GO ON WITH TIIE STORY CHAPTER XVl—Continued "It was at this point that the sensation of the evening arose—a sensation so dramatic that it can never have been uparalleled in the history of scientific gathering*. Professor Challenger raised hiß hand in the lie as a signal and at once our oole&gue, Mr. E. D. Malone, was oberved to rise and to make his way o the back of the platform. An nstant late rhe reappeared in comany with a gigantic negro, the two ot them bearing between them a urge packing case. It was ■videmtly of great weight and was .slowly carried forward and placed in front of the Professor's chair. All sound had hushed in the audience and everyone was absorbed in the spectacle before them. Professor (Challenger drew off the top of the case, which formed a sliding lid. Peering down into the box he snapped his fingers several times and was heard from the press seat :o say,‘‘Come, then, pretty, pretty!’ ni a coaxing voice. An instant later, with a scratching, ra'ttling sound, a most horrible and loathsome creature .’ipeared from below and perched self upon the side of the case. ’lvon the unexpected fall of the Hike of Durham, into the orchestra which occurred at this moment. • ould not distract the petrified at- ; intion of the vast audience. The face of the creature was like the wildest gargoyle that the imagination of a mad medieval builder could have conceived. It was malicious, ' orrlble, with two small red eyes as ’■right as points of burning coal. Its ong, savage mouth, which was held half-open, was full of a double-row jt shark-like teeth. Its shoulders were humped, and round them were draped what appeared to be a fad ml All Fat People Should Know This Pat people owe a debt of gratitude to the discoverer of the now turnout Mur mola Prescription.

RELIEVED FROM BILIOUS SPELLS Texan Telle Hov r Thedforrf s BlackDraught Has Given Satisfaction for Many Years

Mr. A. F. Flippin. of Alief. Texas, tells an Interesting story about. Thedford's Black-Draught, based on his own long experience in (he use of that well known liver medicine. “I don’t believe T can remember Lh# time when we didn’t hse BlackDraught,” says Mr. Flippin. ”My father and mother kept it and gave it to us when we were children. It was considered a family medicine. "What was more natural than to Still keep it when I was married and had a home of my own. And now I have grandchildren and am still taking Black-Draught when I need a liver medicine or purgative, and it has given satisfaction all these years. I haven't seen any use in changing. "T have spells of biliousness, dull headache and don't feel much good. I take a few doses of Black-Draught and get all right, r take it for colds, also for constipation, and I can say I have never had it fail me.” Black-DVaught Is not some new, untried experiment. In hundreds of homes like that of Mr. Flippln’s it has been thoroughly tested by generations of use, and its value is shown by the fact that these families continue to use BlackDraught after this experience of years. Black-Draught has been In use for over *0 years and a million packages are now sold each month. Try it.

gtay shiawl. It was the devil of our childhood in person. There was a turmoil In the audience —spme one screamed, two ladles in the front row fell senseless from their chairs, and there was a general movement upon the platform to follow their chairman Into the orchestra. For a moment there wa* danger of a general panic. Professor Challenger threw up hfs hands to still the commotion, but the movement alarmed the creature beside him. Its strange shawl suddenly unfurled, spread and fluttered as a pair of leathery wings. Its owner grabbed at Its legs, but too late to hold It. It had sprung from the perch and was circling slowly round the Queen's Hall with a dry. leathery flapping of its ten-foot wings, while a putrid and Insidious odor pervaded the room. The cries of the people in the galleries, who were alarmed at the near approach of those glowing eyes and that murderous beak, excited the creature to a frenzy. Faster and faster it flew, beating against walls and chandeliers In a blind frenzy of alarm. “The window'! For heaven’s sake shut that window!’ roared the Professor from the platform, dancing and wringing his hands In an agony of apprehension. Alas, his warning was too late! In a moment the creature, beating and bumping along the wall like a huge moth within a gas-shade, came upon the opening, squeezed its hideous bulk through It, and was gone. Professor Challenger fell back Into his chair with his face buried In his hands, while the audience gave one long, deep sigh of relief as they real'ited that the Incident was over. "Then—oh! how shall one describe what took place then—when the full exuberance of the majority and the full reaction of the-, minorityunited to make one. great wave of enthusiasm, which rolled from the back of the hall, gathering volume as it came, swept over the orchestra, submerged the platform and carried the four heroes‘away upon its crest?” (Good for you, Mac!) “If the audience had done less than justice, surely it made ample amends. Every one was on his reet. Every one was moving, shouting, gesticulating. A dense crowd or cheering men w'ere round the Tour travelers. "Up with them! Up with them!” cried a hundred voices, in a moment four figures shot up hove the crowd. In vain they strove to break loose. They were held in their lofty places of honor. It would have been hard to let down If it had been washed, so dense was the crowd round them. “Regent Street! Regent Street!" sounded the voices. There was a swirl in the packed multitude, and a slow current, bearing the four upon their Mioumers, made for the door. Out in trie street the scene was extraordinary. An assemblage of not less than a hundred thousand people was waiting. The close-packed throng extended from the other side of the Langham Hotel to Oxford Circus. A roar of acclamation greeted the four adventurers as they appeared, high above the heads of the people, under the vivid elec trie lamps outside the hall. 'A procession! A procession!’ was the cry. In a, dense phalanx, blocking the streets from side to side, the crowd set forth, taking the route of Regent Street, Pall Mall, St. James Street, and Picadilly, The whole central traffic of London was held up. and many collisions were reported between the demonstrators upon the one side and the police and taxlca.bmen upon the other. Finally. It was not until after midnight that the four travelers were released at the entrance to Lord John Roxton's chambers In the Albany, and that the exuherarg crowd, having rang, ‘They Are Jolly Good Follows’ In chorus, concluded their program with ‘God Save the King.' So ended one of the most remarkable evening that London has seen for a. consider , time.”

Sc far my friend Macdona; an-’ It may be taken as a fairly accu rate. If florid, account of the proceedings. As to the main Incident, it tvns a bewildering surprise to the audience, but not, T need hard ly say, to us. The reader will remember how T met Lc.d ->hn Rox ton upon the very occssion when, in his protective crinoline, he had gone to bring the “Devil’s chick,” aa he called it, for Professor Challenger. I have hinted also at the trouble which the Professor’s baggage gave us when we left the plateau. 'and "had l described our voyage I might, have said a good deal of the worry we had to coax with putrid fish the appetite of our filthy companion. If l have no! said much about it before, it was. of course, that, the Professor's ear nest desire was that no possible rumor of the unanswerable argument which we carried should be allowed to leak out until the moment came when his enemies were to be confuted. One word as to the fate of the Dondon pterodactyl. Nothing can be said to be certain upon this point. There, Is the evidence of two frightened women that It perched upon the roof of the Queen's Hall and remained there like a diabolical statue for some hours. The next day it came out In the evening papers that. Private Miles, of the Coldstream Guards, on duty outside Marlborough House, had deserted his post without leave, and was therefore court-martialed. Private Miles' account, that he dropped his rifle and took to his heels down the Mall because on looking up he had suddenly seen the devil between him and the moon, was not accepted by the court, and yet it may have a direct bearing upon the point at issue. The only other evidence which I can adduce is from the log of the SS. Friesland, a Dutoh-Amertcart liner, which asserts that at nine next n oming. Start Foitn being at the time ten miles upon their -tarboard quarter, they were passed by something between a flying goat and a monstrous bat. which was lieading at a prodigious pace south md west. If its homing instinct led it upon the right line, there can be no doubt that* somewhere out in the wastes of the Atlantic the last European pterodactyl found its end.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Weekly Book Review Martha Blooms Like a Rose and Marries a Preacher

By Walter I>. Hickman 1' IKE a rose was .Martha FenI wick when she was eighteen. And the rose was picked by a young English minister. Into a ministerial garden, this rose of a Martha was placed by John Crawford. Tjife's water was turned upon ■’Rose-Martha.'* The wind of the seasons played upon her as did the sunshine. Martha started out like a wonderful rose and wiien the mantle of life’s snow spread itself over this rose, Martha was still a wonderful rose. Not the same rose when she was in the garden of early youth at the home -of her parents but a sweet, wonderful, understanding rose with some of its petals turned to pure snow in dor. That was Martha. This rose had spread its sweet perfume over a troubled English village. -Its seen' will linger for munity although the rose now sleeps in a cemetary. Martha's sister. Susan, married one of those self-satisfied intellectual men who wrote smart poetry and attempted to say even smarter things. When the world war came, this poet turned his wise remarks toward an attempt to interfere with those who would fight, but he was so feeble and weak in his efforts that the English government paid no attention to him. So the poet remained Just the little poet. But not so with Martha and the Rev. Crawford. These two lived up to the great duty, both to their country and to their Ideals. They saw a son put a glorious finale to a life that had been a struggle but this lad, a real chap, was com Ing out right when the summons of death arrived.

come impatient of May Sinclair, but those who look at like as it exists on the ground and then look up to the sky with its sunshine, rain, clouds and snow—her picture will ring true. Life is not consistent because it is life. When life is put down on the printed page as a reality and not a dream, one has a better appreciation of the battle that all people have. If you want to know men and women a little better, to understand the plan of life of the Maker, then you will recognir-e that ‘The Rector of Wyck” has pictured an actual slice of life.
