ClIAlTKlt XIII ,
It was the last Sunday in July , the day
of tlio "Ducasso do Monston. " On Sat
urday the good housekeepers had washed
their rooms , with pail after pail of wa
ter thrown with gioat rapidity upon the
hearth and against the walls. The lloor
was not yet dry , in spile of the while
sand wild which thcynad sprinkled il ,
an expensive luxury tor Ilio purses of the
poor. The day commenced very warm ,
with one of those lowering , heavy skies
loretolling si thunderstorm , which in
summer , deluged , drowned those flat
countries of HID noitlt.
At Million's they io > o later on Sunday.
This morning after smokinga pipe in Ins
garden , the lather entered the house to
I'ut n slice of bread and butter all alone
\\lido waiting for the others to comedown
down stairs. Ho passed the morning not
knowing how to occupy his timo. Ho
mcndoiitho leaky tub , and put up under
the clock a picture of the Prince Imperial
which some ono had given the little ones.
At lust the others cumo down , one by one.
Old Bonnemort look out n chair to sit in
the sun ; the mother and Al/.iio busied
themselves with preparing the morning
meal. Catherine appeared with Lcnoio
and Ileury , whom site had just dressed.
Klovon o'clock struck ; the odor of rabbit ,
stowing with potatoes , was already
Idling the house , when Xachario and
Jolmnio came down at last , their eyes
swollen and still yawning.
All the alloy was astir , while in holiday
attire they hastily ate their dinners and
started for Montson. Bands of children
played around the doors : men , in their
shiit sleeves lounged about lazily enjoy
ing the day of rest. The windows and
doors wide open , gave n view of all the
rooms with their occupants , while the
hum of noisy voices floated out upon the
warm air. And" from one of the alleys to
the other the smell of rabbit contended
that day with tlio odor of fried onions.
The Millions dined at 13 o'clock. They
look no part in the uoiso outside. For
Ihroo weeks they hud boon on bad terms
with their neighbors the Lovaqitos on
the subject of the marriage between
Xachurio and Philomonc. The men were
friendly but Ilio women refused to roc-
ogin/o eaoh other. This quarrel had in
creased the intimacy with Mrs. Peters.
But the latter , leaving her husbandmoth
er and little Lydic , had set out early in
the morning to pass the day with a , cousin
at Marchionncs. The neighbors joked
over this for they know that cousin. She
was tiio superintendent of the Vulture.
Mrs. Muhon declared il was not right to
IC.WK her tamify on thu "Ducasso" Sun
day.
j"n addition to the rabbit , which they
had fattened in Ihn coop for n month ,
and Iho potatoes , Mahon had a rich , beef
sou ] ) . 1 ho day before was pay day.
They never remembered having such a
treat. Even at the lust Sainto-Barbo ,
that fcto of the miners when they do
nothing for three days , the rabbit hud
not been so fat or so lender. The ion
sets of teeth , Irom those of Kstollo which
hud commenced to push through to old
Bonneniort with his few remaining
stumps , worked with such vigor that the
bones themselves disappeared. It was
good , but would bo digested badly , be
cause they saw it so raiely. Nothing ie-
mumed for the evening but a piece of
boded moat. So that they could add
some sliccsof bread and butler if hungry.
Johnnie was the lirst to disappear.
Boboi t was waiting for him on the other
side ol the garden. Lydic managed to
slii ) away Irom Mrs. Brnlo , who hud do-
out d not to go out and to konp the child
with her.
When she found that the litllo ono hud
gone , she screamed with rugo , while
Peters , annoyed by this outburst , quietly
wont otl'tor a stroll.
-Finally Bonnemoit started forth , nnd
Mahon also decided to take the air , attor
having hrit asked his wife if she would
go w th him. But she could not. it was
real dgiulgory with the little ones : per
haps later on she could join him. Onl-
sitio , ho hosilatod , then entered his
neighbor's house to sco if Lovnquo was
reuiiy. Thoru ho found Zaohuno wait
ing lor Pliilomene ; and her mother again
begun on the eternal subject of tlieir
niiirringo , saying tlmt they imposed on
her , she must have another talk with
Mrs. Mahon. Was it right to keep her
daughter without a husband and thu
children without a father ? Philomono
quietly put on her hat and Kachnriu led
her away , saying that ho was willing
whenever his mother was. Muhon told
them to talk to his wife and ho also
wont ol ) ' . Bonteloup , who was eating a
piece of cliousu with both elbows on thu
table , obstinately refused his oiler of a
drink. He preferred remaining at homo.
Bv degrees the alloy wns vacated , all
the men going oil' alone , ono behind thu
other , wlulu the girls walked away loan
ing on thu arms of their lovers. When
her father had turned the church corner.
Cathurlnu , perceiving Chaval , luistoneil
to join him , tuking.tlio road to Monston.
Thu mothers rumainod alone among tlioir
disorderly children , not having the
strength to loavu their chairs , and pour
ing out cup after cup of Goll'oo which
they drank in little swallows ,
Mahon , thinking that Lovuquo was at
l'Avantage , slowly wont oft' toward Has-
Honour's , In the garden behind thu shop
Lnvnquu wns ono of a party nt skittles ,
lionnuinort nnd old Moqnu stood by
watching thu balls , so much absorbed
that they could not keep their thoughts
to themii'lvcs , A burning sun shonu
down , and the only spot of shadu was
aioug thu tavern , where Anton sat nt a
table drinking his beer , weary 9f the
book which Jonviirino had lout him to
tnktt iin in his room. Thu mnchinist
spent almost ovcry Sunday reading and
writing.
1 Won't you play ? " said Lovaquo to
Mahon.
But thu latter refused. Ho wns warm
and almost dying of thirst.
"Itiihicnuiir ! ' called Anton , "bring us
n drink. " '
And then turning toward Muhon :
"This drink is with me. "
Kassunuur seemed to bu In no hurry.
They called three times , and then it was
Madame who , with her polite air , carried
out thu wuim , insipid boor. The young
man complained ot the houso. They were
good people , no doubt , biitthuirbeer was
bud und'the soup cxccrnblo. Hu would
have changed bib boarding-houso long
ago , if he hud not dreaded the walk to
and fiom Montson. Souio day hu would
try to find a Inmily in thu 'alley to taku

Htitlrtttghs broke out. Lovnquo hnd
won the game. Moquo and Honnoinort ,
with their noses townrd the ground , in
the midst of till the tumult , maintained
tltcfiloncoof perfect dignijy. The laughs
grow louder , ns they perceived nbovo the
hedge , whleh surrounded the garden , the
grout jolly fnco of Moquctte , who had
heon l.\lng there for nn hour , nnd wns
emboldened to nppronch on hearing the
nol e.
"Howls it you're alone ? " cried Lo-
ynntie. "Where's jour beiiu ? "

looking for one. " They all oll'erod them
selves , but. with a shako of the head , sliu
refused , laughing loudly. Her father ,
meanwhile , had not taken his eyes from
tho'bnlls.
" ( lo for him , " continued Levnquo ,
throwing a glance toward Anton. "Hut
I don't think ho ' .
wants you , 1115' girl.
You'll linvtj to get him by force. "
Anton laughed , shaking his head ,
amused , but not having thu leiiil wish to
make Itn e to hor. For home minutes she
remained behind the hedge , watching
him with her great , dull o\os , ; then she
slowly went away , her fnco suddenly
sobered , ns though overcome by the hoi
In a low voice , Anton had resumed the
explanations which ho was giving to Ma-
lion upon the neecssit.\ for the coat min
ors of jMontson to establish nsuving fund.
"Tho company pretends to leave ns
free , " ho .said. " " 'Whntdo you fear ? I
know it gives pensions , but they are only
according to their own fancy , without
nny rofcrciico to our needs. Now , it
would bo prudent to form a mutual aitl
association , upon which wo could atleast
count in case of homo immediate want.
And ho entered into details , discussing
the organization , nnd promising to taku
upon liimsolf all the labor.
"I'm with you , " said Mahon , finally.
"If you can only get the others. "
Mahon refused to take n second drink ;
they would POO each other later ; the
tltiy was not over yet. Ho hnd been
thinking of Peters , where could ho boV
no doubt nt the smoking-room , nt the Kn-
fant , and Lovuque , Anton ami himself
sot out for Montson just ns a now party
of mon begun a game of skittles.
First they entered the saloon of Ca.ssa-
mio , then the ono called the Progris.
Some comrades culled them from the
open door , and , iinnblo to say no , they
went in. SSueh time it was a beer , two
if they retuined tlio drinks They re
mained in each place ton minutes , ex
changing n. few words nnd then going
auay. At the Infant they found Peters ,
who hud linished hit , second drink , and ,
rather than lofusu to touch glasses , wus
hiking n third. Naturally , they drunk
there also , and went ofl'to see if/uchurio
wns not nt thu saloon Tison. Tlintioom
was empty ; tho.y "cullcd for boors , saying
they would wait : i while tor him. Finally
they thought of the tavern Saint Elvi ;
they accepted tlieio u round ot diinks
fiom the superintendent , Richmond ,
niiil- alter that , they went Irom saloon lo
suloon without purpose , merely for u
stroll.
"Left go to the Volenn ! " said Levaquo ,
suddenly. And so they accompanied
their comrade into tlm niulsl of the lively
crowd of 11 fete day. In the long ,
straight room of tho' Volean , upon n
stagu erected at the lower end , live cafe
singers , the trash ot Lille , were singing
songs. All the youths of the mine were
gathered there , drinking moro gin than
beer. A few old minors weie also seated
at the lubles , laughing at the rough jokes.
As soon _ as their party wus grouped
around : i little table , Anton took posses
sion of Luvuqtie , explaining to him the
saving fund. He had the firm faith of
a new convert who feels ho has a mission
lo perform.
lach ] member , ho explained , could
well give twenty sous a month. With
this sum in four or live years Ihcy could
have a great capital , and when they had
money they would be strong , would they
not ? no mutter what happened. Well ,
what did ho .think of it ?
"I don't know. " replied Lovifquo , with
an absent air. ' 'Wo 11 talk over ir "
IIo w.is interested in a largo blonde ,
and anxious to remain , when iMuhon and
Potor. > . after having drunk moro boor ,
wished to go without wuiting lor u second
end song.
Outside , Anton saw Moquctto who
seemed to have lollowud them , bho wus
always watching li.ni with her dull eyes.
Hut the young man laughed al her , and
she wont oil'in a passion.
"Where's Chavalv" asked Peters.
"I gnoss he's at the Piqnotto , " said
Mahon. "Lei's go there.
When they arrived at the Piquetfe the
sound of a light niudo llicm panic. Xuoli-
aric was threatening to strike a little na.l
maker , while Chuvul , with h s hands in
Jus pockets , looked on.
1 btop' ' heio s Chuvul , " said Mahonniii-
clly. "Ilo'.s with Cutherino. "
The girl and Her lover hud been walk-
jug Iho streets for live hours. In Iho boil
ing sun , along Iho Monston ro.ul , a con-
stunt stream of people moved on liku u
train ot busy ants From the dry black
earth Hie dust arose in lieuvy clouds. At
each side of tlio ro.ul , with open dooi > ,
thu saloons invited ono to enter , uhilu
tables were ningud tii fur as the pave
ment , beloro which street-vein lors ds- ,
playing , their w.iros , Imndkerciiiofs , c.ips
and mirrors for girls and knives lor Iho
boys , while bon-bons and c.ikos were too
numerous to mention. Huloro the church
they weru slaying archery ; at thu coal
yards u guinu ot spittles wis : going on ;
and on the road to Joisclles , in an in
closed lot , they cumo upon a cook-light.
Thuro were two big , rod cocks , armed
with iron spurs , torn by whloh the throat
of onu was bloodng. Further on ,
at Muigrat'.s house , ihoy were playing
'
chequers and billiards. Thu crowd'was
gutting bloated fiom Iho ellbcts of hour
and thu intoiiso heat , increased by the
puns of boiling fat in which potatoes
were frying.
Ohnviil bought a mirror for seventeen
sous and a handkerchief for three francs ,

that they lull buck and expired. The

Million , on arriving witli liis parly ,
quieted Catherine mil Philomeiio , who

In his turn , Million paid for the drinks.

was a counter and some tables , cui a level
wjth the great ball room , and ti great hall
with a wooden dancing lloor. Two gar
lands of paner tlowor.s were stretched
from onn end of the ceiling to the other ,
united at the center by a bunch of the
same design ; while hanging on tlio wall
were seine picture. * in gilt frames ; Saint
Kloi , tutelar saint of the iron men ; Saint
Barbo , patron of the miners , and others.
The coiling was so low that the three mu
sicians , in their little g.illcrv , were
obliged to bend their heads. Coal oil
lamps were hung at the four corners of
the room.
This Sunday they began dancing while
the daylight was ycl entering thiongli
the open , windows. But at seven o'clock
tlio rooms tilled up. A storm was rising ,
blowing up great black clouds of dust ,
blinding tlio people and covering every
thing. Muhon , Anton and Peters ch

Neither L-'vaqno nor Xacliarfe h-ul re

ball room , after each dance. Catherine
seated herself at the table with her fatli-
or They called Pliilomeno , but siio pro-
lerred to remain where she was. It be
gan to grow dark. The three musicians
were doing their be.st , but nothing was
longer visible but tlio moving tiiruresot
the dancers. A shout welcomed t ic four
lumps ; suddenly all .shone out upon tlm
rod and perspiring laces. Million , laugh
ing , pointed out to Anton , Moqncttn who
was v alt/ing in the arms ot big Wheel

At a o'clock MIN. Mulion appear * d

"Sit down , neighbor , " s.iid she , on

band was drinking with Anton and
Peters.
"Mv man is not with yon , is he ? " asked
Mrs. Lovaqno.
Putting the two tables together thev all

Jn the midst of all that noise , in a whis
