THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspauer reporter rejected by the cirl He loves because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor for 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 aninjals. Malone sets out for South America with Professors Summerlee nad Challenger and Lord Roxton. well-known explorer. They reach a high cliff, the outlying picket f the lost world, and climb a detached plnmjcle. the only means of ascending. For a bridge they throw a tree across the abvss which separates them from the main plateau. Their faithful Zambo has not yet crossed when their bridge goes down. Malone throws Zambo some letters, and an order for rope to take to the steamboat captain. They see numerous prehistoric animals and plants on the platen. Malone and Lord John save their comrades and soms native Indians from fierce apemen. The old Indian chief welcomes the rescuers and his returned son. The whole Indian army goes in pursuit of the ape-men and wage a successful battle against them The Indians are kind to the explorers, but good naturedly refuse to help them descend from the plateau Challenger inflates a gas bag made from the stomach of a huge animal with gas from a volcanic vent, and promises to take his comrades off tho plateau in this balloon. GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XV (Continued) Never was our expedition in more Imminent danger of complete annihilation. The inflated membrane shot up with frightful velocity into the air. In an instant Challenger was pulled off his his feet and dragged after it. I had just time to threw my arms round his ascending waist when I was myself whipped up into the air. ixvrd John had me with a rat-trap grip round the legs, hut I felt that he also was coming otf the ground. For a moment I had a vision of four adventurers floating like a string of sausages over the land that they had explored. But, happily, there were limits to the strain which the rope would stand, though none apparently to the lifting powers this infernal machine. There was a sharp crack, and we were in a heap upon the ground with coils of rope all over us. When we were, able to stagger to our feet we saw far off in the deep blue sky one dark spot where the lump of basalt was speeding upon Its way. “Splendid!’’ cried the undaunted TAKE BOTH TOGETHER t_ Milk of Magnesia and Mineral Oil Now Combined One of the most Important medical achievements of recent years is I he emu. blna’lon of milk of magnesia and mineral oil. Haley's Magnesia Oil successfully combines the two, and makes them doubly effective. The oil carries the magnesia straight tV the lower bowel, the seat of most so-called stomach troiftde. All of the antacid properties of the milk of magnesia are applied to correcting the trouble at its soirree. Poisonous acids are neutralized, clogged tracts are lubricated at one and the same time. Action is prompt, but devoid of griping. Delightful to take: no oily taste. Pan be mxled with milk and given children without their knowledge. Get a hottle of Haley's Magnesia-011 today.

Challenger, rubbing his injured arm
“A most- thorough and satisfactory demonstration! I could not have anticipated such a success. Within a week, gentlemen, I promiqg that a second balloon will be prepared, and that you can count upon taking in safety and comfort the first stage of our homeward journey.” It was on the very evening of our perilous adventure with Challenger’s horns-made balloon that the change cams in our fortunes. I have said that the one person from whom we had had some sign of sympathy in our attempts to get away was the young chief \\ hom we had rescued. He alone had no diesire to hold us against our will in a strange land. He had told as much by his expressive language of signs. That evening after dusk he came down to our little camp, handed me a small roll off the bark of a tree, and then pointing solemnly up at the row of caves above him, he bad put his' finger to his lips as a sign of secrecy and had stolen back again to his people. I took the slip of bar)< to the firelight and we examined it to gether. It was about a foot square and on the inner side there was a singular arrangement of lines. They were neatly done in charcoal upon the white surface and looked to me at first sight like some sort of a rough musical score. “Whatever it is, I can swear that it is of importance to us,” said I. “I could read that on his face as lie gave it.” “It is clearly some sort of script,” said Challenger. "IBooks like a guinea puzzle corn petition,” remarked Lord John, craning his neck to have a look at it. Then suddenly he stretched out his hand and seized the puzle. “By George!” he cried* “I believe I’ve got it. The boy guessed right the very first time. See here! How manv marks are on that paper? Eighteen. Weil, if you come to think of It there are eighteen cave openings on the hill-side above us.” He pointed up to the caves when he gave it to me,” said I. “Well, that settles it. This is a chart of the caves. What! Eighteen of them, all in a row, some short, some deep, some branching, same as we saw them. It’s a map, and I here's a cross on it. What’s the cross for? It is placed to mark one that is much deeper than the others.” “One that goes through,” I cried. "T believe our young friend has read the riddle.” said Challenger. “If the cave does not go through I do not understand why this person, who has every reason to mean us well, should have drawn our attention to it. .But if it does go through ard comes out at the corresponding i point on the other side, we should not have more than a hundred feet to descend,” “A hundred feet!” grumbled Sutnmeclee. “Well, our rope it still more than a hundred feet long,” I cried. “Surely we could get down.” “How about the Indians in tho cave?” Summerlee objected. “There are no Indians in any of the caves above our heads,” said T. "They are alt used as bams and storehouses. Why should we not go up now at once and spy out the land?”’ There is a dry bituminous wood upon ihe plateau—a species of 1 araucaria, according to our botanist—which is always used by the Indians for torches. Each of us picked up a faggot of this, and we made our way up weed-covered steps to the particular cave which was marked in the drawing. It was, as I had said, empty, save for a great number of enormous bats ' which flapped round our heads as ! we advanced into It. As we had no desire to draw the attention of the Indians to our proceedings, we stumbled along in the dark until we had gone round several curves and penerated a considerable dis tance into the cavern. Then, at last, we lit our torches. It was a beautiful dry tunnel with smooth gray walls covered with native symbols, a curved roof which arched over our heads, and white glistening sand beneath our feet. We hurried eagerly along it until, with a deep groan of bitter disappointment, we were brought to a halt. A sheer wall of rock had appeared before us. with no chink through which a mouse could have slipped. There was no escape for us there. We stood with bitter hearts staring nt this unexpected obstacle It was not the result of any convulsion, ns in the case of the ascending tun-’ nel. The end wall was exactly like the side ones. It was. and had al ways been, a cul-de-sac. "Never mind, my friends,” sain ! the indomitable Challenger. “You ! have still my firm promise of a bal loon ” Summerlee groaned. “Can we be in the wrong cave?” I suggested. “No use, young fellah,” said Txird Johq, with his finger on the chart. "Seventeen from the right and second from the left. This is the cave sure enough." T looked at the mark to which his finger pointed, and I gave a sudden cry of joy. “I believe I have it! Follow me! Follow me!” I hurried back along the way we had come, my torch in my hand. “Here,” said I, pointing to some matches upon the ground, “is where wo lit up.” “Exactly.” “Well, it Js marked as a forked cave, and in the darkness we passed tiie fork before the torches were lit. On the fight side as we go out we should find the longer arm." It was as T had said. We had not gone thirty yrirds before a great black opening loomed in tlie wall. We turned into it to find that we were in a much larger passage than before. Along it we hurried in breathless impatience for many of yards. Then, suddenly, in the black darkness of the arch In front of us we sawa gleam of dark red light. Copyright, 1912, by A. Conan Doyle. (To be continued)
