THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
fcYNOimS Malone, a London newspaper reporter, rejected by the girl he lovea because he has no herolo deed* to hta 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 stego saurus 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 other two are Professor Summer lee, scientist, and Lord Joint Roxton, well-known explorer. At Manos. 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 throw a tree tup-oss the abyss which separates them from the main plateau. After they are over a traitor pushes their bridge down. Their faithful Zambo is forced to remain on tho <dher side. They built a retreat called Fort Challenger. In exploring the plateau, volcanic in character, they see many prehistoric animals. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER Xl—Continued "i must say,” said he, "that I thi lk it ; wouid be a mighty poor thin* to go back to London before T know a great deal more of this place than I do at present." "1 could never dare to walk, into the back office of paper and face old McArdle,” said I. ‘‘He'd never forgive me for leaving such unexhausted copy behind me. Besides, so far as I can see, it is not worth discussing, since we can’t get down, even if we wanted." "It is a waste of energy to do anything else," growled Sun.merlee from behind his pipe. “Let me remind you that we came here upon a perfectly definite mission, entrusted to us at the meeting of the Zoological Institute in London. That mission was to test the truth of Professor (’hallenger’s statements. Those statements, as I am bound to admit, we are now ;n a position to Indorse. Our ostensible work is therefore done. As to the detail which remains to be worked t out upon this plateau it is so enormous that only a large expedition, with a very special equipment, could hope to cope with It. Should we attempt to do so ourselves, the only possible result must be that we shall never return with the 'lmportant contribution to science which we have already gained. Professor Challenger has devised means for getting us on to this plateau when It appeared to be Inaccessible; I think that we should now call upon him to use the same Ingenuity in getting us back to the world from which we camo.” ‘The problem of the descent Is at first sight a formidable one," said WASH YOUR KIDNEYS BY DRINKING WATER Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionaly, says a noted authority who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys In their efforts so expel It from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery In the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and when the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. To help neutralize these Irritating acids; to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the bony's urinous wiste, get four ounces of Jad Halts from any pharmacy here. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to heln flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving hlndder weakness. Jad Salts Is inexpensive; can not injure and makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.— Advertisement. P IMPLY?

Challenger, “and yet I cannot doubt that the intellect can solve it. i am prepared to agree with our colleague that a protracted stay in Maple White Land is at present' inadvisable and that the question of our return will soon have to be faced. I absolutely refuse to leave, however, until we have made at least a superficial examination of this country and are able to take back with us something in the nature of a chart.“ Professor Summerlee gave a snort of impatience. “We have spent two long days in exploration,” said he, "and we are no wiser as to the actual geography of the place than when we started. It is clear that It Is all thickly wooded and it would take months to penetrate it and to learn the relations of one part to another. If there were some central peak It would be different, but it all slopes downward, so far as we can see. The farther we go the less likely It is that we will get any general view.” It was at that moment that I had my inspiration. My eyes chanced to light upon the enormous gnarled trunk of the glngko tree which cast its huge branches over us. Surely*. if its bole exceeded that of all others. Its height must do the same. If the rim of the plateau was Indeed the highest point, then why should this mighty tree not prove to be a watchtower which commanded the whole cr untrv? Now, ever since T ran wild a*, a lad In Ireland I have been a bold and skilled tree-climber. My comrades might he masters on the rocks, hnt I knew that I would he supreme among its branches. Could I only get my legs on to the lowest of the giant oIT-shoots, then It would be strange Indeed If I could not make my way to the top. My comrades were delighted at my Idea. "By George, young fellah, you’ve put your hand on it I" said Lord John, clapping me on the badk. “How we never came to think of It before I can’t imagine! There’s not more than an hour of daylight left, but if you take your notebook you may be able to get some rough sketch of the place. It we put these three ammunition cai-.es under the branch, I will soon hoist you on to it." He stood on the boxes while I faced the trunk, and was gently raising me when Challenger sprang forward and gave me such a thrust with is huge hand that he fairly shot me Into the tree. With both arms clasping the branch, I scrambled hard with my feet until I had worked, first my body, and then my knees, on to It. There were three excellent offishoots, like the huge runks of a ladder, above my head, and a tangle of convenient branches beyond, so that I clambered upward with such speed that I soon lost sight of the ground and had nothing but foliage beneath me. There was some thick, bush-llke clump which seemed to be a parasite upon a branch up which I was swarming. I leaned my head round it in order to see what was beyond, and I nearly fell out of the tree in my surprise and horror at what I saw. A face was gazing into mine—at the distance of only a foot or two. The creature that owned it had been crouching behind the parasite, and had looked round at the same Instant that I did. It was a human face—or at least It was for more human than any monkey’s that I have ever seen. It was long, whitish, and blotched with pimples, the nose flattened, and the lower Jaw projecting, with a bristle of coarse whiskers round the chin. The eyes, which were under thick and heavy brows, were bestial and ferocious, and as it opened its mouth to snarl what sounded like a at me I observed that it had curved, sharp canine teeth. For an Instant I read hatred and meance in the evil eyes. Then quick as a flash, came an expression of overpowering fear. There was a crash of broken boughs as it dived wildly down Into the tangle of green. I caught a glimpse of a hairy body like that of a reddish pig, and then it was gone amid a swirl of leaves and branches. “What’s tho matter?" shouted Roxton from below. "Anything wrong with you?” “Did you see It?” I cried, with my arms round the branch and all my nerves tingling. "We heard a row, as if your foot had slipped. What was it?” I was so shocked at the sudden and strange appearance of this apeman that I hesitated whether I should not climb down again and tell my experience to my companions. But I was already so far up the great tree that It seemed a humiliation to return without having carried out my mission. After a long pause, therefore, to recover my breath and my courage, I continued tny ascent. Once I put my weight upon a rotten branch and swung for a few seconds by my hands, but In the main it was all easy climbing. Gradually the leaves thinned around me and I was aware, from the wind upon my face, that I had topped all the trues of the forest. I was determined, however, not to look about me before I had reached the very highest oplnt, so 1 scrambled

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS

s SATURDAY Finding God in Christ Read Luke 9:46-50. Text: 9:48. Whoever shall receive me recelveth him that sent me. Meditation—Jesus associated Himself with God in an entirely unique manner. He said he was the way to the Father’s heart, “no man cometh to the Father hut by Me.” He could speak as from God, “Come unto me . . . and I will give you rest.” He was the source of life, “I am the way, the truth and the life” and of the life eternal. “I am the resurrection and the life.” He was the source of regeneration of humanity. “I am the true Vine” and through him we are to cbme to God. “I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” He was the revelation of the Father, “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” and he was eternally Joined with the Father in the world's redemption. “If a man Rut on Sore Throat Musterole relieves sore throat quickly.
