HE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOriS M ilonr. n nonuon newspaper repo tier, rejected by tho girl he loves because h< has. no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for a. dangerous assignment a.nd is sent to interview Professor Challenger, who has recently returned from South America with a story of the existence there of prehistoric animals. Malone sets out for South America with Professors Summerlee and Challenger and Lord Roxton. well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the outlying picket of the lost world, aud climb a detached pinnacle, the only means of ascending. For a bridge they throw a tree across the abyss which separa es them from the main plateau. Their faithful Za.mbo has not yet erossei when their bridge goes down. Malo, e gives Zambo some letters and an order lor rope, to take to the steamboat captain. During Malone’s absence his comrades are captured by ape-men. Lord John escapes and tells Malone the ape-men intend killing the professors. Malone and Roxton shoot the guards and rescue their comrades and four cavedwelling Indians, whom the explorers attempt to return to their people. t.O ON WITH THK STORY CHAPTER XIV (Continued) “Then where the dooce did they drop from?” asked Laird John. ‘A question whifli will, no doubt, be eagerly discussed in every scientific society in Europe and America,”' the Professor answered. “My own reading of the situation for what it is worth—” he inflated his chest enormously and looked insolently around him at the words —“is that evolution has advanced under the peculiar conditions of this country up to the vertebrate stage, the old types surviving ajid living on in company with the newer ones. Thus we find such modern creatures as the tapir—an animal with quite a respectable length of pedigree—the great deer, and the anteater in the companionship of reptilian tonne of inrassic type. So much, is clear. And now come the ape-men and the Indian. What is the scientif .c mind to think of their presence? I can only account for it by an invasion from outside. It is probable that there existed an NO MORE CASTOR OIL FOR THE CHILDREN Give Then Haley’s Magnesia-Oil Mother’s, there’s an easy way now to correct that sour stomach, and to relieve the effect of something that has “disagreed” with the youngsters. Simply give them a teaspoonful or more of Haley’s Magnesia-Oil. It has no oily taste —can be mixed with milk and given children without tleir knowledge—and it’s harmless. A big dose for emergencies is perfectly safe and promptly effective. There is to griping or other unpleasant effect. Haley's Magnosin-01l Is s'-'nly milk of nugnesia and mineral oil combined. The oil carries the magnesia straight to the lower bowel, where most “stomach trouble” originates. The milk of int gnesia neutralizes the acids and the mineral oil lubricates and aids nature qui My to remove the cause of the trouble. Both work together.

anthropoid ape in South America, who in past ages found his way to this place, and that he developed Into the creatures we have seen, some of which”—here he looked hard at me—“were of an appearance and shape which, if it had been accompanied by corresponding intelligence, would, I do not hesitate to say, have reflected credit upon any living race. As to the Indians I can not doubt that they are more recent immigrant from below. Under the stress of famine or of conquest they have made their way up here. Paced by ferocious creatures which they had never before seen, they took refuge in the caves which our young friend has described, but they have no doubt had a hitter fight to hold their own against wild beasts, and especially against the ape-men who would regard them as intruders, and wage a merciless war upon them with a cunning which the larger beats would lack. Hence the fact that their numbers appear to be limited. For my own part I performed my usual role of bringing things down to a strictly pfosaic and practical level by the remark that one of the Indians was missing. “He has golne to fetch some water,” said Lord Roxton. “We fitted him up with an empty beef tin and he is off.” “To the old camp?” “No, to the brook. It's among the trees there. It can't be more than a couple of hundred yards. But the beggar is certainly taking his time." “I’ll go and look after him,” said I. I picked up my rifle and strolled In the direction of the brook, leaving my friends to lay out the scanty breakfast. I could hear the murmur of our brook somewhere ahead of me, but there was a tangle of trees and brushwood between me and It. I was making my way through this at a point which was .iust out of sight of my companions, when, under one of the trees, I noticed something red huddled among the bushes. As I approached it, I was shocked to see that it was the dead body of the missing Indian. He lay upon his side, his limbs drawn up, and his head screwed round at a most unnatural angle, so that he seemed to be looking straight over his own shoulder. I gave a cry to warn my friends that something was amiss, and running forwards I stooped over the body. Surely my guardian angel was very near me then, for some Instinct of fear, or it may have been some faint rustle of leaves, made me glance upwards. Out of the thick green foliage which hung low over my head, two long muscular arms covered with reddish hair were slowly descending. Another instant and the great stealthy hands would have been round my throat. I sprang backwards, but quick as I was, those hands were quicker still. Through my sudden spring they missed a fatal grip, but one of them caught the back of my neck and the other one my face. I threw my hands up to protect my throat, and the next moment the huge paw had slid down my face and closed over them. I was lifted lightly from the ground, and I felt an intolerable pressure forcing my head bark and back until the strain upon the cervical spine was more than I could bear. My senses swam, but T still tore at the hand and forced it out from my chin. Looking up I saw a frightful face with cold inexorable light blue eyes looking down into mine. There was something hypnotic in those terrible eyes. I could struggle no longer. As the creature felt me grow limp In his grasp, two white canines gleamed for a moment at each side of the vile mouth, and the grip tight ted still more upon my chin, forcing it always upwards and back. A thin, oval-tinted mist formed before my eyes and little silvery bells tinkled in my ears. Dully and far off I heard the crack of the shock as I was dropped to the earth, where I lay without sense or motion. I awoke to find myself on my back upon the grass in our lair within the thicket. Someone had brought the water from the brook, and Lord John was sprinkling my head with it, while Challenger and Summerlee were propping me up with concern In their faces. For a moment I had a glimpse of the human spirits behind their scientific masks. It was really shock, rather tlian injury, which had prostrated me, and In Jin If an hour, inspite of aching head and stiff neck, 1 was sitting up and ready for anything. “But you've had the escape of your life, young fellah, my lad,” said Lord Roxton. “T missed the beast in my flurry, but he dropped you all right and was off like a streak." It was clear now that the apemen had in some way marked us down, and that we were watched on every side. We had not so much to fear from them during the day, but they would be very likely to rush us by night.; so the sooner we got away from their neighborhood the better. On three sides of us was absolute forest, and there we might find ourselves in an ambush. But on the fourth side—that which sloped down in the direction of the lake, there was only low scrun, with scatterad trees and occasional open glades It was, in fact, the route which I had mys :lf taken in my sol. itary journey, and It led us straight for the Indian caves. This then must for every reason be our road. One great regret we had, and that was to leave our old camp behind us, not only for the sake of the stores which remained there, but even more because we were losing touch with Zambo, our link with the outside world. However, we had a fair supply of cartridges and all our guns, so for a. time at least we could look after ourselves and w© hoped soon to have a chance of returning and restoring our communications with our negro He had faithfully promised to stay where he was .and we had not a that he would be as good as his word.

THURSDAY The Stubborn Heart Read Lk. 16:14-31. Text; 16:31. If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead. MBDITATION —We are all the while trying to escape the necessity of making vital decisions affecting our own lives. We want the right to be so plain that wa may see it without search and follow without effort. Life Is not thus. We must lay firm hold on our own natures, bring our wills Into action, set our minds at work, then the powers of God are available for our instruction and our help. “It is the old story. We are wanting God to appear in imperial glory; and he comes among us as a humble carpenter. We want great miracles and we have the daily Providence. It is a great day when we discover our God in the common bush. When we enjoy a closer walk with God, common things will wear the hues of heaven.” PRAYER—O God turn our eyes, we pray Thee, towards Thy light and our minds towards Thy truth. Remove all stubbornness from our hearts. May Thy teachings shine in our lives like stars In the night. Let our strength be renewed In Thee. Amen. (Copyright, 1925 —F. L. Fagley)
