CIlAlTKH Till.
Tlio nest day and the days followin ,
Anton resinned his labors at tlio nil no
Ilo became accnslompd to tlio work aw
tlio'now habits , whieli had seemed sc
hard to him at first. Before n half inontl
was over , ho was sie/.ed with a fovo
whieh racked his limbs , wliilo with heat
as though on fire ho dreamed in a lial
delirium that ho was determinedly push
ing Ids car to the end of a passage so nar
row that his body could not enter. I
was simply extreme lassitude from hi
apprentieesliip , an excfcss of fatigno fron
wliieli lie soon recovered.
Tiio days followed cacii other ; weeks
months glided by. Now , like his com
fades , he rose at three o'clock , drank hi
coll'uo and wont oil ) carrying his slice o
bread und ] butter , which Miidamo Hasso
nenr had prepared for him the day bo
, foro. Kvery morning on ids way to tin
mine , lie mot old lionnomort who wa
going homo to rest , while , on leaving it
ho met liontcloiiu. He wore si blouse am
breeches like his companions , and .sliiv-
ored witli cold and warmed his back a
tiio waiting room before tlio great lire
Then came tlio wall ! in bare feet.throngl
tlio chilling air , to tlio superintendent's
ollico. His attention was no longer at
tracted by tlio engine , shining out in llio
darkness witli Us copper and steel , the
cables Hying so silently , like birds in tli
' night , the cages ceaselessly going up am
down amid tlio uproar of the signals am
tlio cars rolling over the flagging. His
lamp burned badly , that confounded
cleaner hud not washed it , but ho
smiled good natnrcdly as Moquol
slapped him on the back. The cage being
ing unhooked , fell like a stone at tlio bottom
tom of tlio shaft , without his even turning
his head to see tlio daylight pass away
Ho bad never thought such a fall po.ssi-
blo , but ho became more and moro accus
tomed to that descent in the darkness un
der a bcatingshower. Below , in tlio main
room , when Peters had let them out with
his air of hypocritical meekness there
was stamping of feet as the miners wont
oil' , with lagging step , each to his own
drift. Ho now knew tlio galleries of tlio
mine better than the street * of Houston ,
knowing when to turn , when to stooj ;
and where to avoid a stream of water.
Ho had been so accustomed to those miles
under groiin'd that lie could have walked
without a lamp , his hands in his pockets.
Each day hu-mot the same pcopurm thu
passage ; an overseer lighting up the faces
of the workmen , old \Moqiin leading a
borsu , Robert driving Ltataillc who was
snorting , Johnnie runniugbohind a train
of cars to shut , llio ventilating doors , and
little L > die pushing her car.
Anton sull'ored less , both from tlio
dampness and the conlined air of the
drift ; oven his suction of tlio mine seemed
less dillicnlt ; ho would push through
crevices where in olden times ho would
not have risked his hand , The coal dust
no longer obstructed his breathing , see
ing clearly in the night , perspiring free
ly , lie Inia become accustomed to work
ing from morning until night , wet to tlio
skin. No moro .strength was awkwardly
wasted. He became u good workman so
quickly IhatiiiU were tihtonjshcd. At the
end of three weeks ho was culled one of
the best pushers , in llio mine -none rolled
his car to the incline more quickly than
he or packed it moro correctly. His
beautifully formed arms , white as a wo
man's , possessed an iron strength. His
manliness restrained complaint , oven
though almost dead wilh fatigue. They
only reproached him for his unwilling
ness to take a joke. Ho was regarded ,
'lowovor.us a true miner , who , like them ,
from the force of habit , iiad become as a
machine.
Amonj * ' them Malion especially re
spected Anton as one who never slighted
his work. And , like tlio others , he felt
that this boy was his superior ; lie saw
him read , write and even draw designs ,
while he talkgd of things even of tliu ex
istence of which they wore ignorant.
That did astonish him much ; minors
were rough men. with harder heads than
machinists ; but he was surprised at life
courage of this boy , his coolness in ac
cepting ids fate rather than die of hun
ger , lids was the lirst man ho had
known to so quickly fall into the ways of
tlio mine. When tlio propping was
urgent and lie did not wish to disturb a
minor , ho assigned the work of timber
ing to him , certain of ita correctness and
solidity. The chiefs wore always tor
menting him about that cursed work ;
every indtnont ho feared to see the engi
neer , Megrel , appear , followed by Dun-
saort. Iho propping of his pusher
scorned to satisfy thuso gonllomon Letter ;
in spite of their di&aatished aira and their
remarks , that ono of those days the com
pany would take radical measures.
Thosn tilings doyoloped u slow discon
tent throughout thu mine. Even Malion.
ordinarily so calm , came to the point of
shaking Ids list.
At lirst u rivalry sprung up between
Zaoharlo and Anton , and onu evening ,
on coming to blows , the latter was the
victor ; but tlio former , showing no ill
will immediately ofl'ered him a drink ,
Kvon Lovuquo , professing the same po
litical views , had ; now become friendly
to him. Hut he still felt n great hostil
ity toxyurd Chuvul , . . . , no coldness hud
sprung up between -'thorn , on tlio con
trary they had become comrades ; only at
times , oven while joking with each other
a ulance of hatred paused between them ,
Spring had come. One day , on going
from thoblwft , Anton felt upon his cheek
the warm wind of April , and soused tlio
good smull of fresh earth , green Holds ,
and pure air. Now each day the balmy
.spring nir warmed him more and more
after Ids ten hours of labor in eternal
winter , amid that dump darkness which
oven summer could not dissipate. Tiio
lays passed by. In May ho descended at
ninriso , when the gray dawn brightened
nto vermilion lints , lighting up the Vul
ture witli misty rays of crimson ami

Now , IKS Anton walked forth in tlio
evening , it , was no longer behind tlio old
ruins thnt lie mirprise.il tlio lovers , Ho
could follow Ilium ! u * the unobstructed
whoiil Holds. Znulinrlo and I'hilomeno
had rottirncd to their old trvstingphico ,
while old inotltor llrulo vainly sought the
hiding phiou of Johnnie nnd Lydic in the
moving grain ; and t\a for Moqunlto , ono
could not truvorso n 1'mld without seeing
her bend rising from the stalks. Twice

Then that , immunsu iiluin f-eisineil lee

" ( lvi > mo a drink , Madsune KassentMir.
I won't go out , this evening ; I'm tired. "
And ho turned toward n comrade ,
seated nt tlio end of tlio room , his head
against tlie wall.
"Won't you take something , Jouva-
rino ? "
"No , thank you , nothing nt all. "
Anton had become acquainted with
.Touvarino ; ho lived in the same lionso.
Ho was a. maoliinist at the Vnltiiro , who
occupied tins room noxt. to his , nnd was
nbout thirty years of ago , a. slender
blonde , with n line liond , covered with
splendid hair , nnd n thin benrd. His lit
tle , white pointed teeth , his .small mouth
and nose , with a pink und while 'com
plexion , gave liim n girlish look and an
air of earele-sH amiability ; but the palo
relleetion of his steel gray eyes at. timo.s
Hashed liereely. His scantily furnished
chamber contained a puso ot books and
papers. Ho was a Hitssian , and his reti
cence in manner gave rise to thu suspic
ion , on the part of his fellow-workmen
that , with his little gentlemanlike hands ,
ho belonged to a higher class ; perhaps
bo was .an adventurer or an assiiMti ,
eluding punishment , lint then * he had
proved to bo t > o friendly , giving to the
children in the alley all the sons from his
pockets , that they accepted him asn com
rade , reassured l y the words "political
refugee" which had boon circulated ,
thobo vague words in which they saw an
excuse oven for crime.
The fir.it week. Anton had found him
reservedalmost liereo. Ho did not know
his history until much later. Jouvuniio
was thu last horn of a noble iamily of
Tonia. At St. Peter.sbnrg when lie had
studied medie'nc.tho Hociali * ! rage which
carried away all the Russian youths had
decided him to become a mechanic ,
mingle with tlio people , and so on and
aid them as a brother , liy that exper
ience ho was able to live now , having
lied alter an attempt on the life of the
emperor. For a month lie had lived m
the hut of a fruiterer. Disowned by his
family , without money , marked ns a
strai-ger on tiio books oi all too French
workshops , they thought him a spy , ami
he was dying of hunger when the ISIon-
stpn company employed him in an hour
of need. Ho hail labored there for a
year , a. good workman , sober and silent ,
working alternately day and nignt , so
faithfully that the ehiuls pointed to him
as an example.
"Are yon never thirsty ? " said Anton ,
laughing.
He replied in a sweet voice , almost
without accent :
"I am thirsty when I eat. " Them his
companion joked him about tlio girls ,
swearing he had seen him walking with
ono a lew nights before. He snrugged
his shoulders , Idled willi calm mdiiicr-
eneo. "No , " lie wished no shackles ,
neither woman nor friend.
Every evening about nine o'clockwhcn
the saloon was empty , Anton remained
there to talk to Jonvarino. Ho drank his
beer in little swallows while tuo other
continually .smoked cigarettes , tlio nicotine
tine from whieli ! in.l ; Mninc < UiKdulionto )
nngors. His thodghtlul eyc.s1'scemed'to '
follow the smoke as thoiign in a dream ,
while , to prevent the aimless fumbling oi
his left baud , he invariably too. ; upon tiis
knees a tame rabbit thai , had ( lie freedom
ot the IIOUMJ. Uho rabbit , which he had
named 1'ologne , was greatly attacaed to
him , and would stand creel , scratcliing
him With her paws until ho too * her up
like an intant. tiho nestled up to him ,
her cars turned over , shutting her eyes ,
while without cause , almost , unconscious
ly caressing her , he pus.cd his Hand over
her gray silky skin , calmed by the pros-
eneo ot that living warmlli.
"Do you know , " said Anton ono evening -
ing , " 1 ve received another JiJlier irom
Plucliart. " ' 1'hiii'e was no onO tiiero but1 1
Hassonenr. The last customer had jii t
lelt , returning to the alley where every
one was retiring lor the night.
"Ah ! " cried Hie landlonf , standing be
fore his two lodgers. "What tlou.s lie
bay 7"
l-'or two months Anton had been car
rying on a regular correspondence with
the machinist at Lille , wnom iie had : it
Iii-ht mtonncd of his engagement at Hou
ston mid who had subsequently desired
that ho should lorm a bocioty from the
oMoiKston miners.
"Ho says that t lie association .goes on
very well. It seems that they conquer on
all .sides. "
"What do yon think of the idea ? " said
Rasseiieur to Jonvanue. ,
The latter , who was tenderly scratch
ing Cologne's head , emitted a cloud of
smoke and said wilh his calm air : I
"Foolishness. "
Hut Anton grow angry. Ho wished to
form n branch of the International .As
sociation of Workmen , that famous "In
ternational" which hail-just been estab
lished in London , "Was not this the
country for such an ofl'ort , where justice
would at last triumph ! ' " In all parts of
the world organizations of this kind were
being established , to secure the huvtul
demands of thu workmen. What a sim
ple yet grand society ; lowest of nil the
section whieli represented thu commune ;
above that thu federation ; then the prov
ince which grouped the sections ; dtill
higher thu nation : and.abovu all , human
ity , incarnated in a general council
where each nation is represented by a
corresponding secretary. In six months
they would conquer thu world , they
would dictate laws to all industries , reg
ulating universal labor.
"Foolishness , " repeated Jonvarino ,
"I've talked that matter all over. Vonr
Karl Marx is willing Unit this matter
should govern itselt and thu only con
certed oliort should bo with reference to
increasing thu wages of workinginen. 1
do not believe in your ideas. Hum
everything ; crush the people ; annihilate
alland ; , when nothing remains of this
rotten world , perhaps , from ita ruins , n
better one will arise. "
Anton commenced laughing. Ho did
not al ways listen to the words of his com
rade. This tiling of distinction boomed
to him futile. Kassonuur , still more
practical , and witli thu knowledge of an
experienced man , did not oven comic-
scund to become angry.
"Thon you're going to attempt tea form
a branch in Monston , are yourJ
That was what 1'luehart , who was sec
retary of the federation of the north , de
sired. Ho particularly dwelt on thu as
sistance thu association would be to tin
miners , if they wereto strike. Antoi
thought a great deal of thu coining
strike ; the aiiair nbout timbering would
end badly ; It needed only a very slight
act of injustice on the part of the com
pany to arouse nil thu miners.
"Tlio great trouble is the dues , " said
.Kas.sonour in a cont' nphitlvu tone
"Fifty centime1 } n your fi- the genera
funds , und two franks t > ' the section
hut does not seem like n iythingr but
am sure many would refuse to give it " '
'yomiich thu more reason wny u'eshoiil-
have n saving tund , " said Anton , "it
flmc to Ihink of nil this. I'm ready , if
llio others nro. "
'I hero wns n sllcnco. The oil lamp on
the box was smoking. Through the open
door , they distinctly heard the sound of
n fireman engaged. ju replenishing the
fnrnnco. \ V
"H\crything is so dear , " rpplipd Ma
dame Hafspneur , who had entered and
was listening with a gloomy air , so state
ly in her eternal black dress. "Would
you believe that I have paid twenty-two
sous for eggs ? 'J'lds cannot last.
This time the threTo men were of Iho
same mind. Tlidy1 spoke ono nftor tlio
other in. n despairing tonq , and com
plaints fell fast. Tlio workman could
not stand this ; the revolution only in
creased his misery ; since ' 8 ! tlio owners
were rolling in wealth , leaving the
miners to feel the pinching * of poverty.
If tlio workmen "had been permitted to
share in the profits of the last hundred
years things would have been diU'crent.
It was absurd to call thorn free ; yes , free
to dlo of hnngorwhilo they denied them-
Helves nothing. It did not put bread in
tin ) cifpbourd to vote for men who would
, tike : their case without thinking moro of
their people than of their old boots.
This stale of tilings should end. The
children ought to bo able to see that , if
, the old people could .not ; this century
iwould not end without another revoln-
lion , tiiis time of thu workmen , a battle
whieli would clean away society from
high to low , , and rebuild It witli moro
propriety and justice.
. "This must end , " repented Madame
Uassenour , energetically.
"Yes " cried all three "it
, yes , , must
und. "
, Jouvarino was stroking I'ologno's oars ,
whoso nose was curled up witi | pleasure.
Ho said in a low voice , wilh eves lost in
the distance , as if speaking to "himself :
, "Inoreaso the salaries. Why they are
fixiul by an inexorable lawnt the smallest
possible sum , just enough to allow the
workmen to eat dry bread. If they fall
too low , the workmen die , and the de
mand for now workmen make them rise
again. If they go up too high , tholos-es
nre so miichirreatcr that ! hey drop again.
] t is the equilibrium of empty stomachs , ,
the perpetual condemnation to a fate
like that of the galley slave. "
When ho forgot himself in thnt. . way ,
' approaching some subject of socialism ,
I Anton and Kasseneiir became uneasy ,
troubled by bis lugubrious remarks , io
whieli they could not respond.
I "Listen , " hiM'osumod in his usual calm
manner ; "it will bo necessary to destroy
'
ail non-producers. Yes , even to batli'e
the earth in blood , to purify it , by lire. "
"Monsieur is right , ' said Madame Has-
senuur , who , in her Ills of revolutionary
excitement , became very polite.
Anton , in dispair at his ignorance , did
not wisli to discuss tlio matter further.
He arose , saying :
"Let us go to bed. All this cannot re
lieve me from gottingup at three o clock. "
I i ilouvarine , with one last pull'at his
cigarette , arose , tenderly placing tno
rabbit on the lloor. Has.soneur closed no
the house and they all ascended the stairs
in silonjio , their ears buying , their heads
swelling witli the great questions wliicn
had so stirred them.
Every evening there was .some such
conversation in the bar-room , over tint
cup which it took Anton an hour to
i empty. The more ho talked tno greater
his anxiet3r became1 \ solve this vexed
problem. For a long time ho hesitated
about borrowing some books from h s
.neighbor , who , nnhnppily.posscsscd litt u
"
but English anil "llussian works. At
length he proeitred from him a few
books upon tlur co'operntive system ,
more foolislme ; , ai : Jouvnrino said.
i Every week he nvid'u ' paper received by
the latter. The Combat , an anarchist
sheet published al , Uonova. Jn spite of
nil that he read on the subject , he could
not arrive at any ! definite conclusion as
to the value of any of the tneories ad
vanced. , . -
It was toward Iheoniddlo of July thnt
Anton began the study of this subject.
His monotonous life wasinlqrrupplod by
an accident ; theltwurkinen in tnevem _
William came upon a strange sight in tiio
bed , which mdicntnd the [ ire-sence of a
dyke , and , in fact , tlttsy soon encountered
a formation of which the engineers , in
spite ot their experience in such mat
ters , were still ignorant. It traversed
tno mine ; they only spol.o of the disap
pearing vein ; without doubt it ran down
on the other side of the.dykc.
Like hounds following the scent of a
fox , the old miners apprehended danger.
"
\\liilowaitingtliediggers couM not re
main idle ; And some placards announced
tnat thu company would open some new
'
drills.
Ono day , on leaving tlio inino. Wahon
led Anton aside and ollered to 'Mnploy
him as a m.ner . in place of Leyaqne , wn'o
had gone over to another drift. The af
fair had already been arranged witu t.io
overseer and tne engineer , \ \ ho were well
sat.s.ied with the young man. ho Anton
accepted I he sudden nuyancemcnt happy
at the growing esteem in which Million
held hmi.
't hat evening they again returned to
Hie mini ) to read thu placard. ' 1 he drati.s
lor employment worn loiiml to be in tne
vein Fillonieru , in tno norm gallery 7 > f
the Vulture. They seemed of little ad
vantage ; ttio old miner shook his head as"
the young man read to him tne condi
tions. The day after , when they descend
ed nnd went to look at the vein , he called
attention to lliu distance from the main
chamber , theinseciir.ty of the ground and
thu Ih n but tough layers of coal , ilia if
one wished to eat it was necessary to
work. Ko , on the followingMunday/tliey
went together to lite wile , which was to
take place in the wailing room. 'J lie
mine engineer , assisted by the superin
tendent , presided in the absence of the
engineer of tlio division. Five or six
hundred coal-miners were there in front
of thu little platform , built in tiie corner ,
und the sale began in sneh u tumult that
ono only heard a number of voices , while
some figures wore called out , only to bo
superseded by others ,
At lirst Million feared ho would not bo
able to obtain ono of the four driftsoU'ered
by the company. All the competitors
were uneasy nt the cries , seized with
fright by the cessation of labor. The en
gineer , Migrel , was anxious to obtain the
lowest liguro possible , while Datisaort ,
desirous of hastening the nfhVir , lied about
tlio excollencoof the bargain. To obtain
IUH IfiU feet , Million was compelled to
light ngajnst a comrade , who also became -
came uxeited ; they each bid a cuntimo a
car ; but tlio superintendent , Richmond ,
beeiimu angry , baying it could never bo
let nt that price.
On leaving , Anton ? \voro , nnd ho broke
out before ( Jhavn ! wip ( was going to stroll
with Catharine in'thd ' wheat lields while
her fathur occupied bluisolf with the ser
ious attains , f ' '
"Groat heavonsT''ho" ! exclaimed , "now
tlio workmen nro eyon forped to devour
each other. " ]
Cliavnl How into n passion ; ho would
never lower himself to that , nnd JM-II
Znohario , out of Byniputhy , declared it
was d sjniHting Hut Anton silenced
them with n viploijt-gtjstnro.
"This shall cndjrtvo Mil bo masters ono
dnv. "
Million who hiuCroUjained silent since
the sale , seemed lo " rouse himself , Ho
$ '
repeated ; .
"Musters ? Well , iUnan't bo too soon. "

Pittsburgh Dispatch : A ratlior tall and
decidedly thin man , witli a prominent ,
hooked nose and u complexion like that
of u cigar-store Indian , walked nervously
up and down ( lie Union depot platform
last night as lie waited for a train cast. .
Though lithe and active in ids movement
as u boy , ho was evidently on tlio shady
sulo of 00. His stovepipe hat was a In-
lie r..sty , and hisshortgruy side-whiskers
and mustache shone put from their old
copper background like a white cat on a ,
back-yard fence.
"Are you Prof. J. Vcsay ? " asked a
telegraph boy with u message in his
hand.
"lam , "said the old gentleman , as ho
lore open tlio envelope and dismissed tlio
messenger.
"There is an order which would fiocm
rather .strange to most traveling men , "
the old man said , turning lo a Dispatch
reporter.
The reporter took the message and read
as follows :
"No. 1,114 Vine Street , Now York.
Send fifty rattlesnakes at once. Large.

"Do you deal infcmikcsr" asked the re
porter.
"Only in rattlesnakes , " lie replied. " 1
have been engaged iji catching and soil
ing thorn for tlio past twelve or fifteen ,
years. "
"Whoro do von find customers ? "
"Woll , I Poll numbers of them to this
man Kobbe , who sends them to Germany
and olncr European countries , where
tncv are kept in glass cages uslu saloon
or noer-garuim attraction , us guinea pigs
are hero. Thou there is an old patent-
medicine man in Now York who buys a

iMiio man uses rattlesnake oil nsuspccific

things. 1 have sold eight , hundred this
i and have about as many more. "
"Where do you got them ? "
"Most of tho&o that 1 have handled this
voiir are from West Virginia , Uoono ,
Logan , and McDowell counties. About
throe hundred of them I caught myself ,
and the others I bought. "
"How do you catch them ? "
"Oh , there are a number of ways. Trm
most common way is to take tu > a l'orii > '
stick and creep up to U snake Minnin ;
, lniisolf. pin Inn flown just , back of tm

then 1 havn no trouble. "
"vou say you buy some of them ? "
"Yi-s. Tlio natives will catch them for
50 cents to § 1 apiece. J Mil them fo ;
considerable more , and rather buy then
tnan catch them myself. "
" \Wrii you over bitten by a rattler ? "
" Never but once , and that didn't
iiniount.to much , as I cauterized UK
wound at. unco. Though the venom of n
raltlfsntike is vorv poisonous , they an
cowardly , and will always got away i
they can. Then they alway.i warn you
