He ■hows 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 pterodatyl. 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 Summerlee, scientist and Lord John 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 throsv a three across the abyss which separates them from the main plateau. After they are over a traitor pushes their bridge down. Their faithful Zambo i* forced to remain on the other side. They build a retreat called Fort Challenger. In traversing the plateau, volcanic in character.i they see many prehistoric animals. Malone climbs a high tree and makes a chart of the surrounding country. That night he steals away in the moonlight to explore the central lake which he names Lake Gladys GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER Xll—Continued
.1 had not pone a hundred yards before I deeply repented my rashness. It was dreadful In the forest. The trees grew so thickly and their foliape spread so widely that I could see nothlnp of the moonlight save that here and there the hlph branches made a tanpled fillpree against the starry sky. As the eyes became more used to the obscurity one learned that there were different degrees of darkness among the trees—that some were dimly visible, while between and among them there were coal-black shadowed- patches, like the mouths of caves, from which I yahrank In horror as I passed. I thought of the despairing yell of the tortured iguanodon—that dreadful cry which had echoed through the woods. I thought, too, of the glimpse I had In the light of Lord John’s torch of that bloated, warty, blood-slavering muzzle. Kven now I was on Its hunting-ground. At any instant It might spring upon me from the shadows —this nameless and horrible monster. I stopped, and, picking a cartridge from my pocket, I opened the breech of my gun. Ap I touched the lever my heart leaped within me. It was the shot-gun, not the rifle, which I had taken! The Impulse to return swept over me. Here, surely, was a most excellent reason for my failure—one for which no one would think the less of me. But foolish pride fought against that very word. I could not must not fail. After all, my rifle would probably have been as
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER TRY DOSE OF SALTS No man or woman can make a mistake by flushing occasionally, says a well-known authority. Too much rich food creates adds which clog the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood. Then you sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache In the kidneys or your back hurts, begin to drink soft water in quantities; also get about four ounces of .Tad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and 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 llthla, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which everyone can take now and then to help keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby often preventing serious kidney compiler tlons. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.—Advertisement.

useless as a shot-gun against such danger* as I might meet. The darkness of the forest had been alarming, but even worse was the white, still flood of moonlight in the open glade of the iguanodons. Hidden among the bushes, I looked out at it. None of the great brutes were in sight. Perhaps the tragedy which had befallen one of them had driven them from tbelr feedingground. In the misty, silvery night I could see no sign of any living thing. Taking courage, therefore, I slipped rapidly across it, and among the jungle on the farther side I picked up once again the brook which was my guide. As one descended the slope the woods became thinner, and bushes, with occasional high trees, took the place of the forest. I could make good progress, therefore, and I could see without being seen. I passed close to a pterodactyl swamp, and as I did so, with a dry, crisp, leathery rattle of wings, one of these great ceatures—it was twenty feet at least from tip to tip—rose up from somewhere near me and soared into the air. As it passed across the face of the moon the light shone clearly through the memljranous wings, and it looked like a flying skeleton against the white, I ropical radiance. I crouched low among the bushes, for I knew from past experience that with a single cry the creature could bring a hundred of its loathsome mates about my ears. It was not until it had settled again that I dared to steal onwards upon my journey. The night had been exceedingly still, but as I advanced I became conscious of a low, rumbling sound, a continuous murmur, somewhere in front of me. This grew louder as I proceeded, until at last It was clearly quite close to me. When I stood still the sound was constant, so that it seemed to come from some nlationary cause. It was likp a boiling kettle or the bubbling of some great pot. Soon I came upon the source of it, for in the center of a small clearing I found a lake—or a pool, rather, for It was not larger than the basin of the Trafalgar Square fountain—of some black, pitch-like stuff, the surface of which rose and fell In great blisters of bursting gas. The air above it was shimmering with heat, and the ground round was so hot that I could hardly, bear to lay my hand on it. It was clear that the great volcanic outburst which had raised this strange plateau so many years ago had not yet entirely spent its forces Blackened rocks and mounds of lava I had already seen everywhere peeping our from amid the luxurious vegetation which draped them, but this asphalt pool in the Jungle was the first sign that we had of actual existing activity on the slopes of the ancient crater. I had no time to examine it further, for I had need to hurry if I were to be back in camp in the morning. At last (my watch showed that it was one in the morning) I saw the gleam of water amid the openings of the jungle, and ten minutes later I was among the reeds upon the borders of the central lake. I was exceedingly dry, so I lay down took a long draught of its waters, which were fresh and cold. There was a broad pathway with many tracks upon it at the spot which I had found, so that it was clearly one of the drihking places of the animals. Close to the water's edge there was a huge isolated block of lava. Up this I climbed and, lying on the top, I had an excellent view in every direction. The first thing which I saw filled me with aqiazement. When I described the view from the summit of the great tree, I said that on the farther cliff I could see a number of dark spots, which appeared to be the mouths of caves. Now, as I looked up at the same cliffs I saw discs of light in every direction, ruddy, clearly-defined patches, like the port-holes of a liner in the darkness. For a moment I thought it was the lava-glow from some volcanic action; but this could not be so. Any volcanic action would surely be down in the hollow, anil not high among the rocks. What, then, was the alternative? It *was wonderful, and yet it must surely be. These ruddy spots must be the reflection of fireH in the cave fires—

TUESDAY Prayer Read Lk.-ll:l-13. Text: 11:1. One of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray. MEDITATION The disciples were daily witnessing Christ’s use of prayer as they saw him heal and heard him preach. They knew the source of his power was In bis union with God which was continually made real through prayer. They desired this power and yearned in their hearts to know- the Father as Jesus knew him. They asked Jesus to teach them the Way to the Father in prayer and he gave them the simple words that have become the humble petitions of millions of hearts. In this prayer there Is but one request for material things “For our daily bread,” all other requests are for spiritual blessings and the welfa , :a of all men. For these the heart truly yearns and for those we should learn to pray to the Father, who longs to give us all good things. We pray to "Our Father” of infinite-mercy and of tender love. PRAYER—O God, our Father, who hast such riches for the children of men, prepare our hearts for thy blessings. Win our minds away from material things. May we not be easily daunted nor turned aside but may we move towards thee and there abide. Amen. (Copyright 1926—F. L. Fagley) y A Bargain In Trains Jake Lanskl walked up to the ticket window.
