft carpet of decaying vegetation the hush fell upon our souls which comes upon us in the twilight of the Abby. and even Professor Challengers full-chested notes sank to a whisper. Alone. I should have been Ignorant of the names of these giant growths, but our men of scienoe pointed out the cedars, the great silk cotton trees, and the redwood trees, with all that profusion of various plants which has made tWs continent the chief supplier to the human race of those gifts of nature which depend upon the vegetable world, while It is the most backward in those products which come from animal life. Vivid orchids and wonderful colored lichens smoldered upon the swarthy tree-trunks and where a wandering shaft of light fell upon the golden allsunanda. the scarlet star-clusters of the tacsonia, or the rich deep blue of imopaea, the effect was as a dream of fairyland. In these great wastes of forest, life, which abhors darkness, i struggles ever upward t othe light. Every plant, even the smaller ones, curls and writhes to the green surface, twining Itself round its stronger and taller brethren in the effort. Climbing are monstrous and luxuriant, but others which have never beer, known to climb elsewhere learn the art as an escape from that somber shadow, so that the common nettle, the Jasmine, and even the Jadtara palm tree can be seen circling the stems of the cedars and striving to reach their crowns. Os animal life there was no movement amid the majestic vaulted alleles which stretched from us as we walked, but a constant movement far above our Jjeads told of that multitudinous World of snake and monkey, bird and sloth, which lived in the sunshine, and looked down in wonder at our tiny, dark, stumbling figures in the obscure depths immeasurably below them. At dawn, and at sunset the howler monkeys screamed together and the parrakeets broke into shrill chatter, but during the hot houro

Read Luke 6:1-11. Text: 6-5. The son of man is lord of the Sabbath. MEDITATION—Jesus taught that the Sabbath' is for the highest good of men. It is lawful for men tq satisfy hunger, it Is lawful to heal the sick and to do good. The Sabbath Is a day for worship, rest and refreshment Jesus freed the day of the petty laws which were the delight of tha Pharisees. The true disciple should do nothing for his own material gain, but should consider well his spiritual necessities and give part of the day to public worship and private meditation that bis soul may be refreshed. “Men and women out of the thick of life come to ‘he church on the Lord’s Day tired and discouraged and get something that sends them back to thair work with anew courage and resolution, for the church is the power-house of civilization.” PRAYER—Our Father, we would 1 have the mind of Christ toward the Sabbath. May our fellowship with Thee be very real. Teach us the secret of fruitful worship. Let the inspiration and peace of the Sabbath Day enter our souls and abide with us through the busy days of the week. Amen. (Copyright, 1926—F. L.
