One fnct we had very speedily dis

In every other way they were our

from them thongs of leather or liana to

were met by a good humored but an
Juvlnclble refusal. They would smile,
twinkle their eyes, shake their heads,
and there -was the end of It Even tire
old chief met us With tho same obsti
nate denial, and It was only Maretas.
tho youngster whom we had saved,
who looked wIh! fully at us and told us
by his gestures that he was grieved
f-,r our thwarted wishes. Ever since
llielr crowning triumph with the ape
wen they looked upon us as supermen,
who bore victory In the tubes of strange
weapons, and they believed that so
long as we remained will) them good
fortune would bo theirs. A little red
skinned wife and a cave of our own
were freely offered to each of us If we
would but forget our own people and
dwell forever upon the plateau. So
fur all had been kindly, however far
opart our desires might be, but we felt
well assured that our actual plans of
n descent uiust be kept secret, for we
lul l reason to fear that at the last they
might try to bold us by force.
In spite of the danger from dlno
H'iui'8 (which is nut great save at night,
for, ns I may have said before, they
urn mostly nocturnal lit their habits),
I have twice in the last three weeks
been over to our old camp In order to

wandering on through the wood with
bis extraordinary cage around blm.
It was on the evening of a perilous
adventure In a homemade balloon of
Challenger's, In which we all nearly
lost our lives, that a change came in
our fortunes. I have said that the one
person from whom we bad had some
sign of sympathy In our attempts to
get away was the young chief whom
we had rescued. He alone bad no de
slro to bold us against our will in a
strange land. He bad told us as much
by his expressive language of signs.
That evening after dusk he came down
to our little camp, banded me (for
some renson he had always shown bis
attentions to me, perhaps because 1
was the ono who was nearest bis age)
a small roll of the bark of a tree, and
then, pointing solemnly up at the row
of caves above him, be had put his
finger to his Hps as a sign of secrecy
and had stolen back again to his peo
ple. I took the slip of bark to the fire
light and we examined it together. It
was about a foot square, and on the
Inner side there was a singular ar
rangement of lines, which I here re
produce: ;
it Li i .Mi iiiljiii
They were neatly done In charcoal
upon tbo whlto surface and looked to
me at first sight like some sort of
rough musical score.
Whatever It Is, I can swear that it
Is of Importance to us," said I. "I
could read tliut ou his face as he
gave it."
'Unless we have come upon a primi
tive practical Joker," Siimmerlee sug
gested, "which I should think would
be ono of the'most elementary devel
opments of man."
It Is clearly some sort of script,
said Challenger.
"Looks like a guinea puzzle compe
tition," remarked Lord John, craning
his neck to have a look at It Then
suddenly he si retched out his band and
seized tho puzzle.

I've got 111 The boy guessed right the
very first time. See here! How mnny
marks are on that paper? Eighteen.
Well, If you come Jo think of it, there
are eighteen cave openings on the hill
side above us."
"He pointed up to the caves when he
gave It lo me," said I.
"Well, that settles It This Is a
chart of the eaves. Whatl Eighteen

deep, some branching, same as we saw
them. It's a map, a Ml here's n cross

er than the others." 1
"One that goes through!" I cried.
"I believe our young friend has read
tho riddle," said Challenger. "If the
cave does not go through I do not un
derstand why this person, who baa
every reason to mean us well, should
havo drawn our attention to It But
If It does go through and comes out at
the corresponding point ou tho other
side wo Rhould not have more than a
hundred feet to descend."
'A hundred feet!" grumbled Sum
met lee.
'Well, our rope Is still more than a
hundred feet long!" I cried. "Surely
wo could get down."
'How about the Indian In the
cave?" Summerlee objected.
'There are no Indians In any of the
caves ubovo our beads," suld U "They
are all used as bam and storehouse.
Why should we not go up now at once
and spy out the laud?"
CHAPTER XXI.
An Opaning In th Cava.
TI1I0HK ts a dry bituminous wood
uion the plateau a specie Of
araucarla, according to our
uuiHiiwi wuicu is aiwaya ueu
by the Iudlaus for torches. Each of
us picked up a faggot of this, and we
mado our way up weed covered steps
to the particular cave which was mark
ed In the drawing. It was, a I bad
said, empty, save for a great number
of enormous hats, which flapped round
our heads a 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 pen
etrated a considerable distance Into the
cavern. Then, at last, we lit our
torches. It was a beautiful dry tunnel
with smooth gray walls covered with
untlvo symbols, a curved roof which
arched over our heads, and white glis
tening sand beneath our feet. We hur
ried eagerly along It until, with a deep
groan of bitter disappointment, wo
were brought to a bal' , A sheer wall
of rock bad appeared before us, with
no chink through which a mouse could
have dipped. There was no escape for
ns there.
We stood with bitter hearts staring
at this unexpected obstacle. It was
not the result of any convulsion, as la
the case of the ascending tunnel. The
end wall was exactly like the side ones.
It was, and had always been, a cul de
aac.
"Never mind, my friends," said the
indomitable Challenger. "You bare
till my firm promise of a balloon."
Summerlee groaned.
"Can we be In the wrong cave?" I
mggested.
"No use, young fellah," said Lord
John, with bis finger on the chart
"Th moon, by Gaorso!" eried Lord
John.
"Seventeen from the right and second
from the left This Is the cave, sure
enough."
I looked at the mark to which his
finger pointed, aud I gave a sudden
cry of Joy.
"I believe I have it! Follow me, fol
low me!"
I hurried back along the way we had
come, my torch in my hand. "Here,"
suld I, pointing to some matches upon
the ground, "Is where we lit up."
"Exactly."
"Well, It Is marked ns a forked cave,
and In the darkness we passed tho fork
before the torches were lit On the
right side as we go out we should find
the longer arm."
It was as I bad said. We had not
gone thirty yards before a great black
opening loomed in the wall. We turn
ed into it to find that we were In a
much larger passage than before. Along
It we hurried In breathless Impatience
for many hundreds of 'yards. Then
suddenly, In the black durkness of the
arch in front of us, we suw a gleam of
dark red light We stared lu amaze
ment A sheet of steady flame seemed
to cross the passage und to bar our
way. Wo hastened toward It. No
sound, no beat, no movement came
from it, but still the great luminous
curtain glowed before us, silvering all
the cave and turning the sand to pow
dered Jewels, until as we drew closer
It discovered a circular edge.
"The moon, by George!" cried Lord
John. "We are through, boysl We aro
through!"
It was indeed the full moon which
shone straight down the aperture which
opened upon the cliffs. It was a small
rift, not larger than a window, but It
was enough for all our purposes. As
we craned our necks through It we
could see that the descent was not a
very difficult one and that the level
ground was no very great way below
us. It was no wonder that from below
we had not observed the place, as the
cliffs curved overhead and an ascent
at the Bpot would havo seemed so Im
possible as to discourage closo Inspec
tion. We satisfied ourselves that with
the help of our rope we could find our
way down, and then returned, rejoic
ing, to our camp to make our prepare
tlons for the next evening.
What we did we had to do quickly
and secretly, since even at this last
hour the Indians might hold us back.
Our stores we would leavo behind us.
save only our guns and cartridges. But
Challenger had some unwieldy stuff
which he ardently desired to take with
him, and one particular package, of
which I may not sjieak, which cave us
more labor than any. Slowly the day
passed, but when the darkness fell we
were ready for our departure. With
much labor we got our things up the
steps aud then, looking back, took one
last, long survey of that strange land,
soon, I fear, to bo vulgarized, the prey
of hunter aud prospector, but to each
of us a dreamland of glamor and ro
mance, a land where we IihTI dared
much, suffered much and learned
much our land, as we shall ever fond
ly call It, Along upon our left the
neighboring raves each threw out Ha
ruddy, cheery firelight Into the gloom.
Prom the aloiie below us rose the
voices of the Indian a they laughed
and sang. Beyond wa tho long sweep
of the woods, and In the center, ahlin
niering vaguely through the gloom,
was the great lake, the mother of
t range monsters. Even as we looked
a high whickering cry, the call of
some welid animal, rang clear out of
the darkness. It was the very voice of
Maple White Land bidding us goudby.
We turued aud plunged Into the cave
which led to home.
Two hours later we, our packages
and all we owued were at the foot of
the clllT. Save for Challenger's lug
gage we bad nover a difficulty. Leav
ing It all where we descended, we
started at once for Zambo's camp. In
the early morning we approached It
but only to Bud, to our ainaxenient, not
one fire, but a doieu upon the plain. Tho
rescue party had arrived. There were
twenty Indlaus from the river, wltb
stakes, ropes and all that could be
.VJ li
useful for bridging the chasm. At least
we shall have no difficulty now In car
rying our packages when tomorrow
we begin to make our way back to the
Amazon.
The excitement which bad been
caused through those parts of South
America which we had to traverse
was imagined by us to be purely local,
and I can assure onr friends in Eng
land that we bad no notion of the up
roar which the mere rumor of our ex
periences bad caused through Europe.
It was not until the Ivernla was within
600 miles of Southampton that the
wireless messages from paper after pa
per and agency after agency, offering
huge prices for a short return message
as to our actual results, snoweu us
how strained was the attention not
only of the scientific world, but of the
general public. It was agreed among
us, however. that no definite state
ment should be given to the press un
til we had met the members of the
Zoological institute, since as delegates
It was our clear duty to give our first
report to the body from which we had
received our commission of Investiga
tion. Thus, although we found South
ampton full of press men, we absolute
ly -refused to give any Information,
which had the natural effect or focus
ing public attention upon the meeting,
which was advertised for the evening
of Nov. 7. For this gathering the Zoo
logical hall, which bad been the scene
of the Inception of our. task, was found
to lie far too small, and It was only In
the Queen's hall, In Kegent street, that
accommodation could be found, it is
now common knowledge the promoters
might havo ventured upon the Albert
ball and still found their space too
scanty.
It was for tho second evening after
our arrival that tho great meeting had
been fixed. For the first we had each,
uo doubt our own pressing personal
affairs to absorb us. Of mine I cannot
yet speak. It may be that as it stands
further from me I may think or it
and even speak of it with less emotion.
I have shown the reader in the begin-
ulng of tbls narrative where lay the
springs of my action. It is but right.
perhaps, that I should carry on the
tale and show ulso the results. And
yet the day inay come when I .would
not have It otherwise. At least I have
been driven forth to take part In a
wondrous adventure, and I cannot but
be thankful to the force that drove me.
And now I turn to the last supreme
eventful moment of our adventure. As
I was racking my brain as to how I
should best describe 'It my eyes fell
upon tho Issue of my own Journal for
the morning, of the 8th of November
with tho full and excellent account of
my friend and fellow reporter Mac-
dona. What can I do better than trau
crlbe hla. narrative, headlines and all?
I admit that the paper was exuberant
In the matter, out of compliment to Its
own enterprise In sending a corre
spondent, but tlitf other great dallies
were hardly less full In their account.
Thus, then, friend Mac in his report:

EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENT.

STREET.
Sprclnl.
"The much discussed meeting of the
Zoological institute, convened to hear
the report of the committee of Investi
gation sent out lust year to South
America to test the assertions made by
Professor Challenger as to the contin
ued existence of prehistoric life upou
that continent, was held last night lu
the greater Queen' ball, nud It is safe
to say that It Is likely to be a red letter
date In the history of. science, for the
proceedings were of so remarkable and
aensatlunal a character that no one
present la ever likely to forget them."
(Ob, brother scribe Macdona, what a
monstrous opening sentence!) "The
tickets were theoretically confined to
members aud their friends, but the lat
ter Is an elastic term, and long before
8 o'clock, the hour fixed for the com
mencement of the proceedings, all parts
of the great hall were tightly packed.
The general public, however, which
most unreasonably entertained a griev
ance at having been excluded, stormed
the doors at a quarter to eight after n
prolonged melee lu which several peo
ple were Injured, Including Inspector
Scoble of H division, whose leg was
unfortunately broken. After this un
warrantable Invasion, which not only
filled every passage, but even Intruded
uKn the space set apart for the press,
It Is estimated that nearly 5,000 people
awaited the arrival of the travelers.
When they eventually .appeared they
took their places in the front of a plat
form .which already coutalned all the
leading scientific men, imt only of this
country, but of France aud of Ger
many. Sweden was also represented
in the person of I'rofessor Serglus, the
ramoua ftoologlst of the University of
Upsala.
CHAPTER XXII.
A Wendsrful Damonatration.
T
UK entrance of the four heroes
of the occasion was thesigual
fur a remarkable demoustra-
"Uon of welcome, the whole
audience rising and cheering for some
minutes. An . acute observer might,
however,' have detected some slgus of
dissent amid the applause and gath
ered that the proceedings were likely
to become more lively than harmoni
ous. It may safely be prophesied, how
ever, that no one could have foreseen
the extraordinary turn which they
were actually to take.'
"Of the appearance or the four wan
derers little need b said, since their
photograph have for some time been
appearing In all the papers. They
bear few traces of the hardships which
they are said to have undergone. , Pro
fesior Challenger's beard may be more
baggy, Professor Summerlee's fea
tures more ascetic. Lord John Bolton's
figure more gaunt, and all three may
be burned to a darker tint than when
they left our shores, but each appear
ed to be in moat excellent health. ' Aa
to our own representative, the well
known athlete and international Rug
by football player, E. D. Malone, he
look trained to a hair, and as he
surveyed the crowd a smile of good
humored contentment pervaded his
honest but homely face." (All right '
Mac, wait till I get you alone!)
"When quiet bad been restored and
the audience resumed their seats after
the ovation which they had given to
the travelers the chairman, the Duke
of Durham, addressed the meeting.
'He would not,' he said, 'stand for more
than a moment between that vast as
sembly and the treat which lay before
them. It was not for him to anticipate
what Professor Summerlee, who was
the spokesman of the committee, had
to say to them, but It was common ru
mor that their expedition had been
crowned by extraordinary success.'
(Applause.)
"Professor Summerlee's rising was
the signal for another extraordinary
outbreak of enthusiasm, which broke
out again at Intervals throughout bis
address. Having described the genesis
of their Journey and paid a handsome
tribute to his friend, Professor Chal
lenger, coupled with an apology for the
Incredulity with which his assertions,
now fully vindicated, had been receiv
ed, be gave the actual course of their
Journey, carefully withholding such in
formation fis would aid the pnbllc In
any attempt to locate this remarkable
plateau. Having described In general
terms their course from the main river
up to the time that they actually reach
ed the base of the cliffs, he entbrulled
his bearers by his account of the diffi
culties encountered by the expedition
In their repeated attempts to mount
them aud finally described bow they
succeeded in their-despcrato endeavors.
"Ono had to pinch oneself to be sure
that one was awake as one heard this
sane nnd practical professor In cold,
measured tones describing the mon
strous three eyed 'fish lizards and the
huge water snakes which Inhabit an
enchanted sheet of water. Next he
touched upon the Indians and upon the
extraordinary colony of anthropoid
apes, which might be looked upon as
an advance upon the pithecanthropus
of Java and as coming, therefore, near
er than any known form to that hy
pothetical creation the missing link.
Finally ho described, amid some mer
riment, the Ingenious but highly dan
gerous aeronautic Invention of Pro
fessor Challenger and wound up a
most memorable address by an ac
count of the methods by which the
committee did at last find its way back
to civilization.
"It had been hoped that the proceed
ings would end there and that a vote
of thanks and congratulation moved
by Professor Serglus of TJpsala uni
versity would be duly seconded and
carried. But It was soon evident that
the course of events was not destined
to flow so smoothly. Symptoms of op-
"Attempt war made to pull him
down."
position had been evident from time to
time during the evening, and now Dr.
Jumes Illingworth of Edinburgh rose
lu the center of the ball. Dr. Illing
worth asked whether an amendment
should not be taken before a resolution.
"Dr. Illingworth was Imperfectly
heard in part of bis remarks on ac
count of the strenuous opposition of
the friends of the explorers. Some at
tempts were also made to pull him
down. Being a man of enormous
pliybln.no, however, and possessed of a
very powerful voice, he dominated the
tumult and succeeded iu finishing bis
speech. ,
"Dr. Illingworth began his remarks
ky expressing bis high appreciation of
the ecleutlilc work both of Professor
Challenger and of Professor Summer
lee. He much regretted that any per
sonal bias should have been read Into
bis remarks, which were entirely dic
tated by his desire for scientific truth.
His position, In fact, was substantially
the same as that taken up by Pro
fessor Summerlee at the last meeting.
At that last meeting Professor Chal
lenger bad made certain assertions
which had been queried by bis col
league. Now this colleague came for
ward himself with the same assertions
and expected them to remain unques
tioned. Was this reasonable? ('Yes,'
'No,' and prolonged interruption, dur
ing which Professor Challenger wa
heard from the press box to ask leave
from the chairman to put Dr. Uling
wortb Into the street.) A year ago one
man said certain things. Now four
men said other and more startling
ones. - Was this to constitute a final
proof where the matters in question
were of the most revolutionary and in
credible character? There had been
recent examples of travelers arriving
from the unknown with certain tales
which had been too readily accepted
Was the London Zoological institute to
place Itself In tbls position? He ad
mitted that the members of the com.
mlttee were men of character. But hu
man nature was very complex. Even
professors might be misled by the de
sire for notoriety. Like moths, we all
love best to flutter in the light neavy
game shots liked to be iu a position to
cap the talcs of their rivals, and Jour
nalists were not averse from sensa
tional coups, even when imagination
bad to aid facts In the process. Each
member of the committee bad bis own
motive for making the most of his re
sults. ('Shame! Shame!') He had no
desire to be offensive ('You are!' and
interruption.) The corroboration of
these wondrous tales was really of the
most slender description. What did it
amount to? Some photographs. Was
it possible that In this age of Ingenious
manipulation photographs could be ac
cepted as evidence? What more? We
have a story of a flight and a descent
by ropes which precluded the produc
tion of larger specimens. It was In
genious, but not convincing. It was
understood that Lord John Roxton
claimed to bave the skull of a phoro
racbus. He could only say that he
would like to see that skull.
"Lord John Roxton Is this fellow
calling me a liar? (Uproar.)
"The Chairman Orderl Order! Dr.
Illingworth, 1 must direct you to bring
your remarks to a conclusion and to
move your amendment
"Dr. Illingworth Your grace, I have
more to say, but I bow to your ruling.
I move, then, that, while Professor
Summerlee be thanked for his Interest
ing address, the whole matter be re
garded as 'nonproven' nnd be referred
back to a larger and possibly more re
liable committee of Investigation.

respond more touchingly
They seemed to thrill with soul life at
the touching of a key,
And tender rays of loyeliht lliot
athwart the gathered gloom
In mnny a poor sinjaaidened heart
when Jim played "Home, Sweet
.m Home."
The scarlet women linng. their hends-
as memory flashed a light
Upon their home life when their souls,
now black with sin, were white.
And men brushed from their rum-red
eyes the hot unbidden tears
As winged their half . be-muddled
thoughts back through the lapse
ot years. .
With sobered faces men slunk out in
to the dim-lit street,
And women, some in tears, moved off
on half protesting feet,
And Whiskey dim sat all alone within
the silent room,
His own thoughts winging back nnto
the scenes at home, sweet home.

LITTLE RAGGED BABY

In most every woman's iieart, .

Toddling at some big child's side; -

And that sets them, so apart,

Just a little ragged baby .
But it s her chihl, Heaven knows,
And.it's,not a point of beauty
Nor a question of its clothes; -It's
