Waldo
Emerson
Smith-Jones
(one of
the
Boston
Smith-Joneses)
-- a
tall and
thin
youth
with an
ominous
cough --
finds
himself
cast
ashore
on a
desert
island
in the
Pacific,
so
primitive
that it
is still
peopled
by a
race
closer
to the
apes
than to
man.
Waldo
has all
the
advantages
of
wealth,
culture
and
social
position.
And yet,
when
rescue
came,
Waldo
turned
his back
on it
and
sought
the
jungle
again.
Waldo
had
become a
cave
man.
Waldo's
brain,
clogged
with
useless
learning,
was
still
nimble
enough
to
outwit
brute
strength.
He
lacked
only
woodcraft
and
pluck.
These
were
supplied
him by
the slim
brown
Nadara,
the cave
girl,
who
called
him
Thandar
-- the
Brave
One.
How
Waldo
lifted
the cave
people
ahead a
couple
of eons
in
civilization,
and
earned
the name
of
Thandar,
makes a
story
rich in
human
interest
and
exciting
action.

The

his

back to
the

of that

and
knife,

down the
might

tiger,
fighting
single-handed
the

cave
bears

other
huge
animals
and

of that

Then we
find the
hunter
buried
in a

one of

frequent
earthquakes,
and
100,000
years
later
emerging
fresh
and
vigorous,
hungry
and
thirsty,
to seek
the girl
he
loved.
And he
finds
one he
takes to
be
her.
Then the
story
reverts
to the
tertiary
period
again,
with all
the
excitement
and
thrill
of
strife
to
survive
human
and
beastly
enemies.
In the
end we
come
back to
the
present.
The
author
has
blended
the two
ages in
a very
realistic
picture
of
prehistoric
men and
days, as
a
contrast
to the
present,
and it
makes
enchanting
reading.

hulking
brutes
Professor
Maxon

in his

Soulless,
malformed,
brainless
they
were,
nevertheless
composed
of flesh

blood
and
endowed
with the
spark of

Only
number
13 was
the

feature
of this

experiment,
for he
was a
perfect
specimen
of a
man, but
he, too,
was
soulless.
Unconsciously
he was
the
cause of
the most
diabolical
plans
Professor
Maxon
had yet
concocted
-- his
beautiful
daughter
Virginia
was to
marry
this
monster.
Were he

but what
could a

away off
