That morning we mapped out a small
portion of the plateau, avoiding the
swamp Of the pterodactyls and keeping
to the east Of our brook instead of to
the west. In that direction the cOun-
try was still thickly wooded, with so
much underground that our progress

lat least it was far more human than
any monkeys that 1 have ever seen.
1t was long, whitish and blOtched with
.pimples, the nose flattened and the
lower jaw projecting, with bristle of
coarse whiskers round the chin. The
eyes, which were under thick and
heavy brows, were bestial and fero-
cious, and as it opened its mouth to
snarl what sounded like curse at
me l observed that it had curved,
sharp canine teeth. For an instant 1
read hatred and menace in the evil
eyes. Then, as quick as flash, came
an expression of OverpOwering fear.

did not mean to quit.
After long pause, therefore, to re-
cover my breath and my courage con-
tinued my ascent until l had topped
all the trees of the forest.
The sun was just above the western
sky line, and the evening was par
tlcularly bright and clear one, so that
the whole extent of the plateau was
visible beneath me. 1t was, as seen
from this height, of an oval contour,

of reeds at its edges and with Its sur

banks, which cleaned golden in the

upon the edges of these patches Of

Summerlee raised his hand.
"Hush| he cried. Surely I hear

From the utter silence there emerged
a deep, regular pat, pat. 1t was the
tread Of some animal-the rhythm Of
soft but heavy pads placed cautiously
upon the ground 1t stole slowly
around the camp and then halted near
our gateway. There was a low, sibl-

| stopped and peered over his shoul-
der through the gap. Yes, could see
1t too. In the deep shadow of the
tree there was deeper shadow yet,
black, inchoate, vague-a crOuching
form full of savage vigor and menace.
It was no higher than a horse, but the
dim outline suggested vast bulk and
strength. That kissing pant, as regu-
lar and full volumed as the exhaust of
an engine, spoke Of mOnstrous organ
ism. Once as it moved l thought
saw the CLINT Of two terrible greenish
eyes. There was an uneasy rustling,
as if it were crawling slowly forward.

cracked into nervous laugh as he
spoke.
"No, 1t must not get over" cried Lord
John, "but hold your fire to the last
Perhaps l can make something Of the
fellow. I'll chance it, anyhow"
1t was as brave an act as ever saw
Il man do. He stopped to the fire, pick
ed up a blazing branch and slipped in
an instant through sOllypOrt which
he had made in our gateway. The
thing moved forward with a dreadful
snarl. Lord John never hesitated but,
running toward it with a quick, light
step, he dashed the flaming wood into
the brute's face. For one moment |
had a vision of a horrible mask like a
giant toads, Of a warty, leprOus skin
and Of a loose mouth all beslabbered
with fresh blood. The next, there was
a crash IN the underwood and our
dreadful visitor was gone.
'T thoughtbe wouldn't face the fire."
said Lord John, laughing, as he came
back and threw his branch among the
fagOts.
"You should not have taken such a
