You know that we count upon
you to be our spokesman" Ste
phen said suddenly to Maheu.
The latter was like one dumb
struck. His words refused to
come.
NO, that's too much of a good
thing" exclaimed Mother Maheu.
II don't mind him going, but |
forbid him w be the bell-wether.
Why should he, more than anyone
else?"
Then stephen began to explain
very eloquently. Maheu was the
best workman I'm the pit, the most
respected and liked. ever held up
as an example Tor his common
sense. Consequently the miners
claims would. coming from his
lips. assume a decisive weight At
first stephen had been selected
TO be spokesman but he was at
Montsou too short a time: an old
er and better man would be lis
tened to with more Difference. In
short the men wished TO conflde
their interests to the most
worthy; he could not refuse-it
would be cowardly
Mother Maheu could not re
strain a movement OF despair,

neur's. where the delegates of the
neighboring villages were arrir-
ing, group by group. When the
twenty members of the deputa
ton were all come. the conditions
TO be, opposed to those of the
company were settled, and they
started for Montsou. A sharp
northeastern swept the paved
high road. 1t struck o'clock
when they reached the directors
house.
To start with, the servant left
them in the courtyard and closed
the house door upon them; when
he came back he showed them
into the drawing room and drew
aside the curtains.
The softened daylight, flltering
through the lace c. ttains, fell
into the room. And the miners,
all very neat and clean. dressed
in their best, shaved that very
morning, their yellowish hair and
mustaches trimmed, felt, when
left to themselves, awkward and
afraid to sit down.

that I've renewed the plant of the
Jean Bart. l can only manage TO
keep standing by an lncessant
output. seeing that it is the only
pit l have, and l don't like the
look of things, l assure you"
This involuntary confession
seemed 10 strike Mr.. Hennebeau.
He was listening, and a whole
plan was born then and there in
him. In the event of the strike
turning out badly. why not take
advantage of it TO aggrayate mat
ters, even to the ruin of neighbor
Deneulin. and then buy his con-
cession of him at a song. 1t was
the surest way to regain the ia
vor of the Montsou board, whose
dream these many years had been
to get possession of Vandame.
IF the jean Bart worries you
as much as all that, why not dis
pose of it to us?"
Mr.. Deneulin was already re-
GREETING his lamentations.
Never while | live. he eX-
claimed.
The company made merry over
his excitement, and at the mo-
ment the dessert was brought to
table they had managed to drop
the strike. An apple charlotte
was voted delicious. And the la
dies seemed to get their turn of
the conversation now. They dis
cussed recipes in reference to the
pineapple, which met with appro-
baton quite as enthusiastic as
that bestowed upon the former
dish. Cheese, candied fruits, pears
and grapes ended by putting them
in the good humor SO necessary
to the termination of a cOpious
breakfast. All spoke at once,
having become very affectionate
and confidential, while the serv-
ant filled their glasses with some
kind of Rhenish wine, instead OF
champagne, voted vulgar.
And the projected union Of
Paul and Cecily certainly ad
vanced serious step amid this

crushing on the carpet of the ad-
jacent drawing room.
81 hope you'll take your coffee
first" said Madame Hrnnebeau
to her husband. lowering her
voice.
mo doubt they can wait"
He felt nervous, and pricked up
his ears for every sound from
the next room, though ostensl-
billy and indifierently toying with
his spoon.
Paul had got up with Cecily.
and made the young girl put her
eye to the keyhole. They were
choking with laughter and whis-
pered very low.
do you see them ?"
Yes, see stout one. with
two smaller ones behind him."
What do you think of their
cut-throat faces?"
81 think they are very nice"
Suddenly Mr.. Hennebeau rose
from his chair. saying that the
coffee was too hot, and that he
would take ii later on. As he left
the room he put his finger to his
lips to recommend prudence.
They had all seated themselves.
and remained round the table,
silent, not daring to move
anXiously listening to what was
going on between their host and
these men with their rough
voices.
CHAPTER ~.
The Minars' Demand.
NF a meeting held at Ras-
n seneur's on the previous
night Stephen and some of
his fellow workmen had chosen
the delega ties that were to wait
upon the director the next morn
ing. when. during the evening
Mother Maheu found out that her
husband was to form part OF the
deputation she felt very defect
ed; she asked him whether he
wanted them to be turned into
the street to allow himself to be
thus dragged into this bother.
Maheu himself had not accepted
without reluctance. and he re-
manned i'll at ease, afraid at heart.
In spite of their undeserved hard
ships, both, when the moment for
action came, relapsed into the
resignation OF their race, appre-
henSive OF what tomorrow might
bring forth. preferring to bow
down submissively. In all mat
tiers relating to their every day
existence he generally appealed
to his wife's judgment, which,
upon the whole, was a sensible
one. This time. however, he got
angry; the more that he secretly
shared her fears.
Leave me alone" he said to
her, getting into bed and turning
his back to the wall. 1T would
be plucky to leave my mates in
the lurch, wouldn't it? Besides, l
am doing what is right"
She got into bed also. Neither
of them spoke. Then, after a
long silence, she answered:
You are right; yes, you had
better GO But. look here, old
man, we're done for"
They had their breakfast at
noon, because the appointment
was for l o'clock at Rasseneur's,
whence they would proceed to
MIR. HennebeaG's. They had Moth
ing but some potatoes. AS there
was only a small scrap of butter
left, no one touched it. 1t would
do for supper. with some slices of

When Stephen Lantier, his friend
Maheu, and the other coal miners of
Voreux go to the mine offices to draw
their fortnightly wages they are as
founded to find a notice posted an

pay.
This is a, crushing blow to the min
ers, for. by toiling long hours and
taking their wives and children into
the mines to work with them, they are
able under the present scale to earn
barely enough to keep body and soul
together. Before they have decided
what action to take a serious accident

Maheu is injured so badly chat he will

The miners decide to strike unless
