THE LOST WORLD Hy SIR ARTHUR COISAN DOYLE *__j i (Continued From Saturday.) Some SO or 1<)0 males, tlie last sur vivors, had been driven across that baffle little clearing which led to the edg^uf the rlilT. the scene of our own exploit two days before. As we arrived the Indians, a semicircle of spear men, had closed In on them, and In a minute it "as over. Thirty* or forty died where they stood. The others, screaming and idawing, were thrust over the precipice, and went hurtling down, us their prisoners had of old, on to (he sharp bamboos six hundred feet below, it was as chal lenger had .-hid,- nd the >-eigu of man van assured forever in .Maple White l.and. The males mere exterminated, Are 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. For us the victory brought much advantage. Once again \\e were able to visit our carap-'and get at oar atones. Once more aL-o we were able to communicate with Zaniho, who had been terrified by the spectacle from afar of an avalanche of apes falling from the edge of the cliff. "Come aVay, massas, come away!” he cried, his eyes starting from his ■head. "The gebbll get you sure if you stay up there.” “It is the voice of sanity!” said iSuinrnerlee witli conviction. "We have had adventures enough and they are neither suitable to our character or our position. 1 hold you to your word, Challenger. From now on wards you devote your energies to getting us out of tills horrible coun try and back once more to civiliza tion.” We had returned across the plat eau with our allies two days after the battle, and made our cainp at -the foot of their cliffs. They would have had us share their caves with them, but 1 ,ord John would, by no means consent to it, considering that to do so would put us in their power If they were treacherously disposed. We kept our independence, therefore, and had our weapons ready for any emergency, while preserving the most friendly relations. We also continual ly visited their caves, which were most remarkable places, though whether made Jjy man or Nature we have never been able to determine. They were all on the one stratum, hollowed out of some soft rock which lay between the volcanic basalt form * i- -———-■ “ \ New York --Day by Day -s' By O. O. M’INTYRE Paris, March 15.—1 have met the most celebrated spurtsman and bon vivant of Franc*. His name Is pretty well known in America as the re sult of cabled stories of young Amer ican beauties falling desperately in lore with him. He is Henri Letellier. best knrwn as the proprietor of Le Journal, one of the leading newspapers of Paris. I expected to see a dashing, excitable end monocled Beau Brummel—a fel low who radiated enthusiasm and the sheer joy of living. Instead I saw a slight, thin, flat chested man whose face reminded you of the beak of a pelican. Ho was dressed with the modesty of a counting house clerk. He seemed tired, listless and worn. Yet l)e was on his way to one of ills celebrated all night parties at his home in Rue Bpontini. Letellier hag a. hundred different Interests—all profitable. He is a plun ger at tlie race track and the gaming fables. He own! some of the casinos. HeVct il American stage beauties are reported to owe their ropes of pearls to his generosity. He is said to he amazingly at tractive to those women of the world to be found always in Paris. They are the migratory birds of passage you find in the bazars of Bagdad, the shooting boxes of the Highlands. In Ijondon, Venice and Algiers. They fly everywhere. I do not believe M. Letellier would cause a head to turn on Fifth Ave nue In Xew York. Yet in the hotel foyer where he stood everybody stop ped,to look at him. Some were peep ing ‘ from behind marble pillars. Ofrh^s walked up to hitn and looked him over with frank curiosity. Parisians love the man who takes a big chance. letellier has for years followed XeiJsche's' advice: "Be hard; live dangerously." His papers are daring and progressive and what he makes out of them and his other en terprises he spends with a lavish hand. And France loves that. One often sees Mabelle Gilman Corey among the butterflies. Having reaped a fortune through her ma; rlage with W. E. Corey, the steel man, she is able to entertain lavishly. She still looks fairly youthful when others of her ag" are beginning to show the Imprint of time. She has adopted the bird like quickness of manner of the French. She is one of the few women In Paris whose hair is not bobbed. — Purls, has ma.ny sine wain enter lainers we used to know on the old Bowery as "buskers." They make their stand In front of theaters and eat fire, swallow swords and do feat" of magic for the few centimes that *.re pitched them. The Paris "busker" has reduced living to a min lmum. He can exist on about 2ft cents a week. He sleeps In doorways and cadges food and drink by per forming In the little circular bars. The street criers of pails are also Interesting types. The brush seller like a huge porcupine with his stiff bristled brushes, Is to be found In •very residential street. The window repairer with a pack of different sized window panes on his lmck pa trols the business district. And the old men messengers from the dress making establishments who are drenrhed with expensive perfume. Today I saw an old bewhlskered papa riding a bicycle near the opera. Me wai smoking a cfgaret and when traffic stopped him he drew up at the curb and extracted a volume called "The Vices of Hove” and began calmly to read until he could go on • gain. It Is the law In France that th best literature must be In rhear paper lmck form In -en^'h of the poor. Tt Is a constructive bit of legislation but 1s spoiled by the laxity In permit ting the most flagrant exhibits ol pornography to be sold everywhere flvery book stall displays volume* that would send the seller to prison in America. lUoDVtlSbt. lljkb ipg the ruddy cliff Hbo'.e them, and tlie hard granite which formed theii base. it was on the (bird day after our forming our camp near the Indian raves that the tragedy occurred. Chat lenger and ttummerlee had gone off together that day to the lake where some of the natives under their direr lion were engaged in harpooning specimens of the great lizards. Lord John and I had remained in our camp, while a number of tlie Indians were scattered about the grassy slope In front of the raves engaged in difft rent ways. Suddenly tlieve was a shrill cry of alarm, with tlie word "Stoa'' resounding from a hundred tongues. From every side men, women and children were rushing wildly for shelter, swarming up the staircases and into tlie caves in a mad stampete. Looking up we could see them wav ing 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 tvhat the danger coujjj he. Suddenly from the near belt of trees there broke forth a group of twelve or flf teen Indians running for their lives, and at their very heels two of those frightful monsters which had dis turbed our camp and pursued me upon my solitary jounrey. In 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 flsh-like iridescence, aifd the sunlight struck them with an ever varying rainbow bloom as they moved. We had little tiiye to watch them, however, for in an instant they had overtaken the fugitives and were mak ing a dire slaughter among them. Their method was to fall forward! with their full weight-upon each inj turn, leaving him crushed and man gled, to bound on after tlie others ! Tlie wretched Indians screamed with terror, but were helpless, run as they would, before the relentless purpose and horrible activity of these mon strous creatures. One after another they went down, and there were not half a dozen surviving by the time my companion and I could come toj their help. But our aid was of little| avail and only Involved us in t lie same peril. At the range of a couple I of hundred yards we emptied our magazines, firing bullet after bullet into too oeasis, nut vvitn no more effect than if we were pelting them with pellets of paper. Their slow reptilian natures cared nothing for wounds, and the springs of their lives, with no special brain center but scat tered throughout their spinal cords could not lie tapped by any modern weapons. The most that we coukl do was to check their progress by dis tracting their attention with the flash and roar of our guns, and so to give both the natives and ourselves time to reach the steps which led to safety. But where the conical explosive bul lets of the twentieth century were of no avail, the poisoned arrows of the natives, dipped in the Juice of strophanthus and steeped afterwards in decayed carton, could succeed. Such arrows were of little avail to the hunt er who attacked the beast, because their action in that .torpid clrcula tion was slow, and before its powers failed it could certainly overtake and slay its assailant. But now, as the two monsters hounded us to the very foot of the stairs, a drift of darts came whistling from every chink in the cliff above them. In a minute they were feathered with them, and yet wit It no sign of pain they clawed and slobbered with impotent rage at the steps which would lead them to their victims, mounting clumsily up for a few yards and then sliding down again to the ground. But at last the poison worked. One of them gave a deep rumbling groan and dropped his huge squat head on to tlie earth. The other bounded round in an eccentric circle with shrill, wall ing ci lee, and then lying down writhed In agony for some minutes before it also stiffened and lay still. With yells of triumph the Indians came flocking down from their caves and danced a frenzied dance of victory round the dead bodies, in mad joy that two more of the most dangerous of all their enemies had been splain. That night they cut up and removed the bodies, not to eat—for the poison was still active—but lest they should breed a pestilence. The great reptilian hearts, however, each ns large as a cushion, still lay there, heating slowly and steadily, with a gentle rise and fall. In horrible independent life. It was only upon the third day that the ganglia ran down and the dreadful things were still. Tn spite of the danger from dino saurs (which is not. great save at night, for, ns I may have'said before, they are mostly nocturnal in their “■--^ habits) T have twice in the last three weeks been over to our old camp in order to see our negro who still kept watch and ward below the cliff. M> eyes strained eagerly across the great plain in the hope of seeing afar off the help for which we had prayed. But the long cactus-strewn levels still stretched away, empty and Imre, to the distant line of eanehrakeC “They will noun come now. Mass Malone.

"Well, young fellah," suit! he. "who would have thought of lneetiu' you up here?'’ “\\ lint in the world are you doing?” [ asked. "Visitin’ my friends, tlie pterodac tyls." said lip. "Hut why?"
