It was lonf.'. whitish aud blotched with plnn'le^, i^c iiosf llattened and the lower JKW projir'tlnpr. with a bristle of coarse \vlii.-;Ueis round the ihln. Tbe eyes, which were under thick and heavy brows, were bestial and fero¬ cious, and as it opened its mouth to snarl what sounded like a curse at me I ob^ened that it had curved, sharp canine teeth. For an Instant I read hatred and menace in ttie evil eyes. Then, as quick as a flash, eame an expression of overpowering tear. There was a crash of brokeu boughs as it dived wildly down into the tan¬ gle of green. I caught a glimpse of a hairy body like that of a reddish pig. and then It was gone amid a swirl of leaves and branches,
"What's the matter?" shouted Rox¬ ton from below. "Anything wrong with you?"
"Did you see It?" 1 crietl. with my arms around the branch and all my nerves tlngiing.
"We heard a row. as if your foot had •lipped.    What was it?"
I was so shocked at tbe suJden «ud Strang* appearaiue of this  ape  man

That evening by the light of the tirr i and of a s-ingle candle the tirst maji | of tho lost world wa.s elabortited. Ev- i ery detail wlii<'h I bad roughly noted i from my watehtower wns drawn .out i fn it.s relative plaee. Challenger's pen ell hovered over the great blank which marked the lake.
"\A'hat shall we call It?" he aske: at length.
"Why should you not take the chance of perpetuating your own name?" said Summerlee. with his usual touch of acidity.
riinill inryiiir-^ ni tnr gTtrp oi tmr znreua. (jukkly sllf>i)ed otit. .My last glan'o 5ihowed me the tinconsilous Summer¬ lee, most futile of sentinels, still nod¬ ding away like a (jueer mechanical toy in front of the ,sraolderlng fire. He was fast asleep.
The night had been exci^edingly still, but as I advanced 1 became con.sclous of a low.  ruriibling sound, a continu ous   murmur,   somewhere   In   front  ot me.    This grew louder as I proceeded, nntll at last it was clearlj- (pilte close to me.    When  1  stood .still the sound was   constant,   so   that   It   seemed   to come from some stationary cause.    It was  like a  boiling kettle  or the bub bllng of some great pot.    Soon I came upon the soufe of it. for In the center ofa sinall I'learing 1 found a lake -or m pool, rather, I'or it was not larviM- than tbe basin of the Trafaig.nr sqtiare foun tain—of .some black, pit'hlike stuff, the surface of which lose and fell In great I blisters of bursting gas.   The air above i It was shinimerlng with heat, nnd the ground roimil wa.'s so hot tluit 1 could hardly benr to lay my hand on  it.    Il was clear that the great volciuilc oif burst   whhh   hnd   raised   the   strange plateau .so many yeurs ago had not yei entirely  spent   its   forces,     niackeiie.l rocks  and mounds of lava  1  had  ;il ready   seen   everywhere   [leeping   om from   nmid   the   luxuriant   vegetation whicii drnfed  them,  but  this  asphalt pool In the jun.c;le was the (irst simi that we hnd of actual existing activity on the slopes of the ancient eniter.    I had no time to examine it furtlier, for 1  had need  ro liutTy If  I  were to  be back in camt" in the morning.
It wa,s u fearsome walk and one which wjJl be with me so long as mem¬ ory holds. In the great mooulight clearincs I slunk along among the shadows on the margin. In the Jungle I crept fr.rwnrd. stopping with a beat¬ ing heart whenever I heurd^ fts t of ten did. the crash of breaking branches as some wllil beast went past. Now and then great .shadows loomed up for an Instant and were gone—gre.Tt, .ijI lent shadow.s which seemed to prow! upon padded feet. Flow often I stop ped with the intention of retuniinL: and yet every time my pride conquer ed my fear and sent me on again unti my object should be attnlned.
At last (my watch showed that ii was 1 In the morning) I .saw the gleam of water amid the openings of tho jun gle, and ten niinutes later I was anions the ree<ls upon the borders of the cen tral lake. I was exceedingly drj', so I lay down and took a long draft of it- waters, which were fresh and cold There was- a broad pathway witl many tracks upon it at the spot which I hnd found, so that it was clearly one of the drinking places of the aniiflalvc Close to the water's edge there was i huge isolated block of lava. Up thi- I climbed, and. lying on the top oi this lihwk. 1 had nn excellent view in
naa reacneo a point wnicn may nave been halfway home when my mind was brought back to my own position by a strange nol.se behind me. It was something between a snore and a growl, low. deep and exceedingly men¬ acing. Some strange creature was evi¬ dently near me. but nothing could be seen, so I hastened more rapidly upon my way. I had traversed half a mile or so when suddenly the sound was re peated, still behind me, but louder and more menacing than before. My heart stood still wil hin me as It flashed across me that the t>east, whatever it was, must snrely be after me. I was petrified with terror.
T stood like n man paralyzed, atlli staring at the ground which I had traversed. Then suddenly I saw It. There was movement among the bush¬ es at the far end of the clearing whieh I had Just traversed. A great dark shadow dlseiigag(?d itself and hopped out Into the clear moonlight. I say "hopped" advisedly, for the beast move<l like a kangaroo, springing along

I  wai" stiff and  sore from  head  to toot,  blf there   was  no  limb   which   would   nc* move, no Joint which would not bend. It  was.  as  1   have said,  a  pit   wlt* sharply sloping walls and a  level bot tom  about   twenty   feet  across.    ThJis bottom   vvas   liitere<l   with   great  goto bets of flesh, most of which waa In the last   state   of   putridity.     The   atmos phere    was    poisonous    and    horrlbl* .'ifter   tripjiing   and   stumbling   wrt these lumps of de- ay I came suddenl.i against something hard,  and  I  found lhat an upri.sht post was Hrmly flxed In  the eenter of the  hollow,     ft wa£
so high that 1 could not reach the top. In an erect iiosition upfm its powerful | of it with my hand, and it nppeared U
hind legs, while Its front ones wen held bent in front of It. It was of enormous size nnd power, like an ereet elephant, but its movements. In spiti- of Its bulk, were exceedingly alert. For a moment, as I saw its shape, 1 hoped that it was in Iguanodon, which I knew to be harmless, but. ignorant as I was, I soon snw that this was a very different creature. Instead of the gentle, deer sh:i[)ed head of the great three toed, leaf eater, this beast had a broad, squat, toadlike face like that which had alarmed us In our camp. His ferocious cry nud (he horri ble enercy of his pursuit both assure'!

After a long pause, therefore, to re¬ cover my breath and my courage I cot.- ttnued  my  a.scent  until   I  had  toppeil j ¦11 the trees of the forest.
"Then." said 1, blushing, I dare say. as I said It. "let it be named T.«ke Gladys."
"Don't you think the Central lake would be more descriptive?" remarked Summerlee.
"I should prefer Lake Gladys," I de¬ clared blushlngly.
Challenger looked at me sympathet¬ ically and shook his great head in mock disapproval, 'Boys will bo boys," said he. 'Lake Gladys let It be. Ma loue shnll have his way."

Even now when I think of that night mare  the  sweat  breaks  out  upon  my brow.    What could I do?    My useless fowling piece was In my hand.    What help could  1 get from that?    I lookeil

Suddenly I remembered that I had k tin box of wax vestas in my po<ket Striking one of theui, 1 was able at last to form some opinion of this place Into whi- h I had fallen. There could be no question ns to its nature. It waf a trap—!i .,. hand of man. Th.:

was shar; ¦••heij at the upjier end, an<J was bla.-k with the -tale blood of the (rentures who had been ImpaletJ upon It.
The remains scartere<.l about were fragments of the victims, which had been cut auay in order to clear tht stake for the next wbo rni<?ht blumler In. I remembered that Challenger ha<5 declared thut man could not exist upoii tbe plateau, since with his feeble weaions he could not hold his awn against the inonst«'rs who roame<t over it.
But now it wa« clear enough ttow it could be done. In their aarro-w mouthed laves tbe natives, whoever tbey might be, had refuges Into which the huge '^a'.irians could not penetrate, while with their developed brains thej were eiipabie of setting such traps covered with branches, acrosK the paths wUl-ll marked the run of tbe aninials as would destroy tbem In spite of all their strength and activity. Man was always the master.
The sloping wail of the pit was noi dlfflcult for an active man to cllrnh. but I hesitated long before I trustp<i myself within reach of the dreadfu creature which had so nearly destroy ed me.

tlcnlarty bright and clear one. so that the whole extent of the plateau wns visible beneatli nie. It was. as seen from this height, of an oval contour. with a breadth of about thirty miles and a width of twenty. Its goneral shape was that of a shallow funnel. all the sides sloping down to a consid erable lake In the center. This lake may have tieen ten miles In circumfer an^o and lay very greeii and beautiful tn the evening light, with a ihlck fringe of reeds at its edges and with ii sur¬ face broken by sijveral yello^' sand¬ banks, which gleamed golden In the i mellow sunshine. .\ numher of long, ! dark objects, which were too large for ' alligators and too long for canoes, la.v upon the edges of these patches of sand.

From the side of the plateau on which we were slopes of woodland, with occasionnl glades, stretched down for flve or six miles to the central lake. 1 could see at wy very I'et the glade of the feunnodons, nnd farther oft was a   round   openiiii;   iu   the  trees   which

That little glow of self satisfaction, that added measure of self conliilenco, was to lead mo on that very niglu to the most dreadful experleiu'e of my life, ending with a shock which turns my heart sick when 1 think of It.
It came alxiut iu this way: I had b«eii unduly excited by the adveuture of the tree, and sleep seemed to bo tm , posslbie. Summerlee was on guard. sitting hunched over our small flro. a quaint, angular ligui-e, his rlrto acros> his knees and his pointeil, goatlike beard wagging with each weary nod of hia head.
