Malone, seis out for South America with SVoieesors Summerlee and Challenger add .Lord Roxton. well-known explore*. They reach a high cliff, the outlvfrur picket of the lost world, and ciimtt a detached pinnacle, the only means of ascending. For a bridge they tihrovv a tree across the abyss which fcepatrates them from the main plateau. Their faithful Zambo has not vet crossed when their bridge goes down. Ftatone mattes a chart of the surrounding country and while exploring the (Vntral lake Is pursued in a mail chase by an enormous beast. By falling IntoV a deep pit ha, is saved from its powerful Jaws. When he returns the cat UP shows signs of a skirmish and \U comrades are gone. <M> ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXI —Continued I was so stunned by this sudden shock that for a time I must have newly lost my reason. I have a vague recollection, as one rememr hers a bail dream, of rushing about through the woods aJI round the empty camp, calling widly for my companions. No answer came back from the silent shadows. The horrible thought that I might never see them again, that I might flnd myself abandoned all alone in that dreadful place, with no possible way of descending into the world below, that I might live and die in that nightmare countr^,, drove me to desperation. ( After a period, during which I sat in bewilderment, I set myself to try and discover what sudden paisfortune could have befallen my Companions. The whole disordered appearance of the camp showed that there had been some sort of attack, a ,19 tne rifle shot, no doubt, marked the time when it had occurred. That .there should have been only* one shot showed thai. it had been all over in an Instant. The rifles still lay upon th> ground, and one of them —Lard John’s—had the empty cartridge in the breech. The blankets of Challenger and of Summerlee beside the Are suggested that they had been asleep at the time. The cases of ammunition and of food were scattered about In a wild litter, together with our unfortunate cameras and plate-carriers, but none of them were missing. On the other hand, all the exposed provisions—> and I remembered that there were a considerable quantity of them —* were gone. They were animals, then, end not natives, who had made the inroad, for surely the latter would have left nothing behind. But if animals, or some single terrible animal, then what had become of my comrades? A ferocious beast would surely have destroyed them and left their remains. It is true that there was that one hideous pool of blood, which told of violence. Such a monster as had pursued me during the night could have carried away a victim as easily 9.8 a cat would a mouse. In that case the others would have followed in purmmr LIKE LEMONADE

suit. But then they would assuredly have taken their rifles with them. The more I tried to think it out with my confused and weary brain the less could I find any plausible explanation. I searched round in the forest, but could see no tracks which could help me to conclusion. Once I lost myself, and it was only by good luck, and after an hour of wandering, that I found the camp once more. Suddenly a thought came to me and brought some little comfort to my heart. I was not absolutely alone in the world. Down at the bottom of the cliff, and within call of me, was waiting the faithful Zatrtbo. I went to the edge of the plaloau and looked over. Sure enough, he was squatting among his blankets beside his fire in his little camp. .But, to my amazement, a second man was seated in front of him. For an instant my heart leaped for Joy, as I thought that one of my comrades had made \iis way safetly flown. But a second glance dispelled, the hope. The r,V,;ng sun shone rod upon the man’s skin. He wsg an Indian. I shputed loudly and waved my handkerchief. Presently Zambo looked up, waved his hand, and turned to ascend the pinnacle. In a short time he was standing close to me and listening with deep dietress to the story which I told him. "Devil got them for sure. Massa Malone,’’ said he. "You got into Ihe devil’s couutry, sah. and he take you all to himself. You take advice, Massa Malone, and come down quick, else he get you as well.” ,f How can I come down, Zambo?” "You get creepers from trees. Maasa Malone. Throw them over here. I make fast to this stump, and so you have bridge. "We have thought of that. There are no creepers here which could bear us.’’ “Send for ropes. Massa Malone.” "Wfo can I send, and where?” "Send to Indian village, sah. Plenty hiderope in Indian village. Indian down below; send him.”

“Who is he?” "One .oif our Indians. Other ones beat him. and take away his pay. He come back to us. Ready now to take letter, bring rope—anything." To take a letter! Why not? Perhaps he might bring help; but in any case lie would ensure that our lives were not spent for nothing. ,and that ruiws of all that we had won for Science should reach our tfriends at home. I had two completed letters already waiting. I would spend the day In writing a. third, which would bring my experiences absolutely up to date. The Indiana could bear this back to the world. I ordered Zambo, therefore, to come again in the evening and I spent my miserable and lonely day in recording my own adventures of the night beforet I also drew up a note, to be given to any white merchant or captain of a steam boat whom the Indian could find, imploring them to see that ropes were sent to us, s.’nce our lives must depend uopn it. These documents I threw bo Zambo in the evening, and also my purse, which contained three English sovereign!). These were to be given ’.o the Indian, and he was promised twice aa much if he returned with the ro(pes. OHAJPTEIt XIII “A Sight Which I Shall Never For* E rtf’ Just as the sun was setting upon that melancholy night i saw the lonely figure of the Indian upon the vast plain beneath me, and I wached him, our one faint hope of sal\*ation, until he disappeared in the rising mists of evening which lay* rose-tinted from the setting sun, between the far-off river and me. It was quite dark when I at last turned back ‘to our 3tricken camp, and my last vision as I went was the red gleam of Zambo’s fire, the one poirtt of light in the wide world below, as was his faithful presence In my own shadowed soul. And yet I felt happier than I had done since this crushing blow had fallen upon me, far It was good to think that the wdrld should know what we bad done. It waJ an awesome thing to sleep In that 111-fated camp; and yet it was cvfcn more unnerving to do so in the Jungle. I closed the door of the zareba, lit three separate fires in a triangle, and having eaten a hearty supper dropped off info a profound sleep, from which' I had a strange and most welcome awakening. In the early morning, just as day was breaking, a hand was laid upon my arm, and starting up, with all my nerves in a tingle and hand feeling for a rifle, I gave a cry of joy as in the. cold gray light I saw Lord John Roxton kneeling beside me. It was he—and yet it was not he. I had left him calm In his bearing, correct in his person, prim in his dress. Now he was pale and wild-eyed, gasping as be breathed like one who has run far and fast. His gaunt face was scratched and bloody, his clothes were hanging in rags, and his hat was gone. I stared in amazement, but he gave me no chance for questions. He was grabbing a* our stores all the time he spoke. "Quick, young fellah! Quick!” he cried. “Every moment counts. Get the rifles, both of them. I have the other two. Now, all the cartridges ydu can gather. Fill up your pockets. Now, some food. Half a dozen tins will do. That’s all right! Don’t wait to talk or thlriK. Get a move on, or we are done!"

MEDITATION 7n this story Jesus pictures to his disciples a man’s joy when he finds a welcome on his return home. This sort of a reception Jesus craves in our hearts. God’s spirit is ever waiting to enter human life, but the Spirit does not enter where there Is no hearty welcome. "God Is an ever present fact to be ready every hour, for every, demonstration God may make Is to live. If we are trustfully ready to own ~Him In an hour when confession means sacrifice, eagerly ready to go forward with Him when His Kingdom advances, humbly ready for the Judgment of his Son. If we are ready for God It makes no difference whether we are rich or poor.” . PRAYER—Our Father, may we be this day as watchers on the wall, alert to guard our lives against the approach of evil. Anxious to welcome all good influences. Let us watch not only our own' lives, but be ever ready to guard the best Interests of all Thy children. Through Christ. Amen. (Copyright, 1925 —F. L.
