THE LOST WORLD By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

SYNOPSIS Malone, a London newspaper -reporter. rejected by the girl he loves because he has no heroic deeds to his credit, appeals to his editor lor a dangerous assignment, and is sent to interview Professor Challenger, who has recently returned irom South America with a story of the existence there of prehistoric animals. Malones 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, 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 writes of their experiences with prehistoric animals and .throws the letters across to Zambo to take to the steamboat captain. After many hardships, a young Indian chief helps them escape through a secret cave. On their return to England the professors described the wonders of the Lost World to a vast audience.

CHAPTER XVI (Concluded) And Gladys—oh. my Gladys of the mystic lake, now to be renamed the Central, for never shall she have immortality through me. Did I not always see some hard fiber In her nature? Did I not .event at the time when I was proud to obey her behest, feel that it was surely a poor love which could drive a lover to his death or the danger of it? Did I not, in my truest thoughts, always recurring and always dismissed, see past the beauty of the face, and, peering into the soul, discern the twin shadows of selfishness and of fickleness glooming at the hack of it? Did she love the heroic and the spectacular for its own noble sake, or was it for the glory which might, without effort or sacrifice, be reflected upon herself? Or are these thoughts the vain wisdom which comes after the event!? Tt was the shock of my life. For a moment it had turned me to a cynic. But already, as I write, a week has passed, and we haVe had our momentous interview with Lord John Roxton* and—well, perhaps things might be worse. Let me tell it in a few words. No letter or telegram had come to me at Southampton, and I reached the little villa at Streatham about 10 o’clock that night in a fever of alarm. Was she dead or altve?

Mr. Gluck Now 76 Years Old

Had Gas Fermentation and Constipation

"I am 76 ypars old and was suffering from auto-intoxication in its worst form, brought on by constipation. My wife found out about Adlerika and the first dose helped me.” (Signed) Louis S. Gluck. Intestinal Evacmant There is now offered to the public a preparation which is not only a wonderfully effective and QUICK intestinal evacuant, but which also seems to stimulate the glands of the intestinal tract and to cause expulsion of flatus (GAS). This preparation, known as Adlerika, is a valuable agent for the purpose of cleansing the bowels of matter which has been in the system a long time, and which other less effective means have been unable to dislodge. Tr is often astonishing the great amount of matter Adlerika draws from the Intestinal canal —even right after a natural movement it sometimes brings out unsuspected quantities of additional matter. Many times it brings out much GAS, thus relieving pressure in the abdomen. Adlerika is especially valuable when PROMPT action la necessary or to encourage the .elimination of metabolic poisons through thd bowel. la slight disorders such at occasional

Where were all my nightly dreams of the open arms, the smiling face, the words of praise for her man who had risked his life to humor her whim? Alf’eady I was down\Jfrom the high peaks and standing flatfooted upon earth. Vet some good reason given might still lift me to the clouds once more. I rushed down the garden path, hammered at the door, heard the voice of Gladys within, pushed past the staring maid, and strode into the sitting room. She was seated in s. low settee under the shaded standard lamp by the piano. In three steps I was aerdss the room and had both her hands in mine. “Gladys!” I cried, ‘‘Gladys;” She looked up with amazement in her face, She was altered in some subtle way. The expression of her eyes, the hard upward stare, the set of her lips, was new to me. She drew back hfer hands. “What do you mean?” she said. "Gladys!” I cried. “What is the matter? You are my Gladys, are you not —little Gladys Ilungerton?” “No,” said she, d 'l am Gladys Potts. Let me introdee you to my husband.” How absurd life is! I found myself mechanically bowing and shaking hands with a little ginger-haired man who was coiled up in the deep arm-chair which had once been sacred to my own use. We bobbed and grinned in front of each other. “Father lets us stay *here. We are getting our house ready,” said Gladys. “Oh, yes,” said I. "You didn't get my letter at Para, then?" "No, I got no letter.” “Oh. what a pity! It would have made all clear.” "It is quite clear,” said I. “I’ve told William all about you," said she. “We have no secrets. I am so sorry about it. But it couldn’t have been so very deep, could it. if you could go off to the other end of the world and leave me here alone. You're not crabby, are you?” “No, no, not at all. I think I’ll sro.” “Have some refreshment,” said the little man, and he added, in a confidential way. “It's always like this, ain’t it? And must be unless you had polygamy, only the other way round: you undertsand.” He laughed like an idiot, while I made for the door. I was through it. when a sudden fantastic impulse came upon me, and I went back to my successful rival, who looked nervously at the electric push. “Will you answer a question?" I asked. "Well, within reason,” said he. “How did you do it? Have you searched for hidden treasure, or discovered a pole, or done tithe on a pirate, or flown the Channel, or what? Wnere is the glamour of romance? How did you get it?” He stored at me with a hopeless expression upon his vacuous, goodnatured, scrubby little face. “Don’t you think all this Is a little too personal?” he saaid. "Well, just one question," I cried. “What are you? What is your profession?” “I am a solicitor’s clerk,” said he. “Second man at Johnson and Merivale’s, 41 Chancery Lane.” “Good-night!” said I, and vanished, like all disconsolate and broken-hearted heroes, into the darkness, with grief and rage and laughter all simmering within me like a boiling pot. One more little scene and T have done. Last night we all supped at Lord John Roxton's rooms, 'and sitting together afterwards we smoked in good comradeship and talked our adventures over. It was strange under these altered surroundings to see the old wollfltnown faces and figures. There was Challenger, witn his smile of condescension, his drooping eyelids, his intolerept eyes, his aggressive beard, his huge chest, swelling and puffing as he laid down the law to Summerlee. And Summerlee, too, there he was with his short briar between his thin moustache and his goat’s-beard, his worn face protruded in eager debate, ns he queried all Challenger's propositions. Finally, there was our host, with his rugged, eagle face, and his cold, blue, glacier eyes with always a shimmer of devilment and of humor down In the depth of them. Such Is the last picture of them that I have carried away. It was after supper, In his own sanctum the room of the pink radiance and the innumerable trophels —that Lord John Roxton lad something to say to us. From a cubboard he had brought out an old cigar-box, and this he laid before him on the table. “There’s one thing.” said he, “that maybe I should have spoken about before this, but T wanted to know a little more clearly where I was. No use to raise hopes and let them down again. But it’s facts, not hopes, with us now. You may remember that day we found the pterodactyl rookery In the swamp—what? Well, somethin’ in the lie of the land took my notice. Per-

constipation or gas on the stomach and headache (when due to bowel inaction), a singe spoonful of Adlerika often produces surprising and gratifying results. In cases of obstinate constipation or stomach trouble, if Adlerika does not bring relief in 24 to 36 hours the advice of a reputable physician should be secured. Reports from Physicians “I congratulate you on the good effect from Adlerika since I prescribed it.” (Signed) Dr. L. Langlols. "Adlerika is the best in my entire 37 years' experience.” (Signed) Dr. G. Eggers. ‘I prescribed Adlerika with highly satisfactory results." i Signed i Dr. A. C. C.

haps it has escaped you, so I will tell you. It was a volcanic vent full of blue clay." The Professors nodded. . "Well, now, in the whole world I’ve only had to do with one place that was a volcanic vent of blue clay. Hhat was the great De Beers Diamond Mine of Kimberley—w'hat? So you see I got diamonds into my head. I rigged up a contraption to hold of? those stinkifig beasts, and I spent a happy day there with* a spud. This is what 1 got.” He opened his cigar box and tilting it over he poured out about twenty or thirty rough stones, varying from the size of beans to that of chestnuts, on the table. “Perhaps you think I should have told you then. Well, so I should, only I know there are a lot of traps for the unwary, and that stones may be of any size and yet of little value where color and consistence are clean off. Therefore. I brought them back, and on the first day at home I took one around to Spink’s and asked him to have it roughly cut and valued.” He took a pill box from his pocket and spilled out of It ab .utlful glittering diamond, one of the finest stones that I have ever seen. “There’s the result,” said N. “He prices the lot at a minimum of two hundred thousand pounds. Os course It Is fair shares between us. I won’t hear of anythin’ else. Well, Challenger, what will you do with your fifty thousand?" "If you really persist In your generous view,” said the Professor, "I should found a private museum, which has long been one of my dreams.”

"And you, Summerlee?” s "I would retire from teaching, and so find time for may final classification of the chalk fossils.” - ‘‘l’ll use my own,” said Lord John Roxton, “in fitting a wellformed expedition and having another look at the dear old plateau As to you, young fellah, you, of course, will spend your In gettln' married.” “Not just yet,” said I, with a rue ful smile, “I think, if you will have me, that I would rather go with you.” Lord Roxton said nothing, but a orown hand was stretched out to me across the table.

G.B.S. TAKES FLING AT DANCE Doughty Old Shavian Finds Competent Teacher. Bu Timrt Special LONDON, April 15.—George Bernard Shaw, believes all schools should abolished, but he has Just returned from Madeira with the announcement that he found someone there who could teach him something. Michael RJnder was the person who added to the Shavian store of knowledge. Michael is a dancing master and Shaw, while at Madeira, decided to njaster the art. "He applied his precise mind as well as his feet to the task of learning how to tango,” Michael said of his pupil, “and his trained mind not only surmounted the difficulties of Vi study absolutely new to him, but also grasped at once the possibilities of Ills fresh achievement. He was my most apt pupil.” When Shaw left Madeira he gave Michael a card Inscribed: “The only man In Madeira who could teach me anything."
