THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

, SYNOPIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter. rejected by the firl he love# because he has no heroic deeds to hi* credit, appeals to his editor tor 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. Malone seta out for South America with Professors Summerlee and Challenger and Lord Roxton, well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the outhung picket of the lost world, and • climb a detached pinnacle, the only means of ascending. For a bridge they throw a tree across the abyss which separates them from the main Plateau. Their faithful Zambo has not yet crossed when their bridge goes down. Malone gives Zambo some letters and an order for 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, do ON WITH THIS STORY CHAPTER XIV (Continued) It was in the early afternoon that we started upon our journey. As we started there broke from the thick, silent woods behind us a sudden great ululation of the ape-men, which may have been a cheer of triumph at our departure or a jeer of contempt at our ight. Looking back we saw only the dense screen of trees, but that long-drawn yell told us how many of our enemies lurked among them. We saw no sign of pursuit, however, and soon we had got into more open country and beyond their power. As I tramped along, the rearmost of the four, I could not help smiling at the appearance of my three companions in front. Was this the luxurious Lord John Roxton who had sat that evening in the Albany amidst his Persian rugs and his pictures in the pink radiance of the tinted lights? And was this the imposing professor who had swelled behind the great desk in his massive study at Enmore Park? And, finally, could this be the austere and prim figure which had risen before the meeting at the Zoological Institute? No three tramps that ofte could have met in a Surrey lane could have looked more hopeless and bedraggled. We had, it is true, been only a week or so upon the top of the plateau, but all our spare clothing was in our camp below, and the one week

Says His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen of 26 Forbes St., Rochester, N. Y., suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated Impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the bodjr. With this idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments ami finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery, which he called Allenrhu, to others who took It, with what might bo cplled marvelous success. After years of urging he decided t olot sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefoie instructed Hook’s Dependable Drug Stores, Haag Drug Cos., Goldsmith’s Drug Stores, and druggists everywhere to dispense Allenrhu with the understanding that If his prescription does not banish every sign and symptom of *he disease he will gladly return t r money without comment.— Advc.r ment.

SALESMAN’ SAYS “IT’S A BARGAIN”

Mr. Byron Smith, Standard Oil Salesman, Declares That People Get Their Money’s Worth When They Buy Todd’. Tonic.

“Todd’3 Tonic is a bargain, and I honestly believe it will relieve others of stomach trouble as quickly as it did me. When I started to take Todd's Tonic, I had a pain around my heart that was very alarming. It was always worse after eating. My food soured my stomach, gas

had been a severe one upon us all, though least to me who had not to endure the handling of the ape-men. My three friends had all lost their hats, and had now bound handkerchiefs round their heads, their clothes hung in ribbons about them, and their unshaven grimy faces were hardly to be recognized. Both Summerlee and Challenger were limping heavily, while I still dragged my feet from weakness after the shock of the morning, and my neck was f.s stiff as a board from the murderous grip that held it. We were indeed a sorry crew, and I did not wonder to see our Indian companions glance back at us occasionally with horror and amazement on their faces. In the late afternoon we reached the margin of the lake, and as we emerged from the bush and saw the sheet of water stretching before us our native friends set up a shrill cry of joy and pointed eagerly in front of them- It was indeed a wonderful sight which lay before us. Sweeping over the glassy surface was a great flotilla of canoes coming straight for the shore upon which we stood. They were some miles out when we first saw them, but they shot forward with great swiftness, and were soon so near that the rower.® could distinguish our persons. Instantly a thunderous shout of delight burst from them, and we sawfthem rise from their seats, their paddles and spears madly in the air. Then bending to their work once more, they flew across the Intervening water, beached their boats upon the sloping sand, and rushed up to us, prostrating themselves with loud cries of greeting before the young chief. Finally one of them, an elderly man, ran forward and embraced most tenderly the youth whom vve had saved. He then looked at us and asked some questions, after which he stepped up with much dignity and embraced us also each in turn. Then, at his order, the whole tribe lay lown upon the ground before us In homage. "They may be undevelepod types,” said Challenger, stroking his beard and looking around at them, "but their deportment in the presence of their superiors might be a lesson to some of our more advanced Europeans. Strange how correct are the instincts of the natural man!"

It was clear that the natives had come out upon the war path, for every man carried hia spear—a long bamboo tipped with bone—his bow and arrows, and some sort of club or stone battle-ax slung at his side. Their dark, angry glances at the woods from which we had come, and the frequent repetition of the word “Doda,” made it clear enough that this was a rescue party who had set forth to save or revenge the old chief’s son, for such we gathered that the youth must be. A council was now held by the whole tribe squatting in a circle, whilst we sat near on a slab of basalt and watched their proceed Ings. Two or three warriors spoke, and finally our young friend made a spirited harangue with such eloquent features and gestures that we could understand it all as clear ly as if we had known his language. “What is the use of returning?” he said. "Sooner or later the thing must he done. Your comrades have been murdered. What if I have returned safe? These others have been done to death. There is no safety for any of us. We are assembled now and ready.” Then he pointed to US'. “These strange men are our friends. They are great fighters, and they hate the ape-man even as we do. They command," here he pointed up to heaven, “the thunder and the lightning. When shall we have such a chance again? Let us go forward, and either die now or live for the future In safety. How shall we go back unashamed to our women?” The old chief stepped forward to us, and asked us some questions, pointing at the same time to the woods. Lord John made a sign to him that he should wait for an answer and then he turned to us. “Well, It's up to you to say what you will do,” said he; "for my part I ha.-e a score to settle with these monkey-folk, and If It ends by wiping them off the face of the earth I don’t see that the earth need fret about it. I'm goin’ with our little red pals and I mean to see them through the scrap. What do you say, young fellah?” "Os course 1 will come.” "And you, Challenger?” “I will assuredly co-operate.” “And you, Summerlee?” “We seem to be drifting very far from the object of this expedition, Loi'd John. I assure you that I little thought when I left my professional chair in London that it was for the purpose of heading a

I was constipated, too, and had to be constantly resorting to the use of laxatives. Almost from the very first dose of Todd's Tonic I began to improve. My appetite came back. I didn’t dread to see night come because I could sleep soundly. And my liver became more active and I didn’t* have to take laxatives. I haven't had a headache for a long time.

The old fellow clasped our hands, each in turn, while his men cheered louder than ever, ft was too late to advance that night, so the Indians settled down into a rude bivouac. On all sides their fires began to glimmer and smoke. Some of them who had disappeared into tho Jungls came back presently driving a young lguanodo.i before them. Like the others, It had a daub of asphalt upoq its shoulder, and it was only when we saw one of the natives step forward with the air of an owner and give his consent to the beast's slaughter that we understood at last that these great creatures were as much prlva e property as a herd of cattle, ar.d that these symbols which had so perplexed us were nothing more than the marks of the owner.
