CHAl'lUU XXV.
At .lean-Hurt , Catherine for an hour
had been pushing her car ; und she was
.so covered with prospir.ition that she
Klonped for a moment to wipe herfnru !
r'rom the end of the drift , where ho
was at work witl sonie other comradcg ,
( . 'lii'Mil was astonished thut he no longei'i
liesird the sound of thu wheels , 'rim
lumps were burning badly , the coal dust
prevented him irom seeing.
"Wlntt'H this ? " cried he. When she
answered him that she was surely going
to melt , and tint her heart was feeling
quet'r ; ho at * wo vd her in nuger :
' Keel , do a'wf do , take oil' your shirt"
. They were two thousand teet ut the
north , in the first road of the vein Deal-
ree , whif.lt was two-thinls.of u mile from
the shtift-TtHmi. AVht-n lhe.y spoke of
that part of the mine tie ( miners oftthe
country paletl and lowered their voices
us though t he1 were speaking of hell ;
und thov contented thiMiiii'lvcs more
often with shaking of their heads , not.
wishing to talk of that hot region. As
the galleries went toward the north they
approached Tartarot , they pumUrntnd
into the interior lire , whieli coate.d the
rouks abovo. The drifts in whieli they
were now working had arrived tit a tem
perature of forty degrees. They found
themselves in a horrible underground
place , in the midst of the llamas which
the people overhead saw through the lis- '
Mires , and which emitted sulphur and
abominable vapors.
Mingled with her suflerings from the
beat , u great fear filled her. In the six-
days she worked there , she constantly
thought of the stories which had been
told her in childhood of those boys nnd
girjfi in oldeit times who had been HO
terribly p'unish'cd for their misbehavior.
Of course she was too old now to believe
such nonsense ; biitsho could not help. i
thinking what she would do if she were
to see a red-hot girl comu out of the
wall , and the idea made her pcrspiro still
more.
"Jleavons ! yon'ro niaklng yourself
comfortable , " said that woman , a alight
Widow _ of thirty 'years , when she saw
Catherine in the road.
After two trips , Catharine again became -
came suffocated. Happily the road wits
large ami commodious , 'that ' vein , Do-
sirco , boiii" one of the thickest in tin ;
mine. Tlio bed wns seventy ni'-tres
thick and the imln coiihl work standing.
Hut they would have preferred to work
with their necks twisted and to huvo a
little fresh air.
"Are you asleep down tliort"sprciimtl
Chitval , when lie no longer heard Cat ' :
urine moving. "Go on ; no , fill your o.ut
and roll. "
She was at the bottom of the shaft ,
leaning on her shovel ; and almost over
come , she looked ut him with an imbecile
air without obeying She saw badly in
the flickering rays of thu lumps , lint
they could Hi'o her for thu nicks ceased ,
anil they laughed at her for t.iking oil'
her blouse.
"Take care , you'll oatch cold. " . I
Catherine again began filling her car ,
then pushed it oil' . The road was too
largo for | ur to knock herself airainst the
sides. Her bare feet were twisted be
tween the rails seeking a Minport ; while
she slowly wont forward with tlio mus
cles of her arms still' , her back bunt. And
when she went along the wall her agony
was increased , the prespiration fell from
her whole body in enormous drops , like
the rain from a thunder storm , nnd film
arrived at the end of her journey blinded
and also covered with a black mud.
Wh'at was 'thu matter with her that
day ? She hud never felt such n giving
way in her bones. There must be some
bad air. That out of the way road was
badly aired at any ratn. They breathed
all sorts of iras which came out of the
coal with a little sound like the bubbling
nf a spring , so abundant sometimes that
tlio lamps refused to bunt , then there
was the lire-damp about whieli they no
longer troubled themselves , the whole
vein smelt of it from one day's end to
another. Situ knew it well , thut had air ,
that air of death as the miners called it.

Ho was afraid , to sec her so still. But

dying of the cold , ,
tening on her clothes.
She. ' had nuvcr known him to bo so
peed to her : for one kinll word ho aaid loner
nor , she received two harsh ones. A ten
derness penetrated her in her fallguosho ;
smiled on him tttid murmured :

himself out beside her while waiting for
her lo bo able In walk.
"You HPU , " she continued , "you wore

"Yes , " replied Chr-val , "of course we'd

It touched her to hear him speak so
kindly.
"Oh ! it is a bad placu. We'll
end up there sometime or other.
And then to-day the air i-i had.
But I won't bu any trouble to you. When
a person has to work they must do it ,

lie wan silent. With his arm thrown
around her hit held her to his breast to
prevent her from hiking cold. Although
HIO ! already felt the strength lo return , in
her delimit at his tondoiness 'she forgot
everything else. >
"Why can't you bo like this always ? '
Said hllO.
And us she Mill cried he cmbra'ced IirM

"You're crazy ! Yea..I swear , to be goot

She looked nt him and smiled. Per
haps no was right ; liupp.v women were
seldom heard of ; Then she gave hersell
up to the joy of seeing him amiable. If
it could only have lasted ! Suddenly
step : ) wore heard. Three comradc.i who
had so u them pass wore coming lo in
quire what was thu matter.
They went oft" together. It was almost
10 o'clock , and the men bad commenced
Jo cat their lunch. When ' they Had tin-
"islicd" this sandwich and worn about to
drink their cofl'ee , a rumbling noise wu :
heard coming from the distance. They
grow * nmJasy. "What " now ? Was this
another accident ? They till i ran oil" ,
minors passed them ewry second , ami
none know what was the matter. They
were all crying that it must be something
terrible , Little , by little tlo | entire mine
had become upset ; shadow tilled the gal
lery ; the lantern danced in the darkness.
WTioro was it ? Why did ndY iio tell
them ? i
Suddenly an ovcrsfcor passed them cry
ing :
' 'Tho cables arc. cut , the cables are
cut. "
Then Iho panic Increased. They ran
rapidly across the dark roads , almost out
of their minds.
Why had they cut the cables , and who
had cut them when the men were at the
bottom ? That u as monstrous. Hut the
voice of another overeeer broke out , then
became lost. The Monlson people cut
the cables.
When Chaval comprehended ho slopped
Catherine. The thought thai , ho would
meet the Monlson miners if ho went out ,
frightened him. So they had iconic , that
baud whom hu believed in the hands of
the gendarmes ! For an instant ho
thought of retracing his steps and going
up by thu ( laston-Marie , but as they no
longer worked there , he would liavo
needed some ropes. Ho swore , lillcil
witli fear , an ho said tlmt it was foolish to
run like that. Perhaps they were uotgo-
ing to leave them at the bottom.
The voice of the overseer was heard
coming nearer.
"To the ladders ! To the ladders ! "
And Ohaval. in spite of his msr.ii , wns
carried on with his comrades. Then the
panic sicxed him , he shoved Catherine ,
accusing her of not running fast enough.
Did she want them to stay in the mine
alone , to die of hunger ? for those rob
hers of Moutsoii were capable of break
ing the ladders , without wailing for the
people to conic out. That abominable
supposition drove them all distracted. In
the galleries were only a stream of lool ,
all trying to go up lirat. Crii-is broke out
that thu ladder was broken , that no one
could go tint. And when they com
menced lo pass by trightoiieil groups into -
to tlio shaft room , they throw tocinsvlvi-s
toward ( ho shall and hroUo in Iho lad-
'lei's ; while an old stableman ulio had
just prudently nut the her i > > buck hi ( hit
stable , watched tlic.so muiiith an air of
iiiieoiis > oiotis disdain , accustomed to thu
nights passed in the mine , certain that
someone would draw him out of it.
" ( Irent heavens ! Can't you ui tin front
of moV" cried Uhaval to CatTiorine ; " 1
can hold you , then , if you fall. "
.SulTbcatcd by that rim which had once
more covered her with perspiration , she
gave up and allowed hcrsulf to ho elbowed -
bowed about by Ihu crowd. Then ho
pulled her along by the arms , nearly
breaking them ; and her tears broke forlli
agtilp ; ho had already forgotten their
talk , she could never bu happy , t
"On on"screamedho ! '
; Ht
Hut. ho frightened her too much. Shu 1
resisted him and the throng of frightened 1i
people pushed them on onu side. The
water running down from the shaft fell
in great drops and thu floor of the shaft
room shook under thu stamping , trembling -
ling above the water-sump ton metres
deep where all the water collected , Two
years buforo at Jean-Hal t a tcrribln acci
dent had occurred ; a cable broke and
throw the cagu to the bottom of the
sumpiiind two men who wwo in ono of "
tlio oars worn jdrowned. Ami everyone
thought of it , on going tlioro when a
great number stood upon tlio boards
which planked it ovur.
"Mercv on me ! " cried ChflYfth ' . 'dio
then , I'll be frco. " ' ' :
Ho went on and she followed him.
Worn thu bottom to thu toplhWro were
hundred and two ladders , nearly twciii
ty fcut uach in length , each placed upon
straight landing ; the small opening
which led to them only just permitting
the passageof thoahoiildurs. It was like

At first , OMhjTinu went up easily. Her
nakrd'feotHtaVI ' grown accustomed to
climbingjvnUtttd not yet suffer from the
rungs which wnro covered with iron to

rolling , clung without fnligiio to the
mountings too great for them. And even
that oocuplcd-hur , almost putting an cm
to her rlinjrrin , that unforsccn ascent
that long , Kiir ntino line of men , slow
ly pulling themselves up , throeon a lad
dcr. aud tlui' limdcr would arrive on to |
when the ItUt man was about to star
from the bottom. But they were no
there yet , for the tirstof them wereonlj
a third from the top. No ono spoke , tin
feet went on and on with a dull sound
while thn lamps equal to moving slaw
sparkled from above to below in nn al
ways enlarging Hue.
' Hchlnd her. Catherine heard n bo
counting the ladders. She. also starlet
lo do so. They had already potion U |

at thatidstant she hit against the logs o
Chaval H.eLsworo , telling her to hi

nnm paused , motionless. What was tin
matter , what.has happened ? And o\cl :
ono questioned in terror. The agony fn
creased as they left the bottom fearing
what , was abovo. Some ono cried tlui
it was necessary lo go down again Ilia
the ladders were broken. That was tin
thought of all , the fear of tinding them
solvi-s before emptiness. Another terrible
riblo story descended from mouth ti
mouth , the accident of u man slipping
from a ladder. They did not know precisely
cisely what cries prevented them fron
hearing. Were they going to rcmaii
there ? At hist without any warning
the ascent was resumed with' the saint
slow and painful movement , amid the
shaking froili the feet anil the dancing
lamps. Surely , higher on the hidden
would bo broken.

remembered.a tale of her grandfather's
that in his early days the boys of tor
years used to go up these ladders will
the coal upon their shoulders , and thi'.y
were so open and adly built that when
one of tin1 boys slipped , or a piece of coal
fell from the basket , three or four of tin
children would tumble down at om
timo. But to-day one could not. full but
a few metres. That tain frightened her
becoming a veritable nightmare , for tin
cramps in her limbs became insupporta
bio , and she said to herself that slio couh
never go to the end.
Three pauses gave them all an oppor
tunity to drmy a breath But the terroi
which they , t'olt at each new arrest over
whelmed tliom. Above and below ono
could hear the heavy breathing. It con
fused the girl , who now began to fee
nausea. Suo.tvas suffocating , dizzy in ,
the half diipkri' * < s1 ansrry at the scraping
of her llcsh on t o sulos ; and she also
sull'crcd from , ljio dampness , her body
was in a .snvveVnig Perspiration from the
great level. The rain beat so strong tlujt
it threatened to ONtingnish the lamps.
Twice CIptvjiL had questioned Ciitlinr
inc witlioiip jbw ining any answer. What
was she doing down there ? Had she fal
len ? She miglitj at least , tell him she
was holding ouT They had liuou going
up for n half hour , but so slowly and
with HO. Jiuiny nau.sos > that , they were
;
only at. tJjUij. ifjyiiiintji' laddorT Still
forty-three. " ' At' last 'Catharine told
him that she was still there.
Ho would have abused her if bho had
spoken of-hj'fwonrine.ss. The iron of
thu rungs were now cutting1 her foot.
They seemed to have sawed into her as
far as the bone. After each pull she
expected to see her hands leave the mugs
above her , skinned and so still' that the
lingers would not shut ; and she felt as if
she would fall backwards ; her shoulders
scratched , her thighs strained from her
continual efforts. It was especially a
fear of those steep ladders which in
creased her sickness , those which were
placed almost .straight and compelled
her to pull herself up by the strejigth Of
her thumbs. The furious breathing of
the people drowned all other sound , a
sort of rustling noise which came up
from the bottom and expired at the top.
Whispers ran from one to the other , a
boy had jd.sf torn open the top of his
head against a laiiding.
Catherine still went on. They passed
a level. The rain had ceased , the heat
increased , weighing down their chests in
thick case-like air , poisoned with an odor
of old iron and damp wood. Mechanic
ally she stilj kept on counting , sixty-one ,
sixU-two , sixty-three , .still ninetei'ii , she
could never , arrivo. These figures re
pented over and over , sustained her with
their rythmical bajanco , for she was no
longer conscious of her moi'omentb , she
In-lit her limbs to the acquired strength
in a state of sad somnambulism. Around
her tin ) lamps si-omcd to dance. She
thought sin ; was dying , the least breath
would ha\o knocked her over. The
worst was that those from be
low ' wnro pushing now , { ho entire
e'oliiimi was rushing on yielding to the
rage of fatigue mid a furious wish lo
again sen the sun. Some comrides ,
tliOMt tihoad , had gone out ; there was
tlinrot'oro no broken ladders ; but the
thought that lltoy could yet break Ilium ,
to prevent' the bust from getting out ,
when tin- others wore already breathing
above , ended by setting them wild. And
when n slop was made again , oaths burst
forth , and they -wont on , pushing each
other , wishing lo pass over the bodies of
lho. > e who were almost ( hero.
Then ( . 'athctimi slipped. She cried to
f'haval in a-despairing appeal. But hu
djd not Ifiilirho ; liad beaten his way
higher IIP by pushing aside fcomo com
rades. Ana she fell and was trampled
upon. In her fright , it seemed to her
that slro was one of those little boys in
olden limes , and that a piece of coal fall
ing from a basket above hur head had
thrown her down the SHafr. like n.stono.
Only live ladders remained to climb ;
they had takmi < rnoarly an hour for the
ascent. Shtf Wvor know how she ar
rived , though she was carried on seine
one's f.liouTdim * { Suddenly slm found
