the village were being poisoned.

After which he kept silent and
afraid.
Stephen looked his blacklist.
They made their way once more
through the groups of miners. The
feeling of evaporation increased,
the evaporation of usually calm
population-a rumbling sound Of
an approaching storm, without vio-
lent gestures, but hanging terribly
over this heavy, stolid mass. A
few who were quick at figures had
made their calculations and the
two-f1fths of cent gained by the
company on the propping went
from mouth to mouth and excited
the calmest.
But It was. above all, disas-
trous pay day; the revolt of hunger
against enforced idleness and vexa-
atious fines. As it was, they had
scarcely food enough to keep body
and soul together; what would IL
be if they earned less still? In the
beer shops anger was at its loud
est and so parched the mems
throats that half of their beggarly
pittance found its way to the tills.
On their homeward way Steph-
en- and Maheu did not exchange a
word. When the latter entered the
house Mother Maheu, who was
alone with the children, noticed at
once that he had not brought the
things from the store she had want
ed.

deed" she said. And my coffee
and my sugar and the meat and the
piece of veal would not have ruined

He did not answer, choked as
he felt by tho sensation which he
tried to gulp down. But in the

Dazed and scarcely conscious of
ANYTHING, the man found himself
in room with old-fashioned ma

he stood listening for full five min
utes to the secretary, a tall, wash
ed-out looking individual, who kept
talking to him from over his pa
pers, without getting up. But the
buzzing in his ears prevented him
from understanding what was be-
ing said to him. He had some
vague notion that the subject Of
the speech related to his father.
the question of whose retirement
was under consideration. To the
pensioner, $50 would be granted as
a reward for his 40 years service
in the mine.
Then it seemed to him that the
serious voice grew more stern. He
was being reprimanded, accused Of
meddling with politics. There was
an allusion to his ledger, Stephen
Lantier. and to the provident fund.
in short, he was advised to leave
these fellows alone, he who was
considered as one Of the best work

He wanted to protest, but was
unable to string a sentence togeth-

of the room at last, stammering:

Leonora and Henry sobbed as hard
as they dared, and little Estella
set up long yell.
And the same wall of distress
rang throughout the village. The
men had nearly all come back, and
each household broke out in lam
entations at the disastrous pay.
Doors were thrown open, women
appeared on their thresholds, CIV

lions to be any worse. This was
why the village placed little faith
in the rumors that as a result of a
panic in the commercial world the
mines owners would be forced to
make further reduction in wages.
1T can't be true" said the min
ers, "for we are already nearly
starved"
But the balance sheets Of the
capitalists who owned this mine
had no room for consideration Of
their workmen's hunger, and one
morning when the miners went to
draw their pay they found an omi-
nous-looking notice posted outside
the cashiers window.
Read 1t to u.s." someone in the
crowd shouted to Stephen Lantier,
who was one Of the few men in the
village who could read or write his
own name. This fact, together
with his many qualities and the
good sense he showed in settling
little disputes in the village, had
made him a leader whom every
body liked and respected.
He was only young man, and
yet the village treated him with
greater respect than the oldest
graybeard.
Stephen did as he was hidden. 1t
was a notice of the company to the
miners of every pit. The latter
we're apprised that in view of the
little care taken in the propping
and being tired of infiicting fines,
the company had decided to modify
the rate of pay for the hewers.
Henceforth it would pay for the
propping per cubic meter of wood
taken down the mine and employed,
according to the quantity necessary
and on the efficiency of the work.
The price per truck full of coal
would naturally be lowered in the
proportion of one-fifth, always hav-
ing regard to the nature of the
seam and its distance from the
landing place. And sufficiently OBJ
scure calculation tried to prove that
this decrease of few cents would
be exactly compensated by the
price paid for propping. Finally the

sudden twitching Of despair. Large
tears welled into his eyes and
coursed down his cheeks in a show
er. He dropped on a chair, weep
ing like a child. and threw the $40
on the table.
There" he said, that's what I
brung you back. They are the
wages of the whole of u.s."
Mother Maheu looked at Steph-
en-, but, seeing him overcome also,
she burst out crying. How would
they live for a fortnight with only
so for-nine people? Her eldest
child had left them; the old man
could no longer stir. Assuredly
they'd starve to death very soon.
Alzira. seeing her mother cry,
threw herself around her neck:

worEmen's own passbooks, ON
which the viewers inscribed each
day for each separate cutting the
number of trucks of coal deliver
ed. Then he repeated:
"Maheu and mates; Filloniere

The cashier put down the money.
81 beg pardon, sir" stammered
the pitman. almost struck speech
less. Aren't you making mis-
take?"
He stood quite still, looking at
the little bit of money without TAX
ing it up, struck with a kind of
chill that went straight to his heart.
He had expected a bad fortnight,
but it could not he so little as that
they must have miscalculated.
When he should have RENTED their
parts to Xachariah. Stephen and
another mate, who had taken Cha
val's place, there would scarcely
remain $40 for himself, his father,
Catherine and Johnny.
"No, no; we aren't making a
mistake" said the clerk. You
must take off two Sundays and
four days besides. That leaves you
nine days work"
Maheu was following his calcu-
lation and adding up very slowly
to himself. Nine days made him
about $6-s3.60 to Catherine and
$3.50 to Johnny. AS for the old
man, he had only three days. New
er mind adding the SIS that came
to Zachariach and two others, it
made surely more than this.
"And don't forget the fines,"
wound up the clerk. -Four dollars
fine for defective propping."
The pitman could not control
movement of despair. Four dollars
in fines, four off days. At that rate
the account was right. And to
think that he had brought away as
much as $50 in his fortnight when
Daddy Jolly Corpse was still at
work and before Zachariach was
married.

give everyone time to convince
himself of the advantage present
ed by this new tariff, it would not
come into force until December /.
"Read a little less loud, you over
there"' shouted the cashier. zone
can't hear ones self think. :"
Stephen went on reading to the
end without paying the least at
tention to the remark. His voice
shook with emotion, and when he
had finished they all kept staring
at the bill and stood there in 81
lence as if they expected to hear
something more. They were com
pletely crushed by the unexpected
blow.
"By all that's holy muttered
Maheu. one of the older miners, at
last. He and some of his compan-
ions sat down absorbed in their
own thoughts, their heads on their
breasts, while the rest continued
gazing at the fateful bill. They
were calculating, and they came to
the conclusion that the company
was adding insult to injury, because
the propping would never make up
the 2 cents taken off for each
truck.
They would, at the utmost. get
over ! IL cents back, and the com
pany robbed them of almost half
a cent without reckoning the ex-
ira time this very careful prop
ping entailed. That is what the
company wanted to get at; it want
ed to lower wages, no matter I'M
der what pretext. 1t wanted to
effect some saving, and the best
way was to take it from the min
ers' pockets.
Maheu kept on swearing, but
slowly and without much passion.
Lifting his head he said simply:
"We are lot of towards if we
accept this"
The cashiers wicket was free by
this time. so he got up to be paid.
