THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the girl ho loves beoauHO he has no heroic <leeda to his credit, appeals to his editor lor a dangerous assignment ami is sent to interview Professor Challenger who has recently returned from South America with a story of the existence then? of prehistoric animals. Ho shows Malone a sketch of a stegosaurus found among the posseiteions of a dead explorer. Maple White; some photographs and a piece of the wing of a pterodactyl#}. Challenger calls for volunteers for an exi>edttion to test the truth of his assertion. , • • - Malone finds ltimself a member of a t>arty of three setting out for South America. The otlier two are Prpieeeor Summerlee. scientist, and Lord John Hoxton, well known explorer. At Manoe. 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 pnx-eed In canoes. They travel several days a through a tropical fairyland, and reach the outlying picket of the boat 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 Colver. his companion. A cave through which Maple White had reached the top of the plateau has been blocked by fallen stone. The explorer climb a detached pinnacle and for a bridge throw a tree across the abvse which separates them from the m gfpoßy CHAPTER IX—Continued Summerlee was the second. His wiry energy Is wonderful In so frail a frame. He Insisted upon having two rifles slung upon his back, so that both professors were armed when he had made his transit. 1 came next, and tried hard not to look down into the horrible gulf over which I was passing. Summerlee held out the butt-end of his rifle, and an instant later I was able to grasp his hand. As to Ijord John, he walked across—actually walked without support! He must have nerves of Iron. And there we were, the four of us, upon the dreamland, thu lost world, o* Maple White. To all of us It seemed the moment of our supreme triumph. Who could have guessed that It was the prelude to our supreme disaster? Let me say In a few words hew the crushing blow fell upon us. We had turned away from the edge, and had penetrated about fifty yards of close brushwood, when there came a frightful rending crash from behind us. With one impulse we rushed back the way we had come. The bridge was gone! Par down at the base of the cliff I saw, as I looked over, a tangled mass of branches land splintered, trunk. It was our beech tree. "Had the edge of the platform crumbled and let it through? For a moment this explanation was In all our minds. The next, from the farther

tf.S.S. will rM you of boils, pimples* blackhead i and skin eruptions! L> ON’T CLOSE your eyes to the / warning which Nature gives when angry, painful boils appear on your neck, face or other parts of your body. Boils, pimples and so-called skin disorders are the result of an impoverished condition of the blood and are not to be trifled with. It is nothing more than folly to expect to get absolute relief from the use of local treatments, such as ointments, salves, etc. Such remedies may afford temporary relief but you want more than relief; you want a remedy which will rid you forever of the torturing disorders. And the one remedy which has no equal is S.S.S. S.S.S. stops boils and keeps them from coming. S.S.S. builds bloodpower! That is what makes lighting blood. Fighting blood destroys impurities. It fights boils. It fights skin eruptions—pimples, blackheads, eczema! It always wins! S.S.S. has been known since 1826 as one of the greatest blood builders, blood cleansers and system strengtheners ever produced. There are no unproven theories about S.S.S., the scientific results of each of its purely vegetable medicinal ingredients are admitted by authorities. Begin taking S.S.S. today and clear your skin of those blood disorders! A S. S. S. is told at all good drug stores in two sizes. The larger sue is more economics!. Ks g C Br jgtJLJ.Jt ’flloodMcdlcbu;
side of the rocky pinnacle before us a swarthy face, the face of Gomez the half-breed, was slowly protruded. Yes, it was Gomez, but no longer Gomez of the demure smile and the mask-like expression. Here was a face with flashing eyes and distorted features, a face convulsed with hatred and with the mad joy of gratified revenge. “Lord Roxton!” he shouted. “Lord John Roxton!’’ “Well,’’ said our companion, “here I am.” A shriek of laughter came across the abyss. “Yes, there you are, you English dog, and there you will remain! I have waited and waited, and now has come my chance. You found It hard to get up; you will find it hard to get dowr. You cursed fools, you are trapped, every one of you!” We were too astounded to speak. We could only stand there staring In amazement. A great broken bough upon the grass showed whence he had gained his leverage to tilt over our bridge. The face had vanished, but presently It was up again, more frantic than before. "We nearly killed you with a stone at the cave,’ he cried, “but this Is better. It is slower and more terrible. Your bones will whiten up there, aifd none will know where you lie or come to cover them. As you lie dying, think of Lopez, whom you shot five years ago on the Putomayo River. I am his brother, and, come what will I will die happy now, for his memory has been avenged.” The halls-breed was descending on the farther side of the pinnacle; but before he could reach the ground Lord John had run along the edge of the plateau and gained a point from which he could see his man. There was a single crack of his rifle, and, though we saw nothing, we heard the scream and then the distant thud of the falling body. Roxton came back to us with a face of granite. “I have been a blind simpleton," said he, bitterly. “It’s my folly that has brought you all Into this trouble. I should have remembered that these people have long memories for blood-feuds, and have been more upon my guard.” “What about the other one? It took two of them to leVer that tree over the edge.” “I could have shot him, but I let him go. He may have had no part in it. Perhaps it would have been better if I had killed him, for he must, as you say, have lent a hand.” Now that we had the clew to his actions, each of us could cast back and remember some sinister act upon the part of the half-breed—-his constant desire to know our plans, his arrest outside our tent when he was overhearing them, the furtive looks of hatred which from time to time one or other of us had surprised. We were still discussing it, endeavoring to adjust our minds to these new conditions, when a singular scene In the plain below arlow arrested our attention. A man in white clothes, who could only be the surviving half-breed, was ruaMng as one does run when Death Is the pacemaker. Behind him, only a few yards in his rear, bounded the huge ebony figure of Zambo, our devoted negro. Even as we looked, he sprang upon the back of the fugitive and flung his arms round his ne# k. They rolled on the ground together. An Instant afterward Zambo lose, looked at the prostrate man, and then, waving his hand joyously to us, came, running in our direction. The white figure lay motionless in the middle of the great plain. Our two traitors had been destroyed, but the mischief that they had done lived after them. By no possible means could we get back to the pinnac’le. We had been natives of the world; now we were na‘lves of the plateau. For the moment we cou’d only it among the bushes in patience and wait the coming of Zambo. presently his honest, black face topped the rocks and his Herculean figure emerged upon the top of the pinnacle. “What I'do now?” he cried. "You tell me and I do it.” It was a question which It was easier to ask than to answer. One thing only was clear. He was our one trusty llriK with the outside world. On no account must he /leave us. “No, no!’ ’he e. ie d. “I not leave you. Whatever come, you always find me here. But no able to keep Indians. Already they say too much Curupurl live on this place, and they go home. Now you leave them, me no able to keep them.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1912, by A.

MONDAY ""THnship 1 With the Saviour Read IJc. 8:16-21. Text: 8:21. My mother and my brethren are these that hear the word of God, and do It. MEDITATION—The nearness of our relationship to Christ is measured by our willingness with ail consecration to submit to him as our Lord and Saviour. If we do this we ore admitted to spiritual fellowship with him, a relationship closer than that of blood and more intimate. A fellowship eternal and blessed forever. “It is only in the spirit that real union is born. We can dovetail many pieces of wood together and make the unity of an article of furniture, but we can not dovetail items together and make a tree. And it is the union of a tree that we require, the union born of an indwelling Ufa Many members of the same family

may bear the same name, may sit at the same table and yet have no more vital union than a handful of marbles. But let the spirit of common love dwell in all hearts and there is a family bound together in glorious union. The Spirit of God dwelling in all our spirits attunes them into glorious harmony.” PRAYER—Loving Father, wilt thou deepen the spiritual fellowship among men. Help those who grope for the light of thy fellowship. May there be true union of hearts. In the joy of a common Redeemer may we all become one. Amen. (Copyright, 1925—F. L. Fagley)
