CHAPTER  XVl. A  Terrifying   .Sight.
NO suddenly there curno some¬ thing to remind me of my ab¬ sent comp.'inioiis. In the clear, sfiU murniim nir there sound¬ ed far away the sharp, hard note o( a single rifle shot. I paused and listened, but there was nothing more. I'or a moment I was shorkcd at the thought that some sudden danger might have befallen them. Hitt tliiin a simpler and more natural e.xi/lanatkm fiiiiie to 1 my mind. It was now broad daylight. No doubt my absence had been no¬ ticed. They had imagined that 1 was lost In the woimIs and had (ired this shot to guide me liiune. It Is true that we had in.qde a stri't resolution against firing, but if 11 seemed to them that 1 might lie in daii.:.,er Ihey would not hesitate. It wns for me now to hurry on as fast as possible and so to reas¬ sure thetn.
I was weary and spent, so ui.\' prog- re.is wa.s not so fast as I wished, but at last I cuuje into regions which 1 knew. There was the swainp of the pterodactyls unou my left: I'lei-e iu front of me was the glade of Ihc^ Igua- nodons. .Xow 1 was In the last belt of trees whii h separated me from Fort Challenger. 1 r.iised uiy voire In a cheery sl'uiii tn allay their fe:ifs. .Vn answering t; reel ing came bu k to me. My heart sank at tliat ominous still¬ ness. I ((uickened my luice into a run. The zareb.i rose before me, even as 1 had lef! It. liut the gate was open. I rushed ill. In the cold morning light It was a feiuTul sight wh!' h met my eyes. Our effects were siatterjed in wild confusion over the ground, my comrades had disappeareil. and elo.<p to the smoldering asli(>.^ of our fire t!i-: grass was stained crimson u'lth a hide
ous pool  of iilnod.
I was sn stunned li.\ this sudden shock that for a time I must have nearly lost my reason. 1 have a vague recollection, ns one remeniliers a bad dream, of rushing about through the woods all .1 round the empty camp, calling wildly for my companiims. .Nn answer i-anie back f^rom the silent shadows, .\fter a long period, during whicii I sat ill bewilderment. I set my¬ self to try to discover what sudden misfortune could have befallen them. The whole disordered apjiearance of tbe cani)! showed that tbi-re had been some sort of attack, and the riHe shot no doubt marked the time when It had occurred. That there should havebeeu only one shot showed that it had been all over in an instant. The ritles still lay uiioii the ground, and one nf them- Lord .lohn's had the empty cartiidge In the breeeh. The blankets of Chal¬ lenger and (if Summerlee beside the Arc suggested that they had beeu asleep at the time. The cases of am¬ munition and of fond were scattered about in a wild litter, together with our unidrtiinte cameras and plate car¬ riers, but none nf them were missing. Ou the other band, all the exposed [iro- visions—and I remembered that there were a considerable' (piaiitity nf them— were Kone. They were aninials. then, aud not nalhes, who had mada the inroad, for surely tlie latter would have left iintliing behiiul.
Suddenly u thought came to me and brought some little comfort to my heart. 1 was not alisolutely alone iu the world. I'own at tlie bottom of the cliff and within call of me was waiting the faithful Zauibo. i went to the ediie of  the  ohileau  and  looked  over.

I"'or  an   instant   my   Iieart   leu|ied   for .)oy as I thought that one of my com¬ rades had mnde his w.-iy s.'ifely down, lint a serond glnnce dispelled the lioiie. The   rising   sun   shone   red   upon   the man's   skin.     lie   was   an   Indian.     I shmiled   loudly  and   waved   my   liatid kerchief.    Presently Zambo looked uj). waved  h!=i hnnd and turned to ascend the i/liiiiacle.    Ill a slinrt lim<? lie was stnnding close to me and listening with deep distress lo the stnry whicii 1 to!d llim.

To tnke a letter:    Why not?   Perhaps he might  bring help,  but In any case he  would   insure  Hint   our lives   were not .spent for nothing and that news of nil that we h.il won for science should reach onr friends at home.

Just us the sun w;is setting upon that melancholy night I saw tlie lonely lig¬ ure of the Indian upon.Jlie vast plaiu beneath me, and I w-atched him. our one faint hope of salvntiou, unlU he dlsajipeared in tho rising mists of even!n.g which liiy rose tinted from the setting f,un befwee'n the faroff river and me.

A Distinctive Reason
What is the chiei* reason for the superi¬ ority of Royal Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Koyal finOTO other baking powders.
This reason, which avery woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is mode from cream of tartar, which comes fro^n grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Koyal Baking Powder.
