"But how did they como to t>e there'/"
"I do not think tlmt the problem is a

"But surely your evidence is conclu¬ sive. Tou have only to lay It before the proper authoritios."
"So  in  my  simplicity   I   had  liuag- taed," said the professor bitterly.

and uo one is aware that Challen;:er will speak. Wo muy get .'i scoop If uc are lucky. You'll be there in any case, so you'll Just give us n pretty full re¬ port. I'll kec[i space up to midnight.' When I met Tarii Ilenry nt the Sav¬ age club he wns skeptical in the ex treme. but be promised to come to th« meeting.
When   we   arrlve<l   at   the   hall   we found a mnch groater concourse than I   had  expecte<l.     .\   line  of   elecirh' brougbanis discharged their little car¬ goes   of    whlto   liearded    [irofcssors. while the dark stream of humbler pe¬ destrians;   who   crowde<I   through   the arche<l doorway showed thnt the audi¬ ence would bo ixipnlar ns well ns scl entlflc.    Indee<l. It became evident to us na soon as wo hnd t.'ikeri onr .'^o.tih mat a youthful and even boyish spirit Was obrond In rhe gollerr an.i the back j portions of the hall.    Looking t)ehind ; me, I could .see rows of faces of the familiar   medicnl   student   type.     Ap- ! parently the great hospitals had each j sent   tlown   their   coiuingent.     There ! was a great demonstration on the en¬ trance  of   I'rofessor Challenger  wben ; ho passed dowi>. to take his place at ' the extreme eud of the front  row of ; ; the platform.    Such a yell of welcome broke forth when his black beard tirst protrudetl rouml the corner tliat I be- ' giui to suspect Tarp Henry was right In  bia  surmise  nnd   that   this   assem- \ blage   was   there  not   merely   for   the I Bake of the lecture, but because It had ' grot rumoretl  abroad  taat  the  famous professor wonld take part In the pro- . ceedings. ^
There wus sumo sympathetic laugh¬ ter on Ills entrance nmong the front benches of wetl dressed spe'-tntors us though  the demonstration  of the stu¬ dents In tills Instance wns not unwel   ' come to them.   That greeting wns, in- ' deed, a frii-'htiul outburst of sound, the uproar of the cnn.lvtira cage when the step of tlie  bucket  liearing  kcnjiier Is hearrl In the distance.    There wns an offensive tone In It, ^KThaps. antl yet in : the main it stnick mo as mere riotous ' ontcrj', the noisy reception of ono wh>' ' amused   and   interested   them,   rather than of one they disliked or tlespised. Challenger smiled with weary and ti>l arant contempt, as a kindly mnn woulil moet  the yappln.sr »' tt. Utter of pup pies,    lie snt sKiwly down, blew out hia chest. ;insstvl his hand caressingly down his bearil atul lookdl with droop tng eyelids and siipeirillous eyos at the crowde<l luill. before him.   The uproiu' of hia advent had n'>t yet died uwii\ when   I>o1'cssor   Ronald   Murray,   thr chairman,  and  Mr   Waldron,  tho Ich* turer, threaded their wa.v to the front and the priK>'edlngs begitu.

Ilnd the gorros | of It arrived fn.rn outsldo upon a me¬ teor?    It wns hardly conceivable.    On tho  whole,  the  wisest  mnii   was  the lenst   dogmatic   upon   the  point.     We could not, or nt least we hnd not suc¬ ceded  up to date In  making organic life In our Inljnrntorles out o/ Inorganic materials.    The gulf between the dead I and the living  was  something  which j our chemistry could not as yet bridge. But  thero  was  a   higher and   subtler chemistry  of  nature,   which,   working with   groat   forces   ovor   long   epochs, might well produce result.s which were Impossible for us.    Tliere the matter must be left.
"Question!" tKKimed a voice from tlie platform.
Mr. Waldron was a strict dlsclpUnari- nn with a gift of acid humor, as ha'l been cxomplUU?<l on many nnd varied occasUwiR, which made It perilous to Intormpt him.
