WASHINGTON. May i&-At the White

President Taft was given out eategor-
ically denying that Major Archibald ".
Butt. the presidents military aide, who
vas lost on the Titanic. had gone 10
Rome on any mission whatever from the
president 10 the Vatican. President
Taft's signed statement follows;
Among the insidious methods OF at
tack pursued by some against me is the
attempt to arouse religious prejudice ON
the charge that | am In some manner

church. II has been my official purpose,
first as the governor general Of the

tons and does not depart from the rule,
which separates our state from official
relations to all churches. l have unduly
favored no church. but have treated them
all with absolute impartiality.

posed 10 visit Rome, he asked me for

impossible Then, right out from all the
Others, and close to the edge of the cliff,
were two figures SO strange, and in other cir
cumStances so lud1crouS, that they absorbed
nv attention. One was our comrade, Pro-
fessor Challenger. The remains of his coat
still hung in strips from his shoulders; but
his shirt had been all torn out, and his great
beard merged itself in the black tangle which
covered his mighty chest He had lost his
hat, and his hair, which had grown long in
our wanderings, was flying in wild disorder.
A single day seemed to have changed him
from the highest product of modern civiliza-
ton to the most desperate savage in South
America Beside him stood his master, the
King of the Apemen In all things he was, as
Lord Roxton had said, the very image of our
professor, save that his coloring was red in
stead of black. The same short, broad fig
ure, the same heavy shoulders, the same for
ward hang of the arms, the same bristllng
beard merging itself in the hairy chest. Only
above the eyebrows, where the sloplng fore
head and low curved skull of the Apeman
were in sharp contrast to the broad brow
and magnificent Uranium of the European
could one see any marked difference. At
every other point the King was an absurd
parody of the professor.
A Ii this, which takes me SO long to de
scribe, impressed itself upon me in a
few seconds. Then we had very different
things to think of; for an active drama
was in progress. Two of the Apemen had
seized one of the Indians out of the group
and dragged him forward to the edge of the
cliff. The King raised his hand as signal.
They caught the man up by his leg and arm,
and swung him three times backward and
forward with tremendous violence. Then,
with frightful heave. they shot the poor
wretch over the precipice. With such force
did they throw him that he curved high in

THE LOST WORLD

nightmare, some delirium of fever. Yet |
will set it down now, while it is still fresh in
my memory; and one at least, the man who
lay in the damp grasses by my side, will
know if have lied.
A wide, open space lay before us, some
hundreds of yards across, all green turf and
low bracken growing to the very edge of the
cliff. Round this clearing there was a semi
circle of trees, with curious huts built OF toll
ago piled one above the other among the
branches A rookery, with every nest a lit
tie house, would best convey the idea. The
openings of these huts and the branches of
the trees were thronged with dense mob OF
people, whom, from their size, took to
be the females and infants OF the tribe. They
formed the background of the picture, and
were all looking out with eager interest at
the same scene which fascinated and Devil
dered us.
In the open, and near the edge of the cliff,
there had assembled a crowd of some hun
dreds of these shaggy, red-haired creatures,
many of them OF immense size and all OF
them horrible to look upon. There was
certain discipline among them; tor none OF
them attempted to break the line which had
been formed. In front there stood small
group of Indians, little, clean-limbed, red fel-
lows, whose skins glowed like polished
bronze in the strong sunlight. A tall, thin
white man was standing beside them, his
head bowed, his arms folded, his whole atti-
tude expressive Of his horror and detection.
There was no mistaking the angular form of

sacrifice so as to advance the runners, and
there was nothing for me to do but keep the
ball high. He made two attempts at bunt,
and then waited until he got three balls
With two strikes on him, figured that he
wouldn't try to bunt; SO | started my first
curve ball of the game. Ordinarily that
would have been bad judgment, because few
pitchers have perfect control OF their curve
and there was danger OF base on balls.
Still, if | put a fast one over the middle, |
knew he would pickle it. There was no al
tentative.
As | threw myself forward and gave my
arm that snap, felt that same old twinge of
pain. The ball broke squarely over the
plate; but he fooled me by bunting it toward
third and taking the chance of fouling him.

fore the ball could be tielded he had beaten
out the hit and the bases were full.
On the next batter laid one over, and got
a strike, then tried my curve-and if hot
rod had been jabbed in my arm | shouldnt
have felt any more pain. When that fore
arm muscle is jerked suddenly, the accom-
panying pain is very similar to that caused
by striking the "funnybone.' My whole
arm tingled.
Again | tried the curve,-I was desperate
now,-and it didn't break two inches. The

Every ball that threw was just SO much

my downfall. As would wind up and throw
my body forward, my eyes would fall on the
bench There sat three Youngsters looking
at me eagerly. At every bad toss their eyes
would CLEAN. They had no personal feelings
against me; but they knew that my down
fall would give them a chance. As | con-
tinued to get myself in the hole those eyes
haunted me. | couldn't keep my gaze off
those eager faces. They were unconsciously
doing just what had done twelve years be-

tears rolling down my cheeks he made no
comment.
Get in there" he said to one OF the young
fellows who had been warming up.
Not a man on the bench spoke to me-
They were as sad over my failure as had
been.
My arm was aching like an liberated
tooth. Slowly made my way to the club
house and sat on a bench for a long time all
alone.

My heart sank. My last hope of greatness
was gone. Why, thought, couldn't have
seen what they saw all this time?
"Of course, said the manager, who was
my friend, "if you don't want to take this
job | can fix it another way. III do some
thing for you that have never done for but
one other player. You have helped me win
four championships, and | appreciate it:
I'll give you your unconditional release, and

Help Your Baby Fight
the Summer Heat

1t isn't the heat, 1T is the food
that kills our babies in the
summer time and alas, more
of them die in these three summer
months than in all the rest of the year
together. Yet it is all SO unnecessary.
With the help of Nestle's Food the
summer can be so comfortable for the
baby and you will be free from anxiety.
In the long, sultry nights, you do not
need to bear the trials of souring milk,
the baby weary and cross, yourself ex-
hausted. If the baby has the right
food it will not mind the heat. Try
Nestle's for awhile and you will see
the little body plump out; and bathed,
freshly clothed, aired, summed and
properly fed, that little one of yours
will sleep smilingly in its little bed.
