but it was thought that Black Joe had
opened the screen of his lamp for some
reason and exposed the flame that touch
ed off the gas.
Denny, working in a little chamber
apart from his section, felt the earth
tremble heard a deep, eullen roar, and
clouds of dust with great fragments of
slate were falling all about him. Some
thing had touched her off, was all he
knew, and he raced into the main gal
iery. He could hear his mates calling to
him as they ran for the hoist. 1t was
race for life to get out of the mine
before the dreaded after damp, which al
ways follows an explosion of gas in a
mine, could overtake them. Denny was
far behind. He stumbled, fen, and before
his startled eyes danced great flashes OF
colored light. He felt a queer, numb
pain in his head, and then something
snapped, and he lost consciousness.
On the surface all was confusion. The
explosion in the mine had come without
warning. There had been a great cloud
of smoke and dust, a dull, rumblins
sound, a shower of wreckage and debris.
and the earth all over the valley mad
trembled with the shock. Now great,
clouds hung over the valley. The air was
filled with shouted orders, curses and the
cries of hysterical women and children.
The operator at the station had been busy
sending reports of the disaster and ap-
peals for help. Special trains with ply
sicians and nurses on board were now
hurrying to the scene from Charleston
and neighboring towns.
Relief parties were working bravely so
free the entombed miners. The head of

the extreme western part of the settle
ment and near a deserted shaft, which
now does duty as an air we'll. Denny
himself is as fine lad as ever left the
old green sod to try his fortune in Amer
lea, and his wife Mary, a buxom Galway
lass. is the pride of Denny's heart. He
had good cause to be proud OF her, had
Denny.
1.-THE Company" boosted that misfor-
tune had never overtaken the Red Jacket
No frightful, fatal casualties had ever
taken place there, thanks to their care
ful supervision and the strict. almost
military. discipline in vogue at the mine
Powerful engines forced great volumes
of fresh air increasingly into all parts
os the mine. No uncovered lamps were
allowed in any part OF the mine. THE
Company furnished safety lamps for
all. There was little fear OF the explosive
fire damp in Red Jacket.
Our story opens on a fine March morn

smoke curled in gentle upward spirals
from the chimneys of the cottages. In
contrast, the great engines at the mines
