THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper repo/ter. rejected by the g-t-1 ,he love# because he ha# no heroic deed# to his credit, appeals to his editor for a dangeruos 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. Ho shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus found among the possessions of a dead explorer. Maple White; some photographs and a piece of the wing of 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 otner two are Professor Summerlee, scientist and Lord John Roxton. well known explorer. At Manao#, Challenger unexpectedly joins the expedition. After ten days of traveling up the Amazon and one of its tributaries, they are forced to abandon the boats and proceed lit canoes. They travel several days through a tropical fairyland and reach the outlying picketst of th Lost World. A high and apparently insurmountable cliff confronts them. They follow the white arrow signs made by Maple White, and find the bones of James Colvcr. liis companion. A cave hrough which Maple White had reached the top of the plateau has been blocked by ialleti stone, so the explorers decide to attempt to climb up. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER IX —Continued. After breakfast we unpacked the bundle In which our leader had brought his climbing accessories. From it he took a coil of the strongest and lightest rope, a hundred and fifty feet in length, with climbing irons, clamps, and other devices. The first half was perfectly easy, but from there upwards it became continually steeper until, for ihe last fifty feet, we were literally clinging with our fingers and toes to tiny ledges and crevices In the rock. I could not have accomplished it, nor could Summerlee, if Challenger had not gained the summit and there fixed the rope round the trunk of the considerable tree which grew theme. With this as our support, we were soon able to scramble up the jagged wall until we found ourselves upon the small grassy platform, some twenty-five feet each way, which formed the summit. The first impression which I received when I had recovered my breath was of the extraordinary view over the country which we had traversed.

WHEN ns HURT DRINK IKE WATER The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat too much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative ticst,es clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When /your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather Is bad, begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salta. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may than act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with ltthia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidney's, to neutralize the acids In the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. .Tad Salts is inexpensive; can not Injure, makes a delightful effervescent Uthia-water drink and belongs In every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a. year.—Advertisement.

I was still drinking in this wonderful panorama wheYi the heavy hand of the profutsor fell upon my shoulder. “This way, my young friend,” said he; "vestigia nulia retrorsum. Never look rearwards, but always to our glorious goal.” The level of the plateau, when I turned, was exactly that on which we stood, and the green bank of bushes, with occasional trees, was so near that it was difficult to realize how inaccessible It remained. At a rough guess the gulf was forty feet across. Far down were the small dark figures of our servants, looking up at us. The wall was absolutely precipitous, as was that which faced me. “This is indeed curious,” said the creaking voice of Professor Summer lee. I turned, and found that he was examining /With great interest the tree to which I clung. That smooth bark and those small, ribbed leaves seemed familiar to my eyes. "Why,” I cried, “it’s a beech!” “Exactly,” said Summerlee. "A fellow-countryman in a far land.” "Not only a fellow-countryman, my good sir,” said Challenger, “but also, if I may be allowed to enlarge your simile, an ally of the first value. This beech tree will be our savior.” “By George!” erie Lord John, "a bridge!” “Exactly, my friends, a bridge! It is not for nothing that I expended an hour last night in focusing my mind upon the situation. I have some recollection of once remarking to our youug friend here that G. E. C. is at his best when his back is to the walL Last night y>u will admit that all bur backs were to the wall. But where will power and intellect go together, there is alweys a way out. A drawbridge had to be found which could be dropped across the abyss. Behold it!” It was certainly a brilliant idea. The tree was a good sixty feet in height, and if it only fell the right way it would easily cross the chasm. Challenger had swung the camp axe over his shoulder when he ascended. Now he handed it to me. “Our young friend has the thews and sinews,” said he. I set to work in earnest upon the trunk, taking turn and turn with Sir John. In a little over an hour there was a loud crack, the tree swayed forward, and then crashed over, burying Its branches among the bushes on the farther side. The severed trunk rolled to the very edge of our platform, and for one terrible second we all thought it was over. It balanced itself, however, a few Inches from the edge, and there was our iyidge to the unknown. All of us, without a word, shook hands with Professor Challenger, who raised his straw hat and bowed deeply to each in turn. “I claim the honor.” said he, "to be the first to cross to the unknown land—a fitting subject, no doubt, for some future historical painting.” He had approached the bridge when Lord John laid his hand upon his coat. “My dear chap.” said he, “I really cannot allow it.” “Cannot allow it, sir!” The head wu.'t back and the bearfl^forxvard. “When it is a matter of science, don’t you know, I follow your lead, because you are by way of bein’ a nun of science. But it’s up to you to follow me wlien you come into my department.” “Your department, sir?” “We all have our professions, and solderin’ is mine. We are, according’ to my ideas, invadin' a new country, which may or may not be chockfull of enemies of sorts. To charge blindly into if for want of a little common sense and patience isn’t my notion of management." The remonstrance was too reasonable to be disregarded. Challenger tossed his hed and shrugged his heavy shoulders. “Well, sir, what do you propose?” “For all I know there may be a tribe of cannibals waitin’ for lunch time among those very bushes,” said Lord John.

"I will go down again, therefore, and we will fetch up the four rifles, together with Gomez and the other. One man can then go across and the rest will cover him with guns, until he sees that it is safe for the whole crowd to come along.” Within an hour we had brought up the rifles and a shot-gun. The half-breeds had ascended also, and under Lord John's orders they had carried up a bale of provisions in case our first exploration should be a long one. We had edch bandoliers of cartridges. “Now, Challenger, If you really Insist upon being the first man In,” said Lord John, when every preparation was complete, "I am much indebted to you for your gracious permission,” said the angvy Professor; for never was a man so Intolerant of every form of authority. ‘‘Since you are good enough to allow it, I shall most certainly hike it upon myself to act as pioneer upon this occasion.” Seating himself with a leg overhanging the abvss on each side, and his hatchet slung upon his back, Challenger hopped his way across the trunk and was soon at the other side. He clambered up and waved his arms In the air. "At last!” he cried; “at last!” I gazed anxiously at him, with a vague expectation that some terrible fate would dart at him from the curtain of green behind him. But ai! was quiet, save that a strange, many-colored bird flew up from undJr his feet and vanished among the trees. (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1912 by A. Conan Doyle.)

Jfellotosfjip of draper Daily Lenten Bible reading and 4 meditation prepared for commission on evangelism of Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America.

SATURDAY Saving Faith Read Luke 7:36-60. Text: 7:60. Thy faith hath saved thee; go In peace. Meditation—Go in peace! How our souls long for quiet times and our feet for smooth places. But if life teaches one lesson before all others. It is that the price must first be paid —a price of toil, of searching and of discipline. In faith we must work out our own salvation, then the peace of God will enter our hearts. “Sometimes it comes by the door of memory and sometimes by the door of hope. Sometimes It is borne to us by the ministry of human speech and kindness. But always It brings us the sense of a Presence, a though we had a great friend In the room, and the troubled heart gains quietness and peace. The mist clears a little, and we have a restful assurance/ of our God.” Prayer—Our Father, we pray that the assurance of thy promises may be with us and that thy beneflclent presence may be around us. Make thyself known as the Father of the fatherless and the strong companion of all who are lonely. Give comfort Jo those who mourn and under the shadow of thy wings may we find lest. Let toy peace abide in our hearts forevermore. Amen. (Copyright, 1925—F. L. Fagley)
