lug him to awcor. Unwilling to lotvi
his position , ho g vo such heavy blowi
that the violent shaking o the rooki
placed hint a position clinilar to a motl
held between two leaves of a book
threatened with complete destruction.
Not a word was exchanged. No eonni
was hccrd auvo the rcgatar bio ITS of the
pick , me 111id cs though coming from a
distance. Not an osho responded an the
tounda came forth In the still air. Ercr
the eh a down were of an unknown dark-
nesn , dense with the il/ing coal duet ,
rtndorcd heavy by the gas which welghec
npon the eyelids. The lamp wlcks.undci
tholr cover of wire gauzp , threw out onlj
reddish gleamo. Nothing wag distin
guishable , the drift arose Ilka a large
chimney , level , thou oblique , where thi
coot of ten winters was heaped up , mak
ing a profound night. The dim light !
fell on spectral form : , flitting ( o and fro ,
rcvoillcg rounded hips , Knotty arms anc
heads smlrchud aa though from a brawl ,
At times pieces of detached coal were
suddenly lit up with n crystal like rdlc >
tion. Tbon darkness returned , whllo the
heavy blows still continue , counted with
the panting of weary chests nnd groans
of unoaalnccm and fatigue froxi the heavj
air and falling water.
Ztcharle , weak from a wedding party
of the night ba'foro , soon slackened his
work , under pretext of being lame , and
forgetting himcelf , he whistled softly , hit
oyea roving on the shadows. Behind the
diggers , almost ton foot cf the vein re
mained cleared , without tholr having
taken the precaution to suitaln the rock
nbove , hoedleea of the danger , and stingy
of their time.
"Hsllool" cried the youttf msm to
Anton , "givn mo some wood.1
Anton , whom Catheririo had taught to
uao his shovel , was obliged to carry up
the wood Into the drift. There was a
small amount hft there from the day be
fore. A portion , ready cut , was brought
down to them every morning.
"Hurry up now , " crlod Zioharlo , see
ing tbo novr-comcr awkwardly raising
himself np among the coal , hid arms en
cumbered with four pieces cf oak.
With his piok , ho made a notch in the
selling , and another In the wall ; and
wedged in two pieces of wood , thus
propped up the rock. In the afternoon
ather workmen took the gobbing loft at
the end of the gallery by the diggersand
filled up ilia trench tnadu in the vein
tvhero they saw the smpports , arranging
: ari3fully through the Inferior and supe
rior roads , over which tbo cirj wcro
pushed.
Mahon paused , having at last detached
ib blea. Ho wiped hid pareplrlng face
npou his nleovo , nncasy ut the work of

"Leave that alone , " cald ho. "Wo'll
ice to It after lunch. It'll be bolter to dig ,

"This is sinking , " responded the young
nnn. "Look , thuro'a a crack. I'm
ifrald It's giving way. "
But hfs father shrnggod his shoulders.
'Ah , Riving way ! It wouldn't bo the
irattlmt ; they'd get out of It nil the

ind tending his ton buck In front ol the
Irift.

The others continued tholr work ,

Ino coal dust which blackened them , ran

Mahon was the first to again commtiicj

rock. Now the dropa falling upon hit

skull.
"It ain't worth while to catch them , "

And tha obliging gi < l resumed her In-

The young man , whoso cyo Ji d b -

with rapid regularity ; then ahopushed
ns far ns the Inclined plane , with n si
thrust , without Impediment , passing
CAIO under the lowest rocks. His c

his perplexity.
In truth It WAI not an easy road ,

Having placed a chock under tt

weighed three hundred pounds. H
surprUod and ruhatnod , stammered a

She was compelled to ohow him ho

lie an s of support. The body should I
tent , tbo arms stiff , In order to glvo tt

Thou at the Inclined piano came a not
irudgery. She taught him to load h

rhlcn wan used by all the drifts from on
tory to the other , a boy was placed , th
end or above , the receiver below. Thet

Mocking laughs broke out.

And , at each trip , Anton again notlcei

"Won't yon sbara with me ? '
And when ho refused , ( ( wearing ho wai

She hnd already broken the dices It

pin bis hips , BH that oho could not roi

rely comrade the bad thrown heml

her chin In ono hand , slowly eating fr <
the other. Their lamps between tht
lit them up ,
Catherine regarded him n moment
allonco. She began to think him * ban
romp , with his flno features and hia
mustache ; she smiled.
"So you're a machinist , and they *
sent you awsy from yonr shops Why
"Because 1 slapped my boss. "
She was ntnazod ; her inherited Ideas
subordination and patslve obedience w
upset.
"I must own up I was drank , " co
tinned he , "and when I drink It mak
mo crazy , why , I'd oat myself and over
bcdy else. I can't lake two little glats
without wanting to fight. And I w

"You musn't drink , " said h ? , soi

And bo shook his head , he had
hatred of rum , the hatred of the la
child of a race of drunkardswhoso natui
suffered nil tint burning thirst produce
by nloohol , knowing that the least drc
was for him , a poison.
"It's of mother that '
on account my I'
nnnoyod at having been put out In tl
street , " said In after having swallowed
mouthful. "My mother Is not well of
and every once In a whllo I Bond her
hundred sous. "
"Wlinro Is your mother ? "
"In Paris. She's a waah-iroman , I
the rue do la Gontto d'Or. "
He was silent. When ho thought <
these things hia black eyes gleamed wit
sharp pain , ns ho brooded over injury re
oolvod. For an Instant , his looks woj
lost in the depths of the mlno'u shadow ;
nnd In that dnrknow , under the welgl :
nnd conlinomont of the earth above , h
again saw his childhood , hia mother , stt
pretty and healthy , cant < ff by his fathe
and then taken back again , after bavin
bean msrrlod to auother , living botwec
the two men who ruined her , nnd , t
last , ended with thorn In the gnttor , I
rrino and filth. Ho recalled the ntroel
some details oamo back to him , the dirt
llnon In the mlddlo of the ship , oem
drnnkem men who gathered at the lions
and the boxing which alnmt broke hi
oars "Now , resumed ho , In n low voijo , ' '
shall not bo able to gtvo her much out c

Ho shrugged his ahonldors In despair
then agiin bit into his sandwich.
"Won't you have a drink ? " nikoe
CithcrluL' , who WJB holding her pull t
her lips. "Ohl It's coffee ; that'l do yoi
no harm. You'll choke without some
thing to wnih down the broad. "
But ho refuted. It was bad enougl
for him to have taken half of her broad
However , eho instated in a good-uaturci
way , saying :
"Well , I'll drink hoforo you , if you'r
nopollto. * * * Only it would b
mean to refuse any longer. "
She tendered him her pail , knocllnj
down before htm , lit up by the yeltoi
mya of the two lamps. Why had h
thought horugl ) ? Now + hat she wa
black , her face cavored with coal dust , i
him oho seamed to have a singular charm
In the half gloom , thn teeth In her larg
mouth were of a dazzling whiteness , he :
eyes grow larger , shining wltb. a groenlsl
reflection , like the eyes of n cat. A mas
of auburn hair which had otcaped fron
the pall delighted him , and ho laughoi
quietly. She no longer appeared si
yonnBf , she was at least fourteen.
"To please yon , " said ho , drinking ant
returning the pail.
She again drank , then forced him ti
take another swallow ; and that pall gc
lug from ono to the other amused them
Suddenly he'nskod himself If ho ough
not to Hcizj her in hia arras and kiss ho
upon the lips. She had fnll lips of pal
rose color , heightened by the coal , whlcl
tempted him with an increasing passion
bet no dared not , ho iras abashed befon
hor. InLUllo ho had only bad the lowes
kind of glrle , ignorantftuch as ono wonli
expect to mate with a workman.
"You're about fourteen , are you not ?
ho asked , after going back to his bread
She was surprised and somewhat an
ey-
ey"How much ? Four ! eon 1 Why , I'n
sixteen ! Ii's true , I'm not very largo
The girls here don't grow much. "
Ho continued to question her ; eh <
apoico of everything without boldness 01
8Uara ° . Though she was not Ignorant o
anything pertaining to man and woman
ho Instinctively perceived die was of vlr
ijln purity. When ho upokoof Mouqnetto
to embarrass her , she related some dread
Fnl stories her quiet voice becoming ani
mated. Ah ! that ono had done som :
loir bio things ! And when ho asked hei
if she had not a lover , aho answered pl y <
Fully that aho did not whh to annoy he :
mother , but that -would come some day
Her clothing , wet with perspiratit-n ,
: aiued her to shiver tllghtly. She
ihrngpod her shoulders in n resigned
nannur ao though ready to do anything ,
"They don't lack loven when they live
ill together , do they ? "
"No indeed. "
"Then that don't hurt any ono. Tuej
iDedn't toll the priest. "
"Ohl thn priest , I don't care for him
But there's ' the bhck man. "
"What black man ? '
" 111o old minor who comes back in the
nine ) and wrings the necks of the bad

Ho looked at her , fearing she was rank-
tig L'amo of him.
"Do you bollevo that nontonto , dou'i
'On ' know anything ? ' '
"Of courseI hnow how to road nnd
rrlto. That's very useful in our house ,
or in my father's and mothor'u tlrao
hey didn't learn Mich things. "
She was certainly very uloo. When
ho finished her sl'cacf broad he wtuld
ako her la hia arras and kiss ber on her
arge rosy llpa. It was a timid rceolu-
lou , a thought of violence , which mndo
lira slightly uncomfortable. Thojo
toys' clothes on that girlish form made
ilin feel nciossy. Ho swallowed his last
nouthful , and again drinking from the
in pall ho ga.vo It to her to empty. Now

For some ilmo Chuval bad been watch-

ilmsolf that Mahon was not looking bo
amu forward , and seizing Gatharlno by

0 cover her mouth with a bratal kiss ,
ranqnllly aflectlng not to have seen
Vnton. In that klsa there was a taking
lossoeslon a sort of jealous decision.
Bat the young girl was disgusted.
J'Leave mo alone , will you ! "
Ho held up her ) > ? ad , looklcg straight
nto her oyoa. His red mustache and

vhllo his big unee aloud out like the beak
if an eagle. At lust ho looaoutd her ,

Anton was seized with a chill. It wai
tnpld to liuvo waited. Ilei could not

hat ho wished to treat her like that

1 ri'frl despair.
