THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone. a London newnpaper reporter. rejected by the grirl he lores because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview Professor Challenger, who has recently returned from South America with a story of the existence there of prehistoric animals. He shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus f ound among the possessions of a deac' explorer. Maple White; some photoji-aphs; and a piece of the wing ot a pterodactyl. Challenger calls for volunteers for an expedition to test the truth of his assertion. Malone finds himself a member of a party of three setting out for South America. The other two are Professor Summerlee, scientist, and Lord John Roxton. well known explorer. at Manaoe. Challenger unexpectedly jo’ns the expedition. After ten days of traveling up the Amaxon and on i of its tributaries they are forced to abandon the boats and take to canoes. They come into a tropical fairyland. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER Vlll—Continued For three days we made our way up this tunnel of hazy green sunshine. v "No Indian here. Too much afraid. Curupuri,” said Gomez. "Curupuri Is the spirit of the woods,” Lord John explained. "It's a name for any kind of devil. The ooor beggars think that there is something fearsome in this direction, and therefore they avoid It.” On the third daV It became evident that our journey in the canoes could not last much longer, for the stream was rapidly growing more shallow. Finally, we pulled the’Yioats up among the brushwood and spent the night on the bank of the river. In the morning Lord John and I made our way for a couple of miles through the forest, keeping parallel with the stream; but aa it grew ever shallower we returned and reported, vyhat. Professor Challenger had already sußpetced, that we had reached the highest point to which the canoes could be brought. We drew them up, therefore, and concealed them among the bushes, blazing a tree wth our ajees, so that we should find them again. Then we distributed the various burdens amdhg us —guns, ammunition, food, a tent, blankets, and the rest —and, shouldering our packages, we set forth upon the more laborious stage of our journey. An unfortunate quarrel between our pepperpots marked the outset of our new stage. Challenger had from the moment of joining us Issued directions to the whole party, much to the evident discontent of Summerlee. Now, upon his assigning some duty of his fellowProfessor (it was only the carrying of an aneroid barometer), the COLDSTHAf DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA ( Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious trouble.

matter suddenly came to a head. “May I ask, sir,” said Summerlee, with vicious calm, “in what capacity you take it upon yourself to issue these orders?” Challenger glared and bristled. “I do it. Professor Summerlee, as leader of this expedition.” "I am compelled to toll you, sir, that I do not recognize you in that capacity.” “Indeed!” Challenger bowed with unwieldy sarcasm. "Perhaps you would define my exact position.” "Yes. sik You are a man whose veracity is upon trial, and this committee is here to try it. You walk, sir, with your Judges.” “Dear me!” said Challenger, abating himself on the side of one of the canoes. “In that case you will, of course, go on your way, and I will follow at my leisure. If I am not the leader you cannot expect me to lead.” Thank heaven that there were two sane men—Lord John Roxton and myself—to prevent the petulance and folly of our learned Pro, ' fessors from sending us back empty-handed to London. Such arguing and pleading and explaining before we could get them mollified! Then at last Summerlee, with his sneer and his pipe, would move forwards, and Challenger would come rolling and grumbling after. By some good fortune we discovered about this time that both our Servants had* the very poorest opinion of Dr. Illingworth of Edinburgh. Thence forward that was our one safety, and every strained situation wan relieved by our introducing the name of the Scotch zoologist, when both our Profeusot* w'ould form a temporary alliance and friendship in their detestation and abuse of this common rival. Advancing in single file along the bank of the stream, we soon found that it narrowed down to a mere brook, and finally that it lost itself in a great green morass of spongelike mosses, into which we aank up to our knees. The place was horribly haunted by clouds of mosquitoes. On the second day after leaving our canoes we found that the whole character of the country changed. Our road was persistently upward, and as we ascended the woods became thinner and lost their tropical luxuriance. We traveled entirely by compass, and once or twice there were differences of opinion between Challenger and the two Indians, when, to quote the professor’s indigi ant words, the whole party agreed lo “trust the fallacious instincts of undeveloped savages rather than the highest product of modern European culture.” That we were justified in doing so was shown upon the third da:, when Challenger admitted that he recognized several landmarks of his former journey. Ihe road still ascended and we crossed a rock-studded slope which took two days to traverse. Occasional brooks with pebbly bottoms and fern-draped banks gurgled down the shallow gorges in the hill, and offered good'camping grounds every evening on the banks of some rock-studded pool, where swarms of little blue-backed fish about the size and shape of English trout gave us a delicious supper. On the ninth day after leaving the canoes, having done, as T reckon. about a hundred and twenty miles, we began to emerge from the trees which had grown smaller until they were mere shrubs. Their place was taken by an immense wilderness of bamboo, which grew so thickly that we chuld only penetrate it hj cutting a pathway with th<* ma chetes and billhooks of the Indians. Just as night fell we cleared the belt of bambooes and at once formed our camp, exhausted by the interminable day.
Early next morning we were again afoot, and found that the character of the country had changed once again. Behind us was the wall of bamboo, as definite as If It marked the course of a river. In front was an open plain, sloping slightly upward and dotted with clumps of treeferns, the whole curving before us until It ended in a long, whalebacked ridge. This .we reached ebout midday, only to find a shallow i alley beyond, rising once again into a gentle incline which led to ’a low, rounded sky-line. It was here, while we crossed the first of these hills, that an incident occurred which may or may not have been important. - . Professor Challenger, who with the two local Indians, was In the van of the party, stopped suddenly and pointed excitedly to the right. As he did so we saw. at the distance of a mile or so, something which appeared to be a huge gray bird flap slowly up from the ground and skim smoothly, off, flying very low and straight, until It was lost among the tree-ferns. "Did you see It?” cried Challenger in exultation. "Summerlee, did you see it?” "What do you claim that it was?” he asked. "To the best of my belief, a peterodactyl.” Summerlee burst into derisive laughter. "A peter-flddlesticks!” said he. “It was a stork. If ever I saw one.” Challenger was too furious to speak. Lord John -Ime abreast of me, however, and his face was more grave than was his wont. He had his Zeiss glasses in his hand. “I focused It before it got over the trees,” said he. "I won’t undertake to say what it was, but I’ll risk my reputation as a sportsman that It wasn’t any bird that ever 1 clapped eyes on in my life.” So there the matter stands. Are we really just at the edge of the unknown, encountering the outlying pickets of this lost world of which our leader speaks? Copyright. 1012, by A. Conan Doyle.

Read Lk. 6:39-49. Text): 6:45. For out of/ the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. ' MEDITATION—In the mind of Christ life Is very much like a stream flowing from a hidden spring. The spring Is the soul. The stream consists In the words and deeds of dally living. That which determines the quality of life is the nature of the soul. This is God given and God renewed whenever the human heart Is open to divine influences. Every man must take care that the springs of his life are pure and that no selfish interests divert or defile the streams of influence that flow into the life of the world. “It Is only thq true disciple, whose inmost being has been touched by the Spirit, that can hope for success in this high kind of life. The hu mar. heart can maintain unfailing good will only when it Is in vital connection with the great central Heart which pulses out good will eternally.” PRAYER—Eternal Father, create within us clpan hearts. Search out the dark places and Illumine them with thy gracious Spirit. May the life of Christ draw us with its alluring power that we may know the healing of his pre;<mce. Amen. (Copyright, 1925—F.
