had lost their ruddy tint, being chac-olate-brown in color; the vegetation was more scattered along the top of them, and they had sunk to three or four hundred feet in height, but in no place did wej flr.d any point where they could be ascended. If anything, they nsre most impossible than at the first point where we had met them. Their absolute steepness is indicated in the photograph which I took over the stony desert. "Surely,” said I, as we discussed the situation, "the rain must find its way down somehow. There are bound to be water channels in the rocks.’’ “Our young friend has glimpses of lucidity,” said Professor Challenger,' patting me upon the shoulder. "The rain must go somewhere,” I repeated. "He keeps a firm grip upon actuality. The only drawback is that we have conclusively proved by ocular * demonstration that there are no water channels down the rocks.” "Where, then, does it go?” I persisted. "I think it may be fairly assumed that If it does not come outward, it must run inward.” "Then there is a lake in the center.” "So I should suppose.” “It is more than likely that the lake may be an old crater,” said Summerlee. “The whole formation is, of course, highly volcanic. But, however that may be, I should expect to find the suiface of the plateau slope inwards with a considerable sheet of water in the center, which may drain off, by some subterranean channel, into the marshes "Or evaporation might preserve an equilibrium,” remarked Challenger. On the sixth day we completed our first circuit of the cliffs, and found ourselves back at the first camp, beside the 'isolated pinnacle of rock. We were a disconsolate party, for it was absolutely certain that there was no single point where the most active human being could scale the cliff. The place which Maple White's chalk-marks had indicated as his own means of access was now entirely impassable. What are we to do now? In a couple of months the rains might be expected, and we should be washed out of our camp. Th- rock wns harder than marble, and any attempt at cutting a path for so great a height was more than our time or resources would admit. No wonder that we looked gloomily at each other that night, and sought ciir b’ankets with hardly a word exchanged. Challenger faced us as we assembled for breakfast with a deprecating false modesty in his eyefiT “Gentleman, you may /congratulate me, and we may congratulate each otner. The problem is solved.” "You have found a way up?” "I venture to think so.” "And where?” For answer he pointed to the spire-like pinnacle upon our right. Our facesfi-or mine, at least—fell as we surveyed it. That it could be climbed we had our companion's assurance. But a horrible abyss lay between it and the plateau. "We can never get across,” I gasped. "We can at least aJI reach the summit,” said he. "When we are up I may be able to show you that the resources of an inventive mind are not yet exhausted.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1912, by A. Conan Doyle)

FRIDAY •lohn the Baptist Read Lk. 7:24-35. Text: 7:28. Among them that are born of women there Is none greater than John. MEDITATION—John the Baptist had two great characteristics which fitted him to be the forerunner of Christ. He was as a "rock which no man could move," and "he endured all hardships and was oblivious to all human delights. Courage and consecration —these constitute prime factors in moral greatness." Every true Christian is called to be a forerunner of Christ; to make straight and plain Christ's way into the hearts of others; to stand for him without fear and with all devotion. "No greater dignity hai ever been conferred upon a human soul; no higher privilege can now be enjoyed than that of turning the thoughts and hearts of men to Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world." Knowing as we do the need of the world for Christ and his power to save men, how great Is our responsl-
