THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyie

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper reporter. rejected b.v the erirl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for i dangerous assignment a re! 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 > rofessors Summerlee and Challenger and Lord Koxton. well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the outlying picket of the lost world, and ciimb 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 throws Zambo some letter i and an order for rope to take to tne steamboat ea: dn. During Marc tie's absence his miracles are captured by ape-men. Liord John escape,; and tells Malone the ape-men intend killing the professors. Malone ind Roxton shoot the guards and rcsiue their comrades and four cavedwelling Indians, whom the explorers return to their people. The old Indian chief welcomes them and his returned son. The whole Indian army goes in pursuit of ihe aue-men and wage a successful batt e against them. <i© ON WITH THU STORY CHAPTER XIV (Continued) as we advanced together through the woods we found the ape-men lying thick, transfixed with spears or arrows. The ape-man had been driven back to their city, they had made a last stand there, once again they had been broken, and now we were in time to Ree the final fearful scene of all. Home eighty or a hundred males, the last survivors, had been driven across that same little dealing which led to the edge of the cliff, the scene of onr own exploit two days before. As we arrived the Indians, a semicircle of spearmen, had closed in on them, and in a minute it was over. Thirty or forty died where they stood. The others, screaming and clawing, were thrust over the precipice, and went hurtling down, as their prisoners had of old, on to the sharp bamboos six hundreed feet below. It was as Challenger had said, and the reign of man w.re assured forever in Maple White Land. The males were exterminated, Ape Town was destroyed, the females and young were driven away to live in bondage, and the long rivalry of untold centuries had reached its bloody end. Zambo had been _terrified by the spectacle from afar of an avalanche of apes falling from the edge of the cliff. “Come away, Massas, come away!” he cried, his eyes starting from his head. “The debbll got you sure if you stay up there.” "It is the vince of sanity!” s&id Summerlee with conviction. “We have had adventures enough and they are neither suitable to our character or our position. T hold you to your word. Challenger.

From now onwards you devote your energies to getting us out of this horrible country and back once more to civilization.” CHAPTER XV “Our Eyes Have Seen Great Wonders." The victory of the Indians and the annihilation of the ape-men, marked the turning point of our fortunes. From then onwards, we were In truth masters of the plateau, for the natives looked Upon us with a mixture of fear and gratlftude, since by our strange powers we had aided them to destroy their hereditary foe. For their own sakes they would, perhaps, be glad to see the departure of such formldabe and incalculable people but they have not themselves suggested any way by which we may reach the plains below. There had been, so far as w'e could follow their signs a tunnel by which the place could be approached, the lower exit of which we had seen from below. By this, no doubt, both ape-men and Indians had at different epochs reached the top, and Maple White with his companion had taken the same way. Only the year before, however, there had been a terrific earthquake, and the upper end of the tunnel had fallen" in anti completely disappeared. The Indians now could only shake their heads and shrug their shoulders when we expressed by signs our desire to descend. It may be that they can not, but It may also be that they will not, help ur to get away. At the end of the victorious cam paign the surviving ape-folk were driven across the plateau (their wallings were horrible) and established in the neighborhood of the Indian caves, where they would, from now onwards, be a servile race under the eyes of their masters. Hewers of wood and drawers of water, such were they from now onwards. We had returned across the plateau with our allies two days after the battle, and made our camp at the foot of their cliffs They would have had us share their caves with them, but Lord John would hy no means consent to it, considering that to do so would put us In their power if they were treacherously disposed. We continually visited their caves, which were most remarkably places. They were all on the one stratum, hollowed out of some soft rock which lay between the volcanic basalt forming the ruddy cliffs above them, and the hard granite which formed their base. The openings were about eighty feet above the ground, and were led up to by long stone stairs, so narrow and steep that no large ani? mal could mount them. Inside they were warm and dry, running in straight passages of varying length into the side of tire hill, with smooth gray walls decorated with many excellent pictures done with charred j sticks and representing the various animals of the plateau. Since we had learned that the huge igunodons were kept as tame herds hy their owners, and were simply walking meat-stores, we had con ceived that nmn. even with his prim! live weapons, had established his ascendancy upon the plateau. We were soon to discover that it was not so, and that he was still there upon tolerance. It was on th? third day after our forming our camp near the In dbin caves thit the tragedy occurred. Challeager and Summerlee had gone off together that day to the lake where some of the natives, under their direction, weic engaged in harpooning specimens of the great lizards. Lord John and I had remained in our camp, while a number of the Indians were scattered about upon the grassy slope in front of the caves engaged in different ways. Suddenly there vas a shrill cry of alarm, with the word “Stoa” resounding from a hundred tongues. Fr<*rn every side men, women, and children were rushing wildly for shelter, swarming up the staircases and lirtp the caves in a mad stampede. Looking up, we could see them waving their arms from the rOcks above and beckoning to us to Join them In their refuge. We had both seized our magazine rifles and ran out to see what the danger could be. Suddenly from the near belt of trees there broke forth a group of twelve or fifteen Indians, running for their lives, and at their very heels two of those frightful monsters which had disturbed our camp and pursued me upon my solitary Journey. Ir. shape they were like horrible toads, and moved in a succession of springs, but in size they were of an Incredible bulk, larger than the largest elephant. We had never before seen them, save at night, and Indeed they are nocturnal animals save when disturbed In their lairs, as these had been. We now stood amazed at the sight, for their blotched and warty skins were of a curious flshlike iridescence, and the sunlight struck them w>h an ever-varying rainbow bloom aR they moved.

RUSH AND THRUSTFENCING’S EASY x. Nestor Lemair, Champion of Belgian Army, Shows That All You Need to Master the Science Is Artistry and Grace —Maybe. By Ross H. Garrigris

Swords gleaming in the moonlight sound romantic, but a joust even in jest is no joke. Today, my hair is parted in the middle—figuratively. My head, according to all rules, should he split in twain. I should have a young eliasm i.’i my cheek, a gaping gap in my left and

a yawning hole in the ribs. Really, the Hesperus should tnke a back seat as a wreck, compared to me. I fenced with Nestor Lemair, 209 E. Minnesota St., champion once of the Belgian army and the man who taught our Over-There crusaders how to be mean with a bayonet. The “battle” took place at the Associated Artists Bldg.. 28 W. North St_, wberp Lemair holds classes. Asa fencer, I'm a good post hole digger. From now on. I’m confining my knifing complex to dining table calisthenics.

It Sounds Easy “Fencing.” said Lemalr, when I asked him to teach me In one le-s son. “is like playing a violin. The more you study the less you know. It takes artistry’’ and grace.” He demonstrated. My name is neither Grace nor Gwendolyn. 1 was convinced I could never he a fencer, but I was game. He trotted forth a breast shield like an umpire wears. It had a red heart embroidered on it. Reminded me of a Mexican firing squad. He put on the breastplate. I sw'elled. Maybe he feared my stalwart arm after all. Then he handed me a mask like a baseball one. only thick er meshes, more like a collender. I put it on. Next I’m given a leather gauntlet and a glove with the thumb heavily padded. He also dons a mask.

“Put your right foot forward. * T’m learning fast. “Now bend gracefully—springylike.” I wave my sword gaily in the air. He teaches me to fend right. Fend left.

“All right, I'm going to out you gore.

were watching: me. X should be a> brave soldier. / Wham again! Lightning has nothing on his rapier at all. Then he rapped me In the of the head. Took off half a mus-'j tache. Double figurative. I haven't’ any mustache. But he convinced me* he could. He stuck me In the ribs and me all but gasping. My sword nevegfl hit his once. Lem air recommends fencing as tul sure cure against old age. “We'ro all too slow,” he said, and., he demonstrated the usual old slouch. “But as a fencer, wftchJ me walk.” His eyes were bright! and his carriage erect —springy.
