THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS* Malone, a London newsraper re porter, rejected by the girl he loves* because he has no heroic deeds to hi* credit, appeals to Ijs editor for a deugerouH assignment and Is .'tent to interview Professor Challenger, who has recently returned irom South America with a story of the existence there of prehistoric animals. He shows Malone a sketch of a stego •aurus found among the possessions of a dead explorer. Maple White; some photographs and a piece of the wing of a pterodactyl. Challenger calls lor volunteer* for an expedition to test the truth of his assertion. . . .' Malone finds himself a member of a pjarty of three setting out for South America. The other two are Professor Summer lee. scientist, and Lord John Roxton, well known explorer. At Manor). Challenger unexpectedly Joins the expedition. They reach the outlying pickets of the lost world and are confronted by a high cliff. The explorers climb a detached pinnacle and for a bridge thro wt tree across the ab,vsa which sepaartes them from the main plateau. After they are over a traitor pushes their bridge down. Their faithful 7, am bo, has remained on the other side. They exp'oro the territory and come upon a group of dmosauria. Unintentionally they disturb a flock of ptorodactyle r and are Sorted to flee for safety.

CHAPTER X—Continued The moment we attempted to retreat the circle closed In upon us, until the tips of the wings of those nearest to us nearly touched our faces. We beat at them with the stocks of our guns, but, there was nothing solid or vulnerable to strike. Then suddenly out of the whiz/ing, slate-colo-ed circle a long neck bhot out, and a fierce beak made a thrust at us. Another and another followed. Summerlee gave a cry and put his hand to his face, from which the blood was streaming. I felt a prod at the back of my neck, and turned dizzy with the shock. Challenger fell, and as I stooped to pigk him up I was again struck from behind and dropped on the top of him. A f the same instant I heard the eras, of Lord John’s elephantgun, and, looking up, saw one of the creatures with a broken wing Struggling upon the ground, spitUrg and gurgling at us with a wideopened beak and blood-shot, goggled eyes, like some devil in a- medieval picture. Its comrades had flown higher at the sudden sound, and Were circling above our heads. "Now.” cried Lord John "now for our lives!” We staggered through the brushwood, and even as we reached the trees the harpies were on us again. Summerlee was knocked down, but we tore him up and rushed among the trunks. Once there we were safe, for those huge wings had no space for their sweep beneath the branches. As we limped homewards, sadly mauled and discomfited, we saw them for a long time flying at a .Treat height against the deep blue sky above our heads, soaring round and round, no bigger than wood-pigeons, with their eyes no doubt still following our progress. At last, however, as we reached the thicker woods they gave up the SOUR STOMACH IS CAUSED BY. AGIOS Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of Jad Salts occasionally to help keep down uric and toxic acids. Rheumatism Is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It Is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this poison, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joint* and' muscles, causing stiffness, soreness and pain, called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism (ret from any piytrmacy about four ounces of Jad Plaits; put a tablespoonful iJi a glass of water and drink before breakrast morning for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acld’ty, remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic prisons. N Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. —Advertisement,

chase, and we saw them no more. "A most interesting and convincing experience,’’ said Challenger, as we halted beside the brook and he bathed a swollen knse. "We are exceptionally well informed as to the habite of the enraged pterodactyl.” Summerlee was wiping the blood from a cut in his forehead, / while F was tying up a nasty stab in the muscle of the neck. Lord John had the si oulder of his coat torn away, but the creature's teeth -had only grazed the flesh. "it is worth noting,” Challenger continued, "that our young friend has received an undoubted stab, while Lord John's coat could only have been torn by a bite. In my own case, I was beaten about the head by their win.g, so we have had a remarkable exhibition of their various methods of offence.” "It has been touch and go for our lives,” said Lord John, gravely, “and I could not think of a more rotten sort of death -than to be outed by such filthy vermin. T was sorry to fire my rifle, but, by Jove! there was hb great choice." "We should not be here if you hadn't,” said 1, with convictions. “It may do no harm,” said he. "Among these woods there must be many loud cracks from splitting or falling trees which would be Just like the sound of a gun. But now, If you are of my opinion, we have had thrills enough for one day, and had best get back to the burgical box at the camp for some carbolic. Who knows what venom these beasts may have in their hideous Jaws?” * But surely no men ever had Just such a day since the world began. Some fresh surprise was ever In store for us. When, following the course of our brook, we at last reached our glade and saw the thorny barricade of our camp, we thought that our adventures were at an end. But we had something more to think of before we could rest. The gate of Fort Challenger had been untouched, the walls were unbroken, and yet It had been visited by some strange and power; ful creature In our absence. No foot-mark showed a trace of Its nature, and only the overhanging branch of the enormous ginko tree suggested how It might have come and gone; "but of Its malevolent strength there was ample evidence In the condition of our stores. They were strewn at random all oVer the ground, and one tin of meat had been crushed Into pieces so as to extract the contents. A case of cartridges had been shattered into matchwood, and one of the brass shells lay shrffdded Into pieces, beside It. Again the feeling of vague horror came upon our souls, and we gazed round with injhtened eyes at the dark shadows which lay around us, In all of which some fearsome shape might be lurking. How good It was when we were lialled by the voice of Zambo, and, going to the edge of the plateau, saw him sitting grinning at us upon the top of the opposite pinnacle. “All well, Massa Challenger, all well!” he cried. “Me stay here. No fear. You always find me when you want.” His honest black face, and the Immense view before us, which carried us half-way back to the af fluent of the Amazon, helped us to remember that we really were upon this earth In the twentieth century, and had not by some magic been conveyed to some raw planet in ltp earliest and wildest state. How difficult it was to realize that the violet line upon the far horizon was well advanced to that great river upon which huge steamers ran, and folk talked of the small affairs of life, while we, marooned among the creatures of a bygone age, coutd but gaze towards it and yearn for all that it meant! Ix>rd John strolled over In my direction. “I say, Malone." said h £ “do you remember that place where those beasts were?” J ‘'Very clearly.” “A sort of volcanic pit, was it not?” “Exactly,” said I. “Did you notice the soil?” * “Rocks. “But round the water—where the reeds were?” . “It was a bluish soil. It looked Jike clffy." “Exactly. A volcanic tube full of blue clay,” “What of that?” I asked. "Oh, nothing, nothing,” said he. CHAPTER XI “For Once I was the Hero” Lord John Roxton was right when he thought that some specially toxic quality might lie in the bite of the horrible creatures which had 'attacked us. On the morning after our first adventure upon the plateau, both Summerlee and I were In great pain and fever, while Challenger's* knee was so bruised that he could hardly limp. We kept to our canp all day, therefore, Lord John busying himself with such help as could give him, in raising the height and thickness of the thorny walls which were our only defense. I remember that during the whole long day I was haunted by the N feeling that we weye closely observed, though by whom or whence I could glye no guess. So strong was the impression that I told Professor Challenger of It, who put It down to the cerebral excitement caused by my /ever. Again and again I glanced round swiftly, with the conviction that I was about to Bee something, but only to meet the dark tangle of our hedge or the solemn and cavernous gloom of the great trees whica arched above our heads. And yet the feeling grew evei stronger in my own mind that something observant and something malevolent was at our very elbow.

. THURSDAY The Reward of Faithfulness Read Luke 9:18-27. Text: 9:24. But whosoever, shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save It. MEDITATION There are some values that cannot be had by striving for them directly, they come only as indirect results. No man can say, behold now I shall live a great life and experience life’s greatest blessings. But if a man does good today and tomorrow as opportunity offers, he comes to the end of each day with the consciousness that he has truly lived. Christ was continually anxious that men should have true goals and worthy motives. Where this is true real life follows as a natural and direct result. "Self-denial, sacrifice and obedience result In the only experience worthy of the name ‘life.’ ” PRAYER —Gracious God, teach us to see the duty that lies nearest at hand. May we find ways of working with our fellows to do the work of the world, that we lose not the sense of thy divine companionship Let us live In heavenly places with Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
