all parts from the most distant
spots, their lamps bobbing up and
down, and but family lighting up the
mad gallop of the black figures across
these enormous holes. When the
foremost of them bumped up against
the rock, they shouted and called
their comrades.
A second gang, conc from the fur
thermost cutting, was on the other
side of the mass of rock that OBJ
structed the gallery. 1t was seen at
once that the roof had fallen in for
at least a dozen yards. The real
damage was by no means serious;
but their hearts stopped beating, as
1t were, when a death rattle was
heard to issue from the ruin.
Bebert, leaving his train, ran to
the spot, repeating, Johnny is IN

At the same moment Maheu tum-
bled out of the chimney, with Ste-
phen and Zachariah. His grief found
vent in string of oaths. The wo-
men, who had come up by this time
Catherine, Lydia, La Mouquette-
began to sob and to yell with fright
amidst the terrible confusion, still
further increased by the gloom. The
men tried to make them hold their
tongues; they only screamed the
louder at each groan coming from
the ruins.
Viewer Richomme arrived also. He
felt put out at the absence of Negrel
and Dansaert from the pit. His ear
glued to the wall, as 1t were, he
listened, and ended by saying that
these groans were not the groans OF
a child A man was there for sure
Then Maheu himself took to calling
Johnny. Not as much as a whisper
came in answer
The boy must have been crushed
by the blow.
And the groans continued un-
changed, only becoming more pro-
longed. They spoke to the dying

stretched forth his head, greeting his
fellow-worker with a cheerful neigh,
and moistening his neck with an en-
couraging caress.
Curse the luck" growled Bebert,
there they are, at 1t again" Then,
when Trompette was gone, he re-
piled to Johnny's query respecting
Bataille.
Don't you make a mistake; he is
sharp enough. that old one. Each
time he guesses that there's some
thing in his way, a stone or hole;
he takes great care of himself; he
doesn't want his bones broken. But
| don't know what he's up to to-day
to be shifting about that door yonder.
He pushes it open and then he re-
mains stock still. Did you notice
anything"
NO" said Johnny: only some
water. I've got it'up to my knees"
The train started again. And the
next journey, when he had opened
the ventilating door with a push of
his head, Bataille again refused to
advance, shifting, putting and trem-
bling. But at last he made up his
mind, and went straight off without
stopping. Johnny, who had to shut
the door, remained behind and
stopped down to look at the pool in
which he was floundering. Then he
lifted his lamp, and noticed that the
propping had given with the con-
tinuous dropping Of the water. Just
then a pitman, known in the village
by the nickname of Chacot (Stumpy)
came along, anxious to go up, his
wife being Ill. He also stopped to
examine the stays And all at once,
as the little one was going to take a
run to catch his train. formid-
able creaking was heard; the Slip
ping rock had swallowed up the man
and the boy.
There was great silence. Famed
by the sudden draught of the falling
rock dense clouds of dust obscured
the traction roads. Blinded, almost
choking, the miners rushed in from

groans were the only answer

Richomme. who had already organ
lied the rescue gang. Look sharp,
Well talk afterward."
The miners attacked the rock from
both sides with pick and shovel.
Chaval worked away without saying
: word by the side OF Maheu and
Stephen, while Zacharfah superin-
tended the cal ing away of the
wreck. The time for going up had
rome; they were all very hungry,
but no one seemed to mind it while
one Of their comrades was In peril.
Nevertheless, they thought that the
village would be getting uneasy at
seeing no one come back, and they
wanted to send away the women.
But neither Catherine, La Mouquette
nor Lydia would stir. They remained
nailed to the spot, plying their
spades. Seeing which, Levaque un-
dertook to go and tell them of the
slip, proposing to treat it as a matter
of no consequence, which was al

the men had done the labor of a
day; half of the ruins would have
been removed already but for fresh
masses sliding from the roof Maheu
was working with such a terrible
energy that he refused with a mo-
ton Of his hand the offer of some one
to replace him for moment.
Gently, gently" said Richomme;
I'VE are getting at them. Take care
not to strike on them"
In fact, the groans became more
and more distinct. 1t was by their
continuous sound that the workmen
were guided, and now they seemed
to Issue from under their very picks.
Suddenly they ceased altogether.
Not a word. was spoken by the
men All had felt, as It were, the

ping from the Tubing felt cold; the
men looked up, impatient to behold
the daylight.
Luckily boy sent to Doctor Van
derhagen had found the latter at
home and had brought him back.
Johnny and the dead man were car
ried to the viewers room, where,
Notwithstanding the mild weather, a
large fire was burning. They had
to remove the buckets OF hot water,
standing ready for the viewers foot
bath, and two mattresses, on which
they laid the man and the child,
were stretched out on the floor.
Maheu and Stephen were the only
two admitted. Outside the women.
the workmen and the children had
gathered in groups talking In low
voice. The doctor only cast glance
at Stumpy. That was enough for
him, for he said:
Done for. You may wash HIM
Two inspectors undressed him,
then began to sponge the body, black
with coal dust and the grimy per-
spiration of hard work
His head Is all right" the med
ical man went on, kneeling by John
ny's side; "the chest also. All! it's
his legs that have been knocked
about"
Johnny, recovering from his faint,
uttered a groan. Standing at the
foot of the mattress, his hands hang
ing limp by his body, Maheu kept
looking at his child, with the big
tears coursing down his cheeks.
Are you his father" asked the
doctor, looking up. Don't cry, you
see he isn't dead. You'd better lend
me a hand"
He had at once noticed two simple
fractures. But the injuries to the
right leg looked more serious. 1t
might perhaps have to come off.
At this moment Engineer Negrel
and Dansaert, who had been in
formed of the accident, arrived, In
company with Richomme. The for
mer listened to the story OF the dis
aster as told by the viewer, and
looked beside himself with fury. At
last he burst out. Always this con
founded propping. How many times
he had warned them that they would
leave tnelr skins tnere, ana SLlll LHe
brutes talked Of striking If they were
compelled to prop more solldly. The
worst was that the company would
have to pay now for the damage
done. M. Hennebeau would be de-
lighted, Negrel felt sure.
"Who Is TT" he asked Of Dan
saert, silently standing close to the
body, which was being wrapped in a
sheet,
"Stumpy, one OF our best work
men," answered the head viewer.
"He has got three children. Poor
fellow"
Meanwhile DR.. Vanderhagen was
talking in a low voice to these gem
tlemen. He asked for Johnny to be i'm

in the dense gloom. They simply
piled their picks with renewed ardor,
drenched with perspiration, their
nerves and muscles strained to the
highest pitch. Suddenly a foot be-
came visible; they threw down their
picks and took up the boulders with
their hands. Little by little the man
was taken out. The head had not
been damaged. Lamps were lifted
UP, and the name Of "Stumpy' went
from mouth to mouth. He felt still
warm; his spinal column had been
broken by an enormous boulder.
Wrap him in a blanket and put
him on a truck" ordered the viewer.
Now let's try to get at the little
one, and let's look sharp about it."
Maheu had never ceased working.
He aimed one terrible stroke with
his pick, and made an opening by
which they could communicate with
the gang carting away on the other
side The latter cried out. They had
stumbled upon Johnny, in a dead
faint, his two legs broken, but still
breathing freely. 1t was the father
who took up the lad in his arms.
With his jaw tightly set he could
only find an oath now and then to
vent his grief, while Catherine and
the other women burst out shrieking
again.
The removal was quickly organ

lying across his knees, and covered
by a piece of wooden rag, torn down

They started very slowly. On each

all those that were not wanted to re-

that the work was over they were
dead with fatigue; they dragged them

other men started the two trucks at

with his child stretched across his

TOMMY MAHEU, still sore all
over with the drubbing he had
~ received, had not absented
4lmself from the pit on that day. He
was trotting barefooted behind his
train, closing the yentilating doors.
At times. when sure of not meeting
with viewer, he got on the hind

there. His greatest delight now

shunted to allow of another passing

had better take away the body also.
The engineer Immediately ordered
the horse to be put to the ambulance
van, and to bring a stretcher. The
they put the dead man, on his mat
tress, into the former.
The women were still standing
outside talking to the men, who had
stayed behind to know all about the
accident When Gle door of the
viewers room was thrown open, a
sudden silence fell upon the groups.
And a new procession was formed,
as It were, the van in front, the
stretcher behind, and the file of men
and women bringing up the rear. 1t

slope to the village. The first No

Stephen advised Maheu to send

lently, and the young girl started at
trot, for they were getting very
near.
Catherine had found her mother
very agitated by some presentiment,
and at the first words of the girl the
latter cried, "The father has been
killed."
The young girl protested in vain
and spoke Of Johnny. Without at
tempting to listen, the woman
rushed out, and, perceiving the van
turning round by the church. she
had turned ashen white. her strength
failed her On every doorstep the
women, dumbstricken, strained their
eyes, while others followed, excit-
eddy watching at whose door the
whole would stop.
The conveyance passed, and be-
hind it Mother Maheu perceived her
husband walking by the side of the
stretcher. And when the latter was
deposited at her door, when she
saw Johnny alive, thought with his
legs broken, she underwent so strong
and sudden a reaction that, choking
with anger. but not shedding tear,
she shrieked:
Nothing less; they main our lit

enough that the old man was losing
his legs, the young one was to be

on, while other cries, heartrending
sobs, came from a neighboring cot

of Stumpy wept on his body. Night

miners were eating their soup at
last In the village wrapped in dead
silence, only broken every now and
then by these bitter walls.
Three weeks went by, and the
danger Of amputation was averted
Johnny's legs were saved, though he
would limp for life. After an in.

Stephen talked for a long while
about the approaching LIST OF De-

They sat up till ten O'Clock waiting
for Catherine, who was, no doubt,

the door without saying a word
Stephen was a long while before he
could go to sleep.
The next day Catherine did not
come back, and 1t was only in the
afternoon on returning from the pit

girl all the way back from Montsou
to the village. Then, with a shrug of
the shoulders, he resigned himself
to the inevitable. What was the
