grasp of the situations and appreciate more fully the power and
beauty of the play.

CHAPTER 111.
The Strike Begine.
N this particular Monday
I the Hennebeaus had the
Gregoires and their daugh-
ter, Cecily, to breakfast. Quite
a party had been arranged Af
ter breakfast Paul Negrel was to
take the ladies over St. Thomas,
a new pit. or rather one newly
reopened, with all the latest me
chanical Improvements. Hut all
this was nothing more than a
pretty pretext. This party was
the invention of Mme. Henne
beau. to hasten the marriage of
Paul and Cecily.
And just on that very Monday,
at 4 In the morning, the strike
had abruptly broken out When,
on the let of December the com
pany had applied Its new tariff
and system, the miners had re
mained calm. At the end of the
fortnight, when paid, not one of
them had made the slightest ob
jection. The whole of the ad
ministrative staff, from the direc
tor to the lowest Inspector, im
agined that the tariff had been
accepted. Their surprise on that
morning was, therefore., propor
tionately great on receiving this
declaration of war. showing tac
tics and a power of organization
th-' eemed to Indicate an ener
g a guidance.
Great Strike Begins.
At 5 o'clock Dansaert came
Sersonally to awaken M Hanne
eau and to tell him that not a
■ingle man had gone down the
Voreaux pit. The village of the
"Two Hundred and Forty,” when
he passed through It, was fast
asleep. Its doors and windows
•ecurety locked. And the moment
the director had jump'd out of
bed, his eyes heavy with sleep,
he was overwhelmed on every
■ide. Every quarter of an hour
messengers ran up: telegrams
kept pouring In like a hail
storm.
At first he had hoped that the
revolt was confined to the Voreux
pit, but the news became more
serious at each minute. At the
Crevesoeur and Marlon pits the
work was stopped: at the Made
leine none but the stablemen had
gone down: at the Vlctolre and
Feutry-Cantel, the two best dis
ciplined pits, the men were re
duced by a third; at St. Thomas
only every other one was at his
post—lts men seemd to have re
mained outside the movement.
Until 9 o'clock he dictated tele
grams to everybodj' and to every
where- to the Prefect of Lille, to
the members of the company's
board. Informing the authorities,
asking for Instructions. He had
sent Negrey on a tour of Inspec
tion to the neighboring pits in or
der to have authentic particu
lars. All at once M. Hennebeau
remembered the breakfast, and
was about to send his coachman

-- ANOTHER ONE TO MORROW
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.
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
tounded to find a notice posted an
nouncing a reduction In their scale of
pay. This Is a crushing blow .to
the miners, for by tollllng 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 seri
ous accident occurs In the mine. Lit
tle Johnny Maheu Is Injured so badly
that he will be a cripple for life.
to the Gregoires to tell them that
the party was off, when a sud
den hesitation, a want of resolve,
made him waver; him, the man
who had just in a few brief
phrases prepared his campaign
with almost military promptitude.
He went up to the dressing room
of Mme. Hennebeau, whose maid
, was just putting the finishing
touches to her hair.
Insists on the Breakfast.
"Indeed, they have struck,” she
said, very tranquilly, when lie had
consulted her. "Well, what Is that
to us? We are not going to stop
eating on their account, are we?”
And to all he could say about
the breakfast being Interrupted,
pyrhaps, about the projected visit
to the pit having become Impos
sible. she had a ready answer.
Why spoil a breakfast that was
already on the fire? And as for
the excursion to the pit, if the
thing seemed Impossible, thej
might abandon the idea after
ward.
’'Besides," she added, when her
maid was gone, "you know well
enough why I wish to have these
good folk here. This marriage
ought to concern you much more
than all the nonsense of your
workmen. And—and I wish it, so
there’s an end of It, and don't
Contradict me."
He looked at her, his lips quiv
ering slightly, the features of the
stern and resolute disciplinarian
showing for a few seconds the
secret grief of a broken heart.
She had remained seated before
the glass, her shoulders hare. In
the fully mature, but still re
splendent, beauty of the woman
of 40. For a moment he felt In
clined to take her Into his arms,
but he restrained himself because
for the last ten years husband
and wife had lived apart.
"Very well, then," he said, leav
ing the room. "We’ll counter
mand nothing."
Husband’s Hard Struggle.
Hennebeau was born In the Ar
dennes His start In life had been
difficult, like that of most poor,
young orphans thrown on their
own resources in Paris After
having, by dint of great priva
tions. managed to attend the
courses of the Mining Institute,
he had, at the age of 24. obtained
the appointment at engineer to
the St. Barbe pit, belonging to
the Grand Combe Company.
Three years afterward he became
divisionary engineer to the Maries
pit. In the Pas-de-Calais. It was
here that he got married, by one
of those strokes of fortune which
are almost the rule among mining
engineers, to the daughter of a
wealthy spinner of Arras During
fifteen years tl.e married couple
inhabited the same small provin
cial town without the slightest In
cident Interrupting, the montony
of their dally existence, for they
had not even a child born to them
A growing spirit of Irritation had
estranged Mme Hannebeau from
her husband. Brought up In the
worship of money she despised
this man. who painfully earned
his modest salary, and from whom
she derived none of the mudano
and social satisfactions dreamed
of during her school days. He,
strictly honest, did not speculate,
but stuck to hls post like a sol
dier. The first disagreements
had sprung from there and been
aggravated by differences of tem
per. both physical and moral. He
worshiped hls wife; If sne wor
shiped anyone at all, It was some
Ideal lover, altogether unlike her
wedded lord.
Hennebeau at last made up his
mind to leave the provinces and
to accept an administrative post
in the capital, thinking that hls
wife would be grateful to hlrn
for at least that much. But Paris
still further widened the gulf be
tween them—this Paris for which
she had craved while still playing
with her doll. In about a week
she had purged herself of her pro
vincial ways and manners and
adopted those of the born Paris
< lan fine lady, Imitating the lat
ter s elegance, rushing head-fore
most Info all the extravagant fol
lies of the period.
Again Wearies of Marriage.
The contrary almost happened
During the three years that they
ii.ad been a' Montsou the weari
ness and irritation of their first
marriage life had recommenced.
At first Madame Hennebeau had
appeared relieved by the pro
found quietude around her. find
ing comfort in the unbroken mo
notony of this Immense plain.
She shut herself up like a woman
who had done with life; she
pretended to be heartbroken, so
utterly Indifferent to everything
’hat even the prospect of getting
s’out did not affect her. Then,
beneath this Indifference, another
attack of mundane fever declared
Itself, a revived craving to return
to the world once more, which she
endeavoro dto beguile for six
months by organizing and fur
nishing to her taste the small
mansion allotted to the director.
She said It was odious to her In
Its present state, and began to fill
It with tapestry and knick
knacks, with sumptuous acces
sories of all kinds, the fame of
w hich spread as far as Lille. Aft
er which her country surround
ings exasperated her; this ever
lasting procession of the beasts
of the fields, those never-ending
black roads, swarming with a
horrid population that frightened
and disgusted her. Lamentations
about being exiled began: she ac
cused her husband of having sac
rificed her to this salary of eight
thousand dollars, a mere pit
tance, and scarcely sufficient to
keep the house going. Why did
not he take example by others
and demand a part of the profits?
Why did not he claim some
shares? In short, why did not he
try to be a successful man at
last? She Insisted upon all this
with the cruelty of the woman,
strong tn the consciousness of the
marriage portion she had brought.
He, ever correct, took refuge in
the calm Imperturabfllty of the
great administrator, for the love
for hls wife grew stronger each
day fanned by her contemptuous
Indifference He had never In
spired her with such a passion as
he himself dreamed of. Each
morning he hoped that night
would bring the desired recon
ciliation; each evening he quailed
before her cold, stem looks,
scarcely daring tn touch her hand.
Takes Youth Into Home.
Just at that time Paul Negrel
came to Montsou. Hls mother,
the widow of a captain In the
army, living at Avignon, her hus
band's birthplace, on the slender
est of incomes, had condemned
herself to the greatest privations
In order to send her son to the
Polytechnic School tn Paris He
had passed hls examination by
the skin of his teeth, and hls
uncle had t tiered to take htm as
engineer to the Voreux pit. From
that moment Henebeau treated
him like a child of hls own. gave
him hls apnrtment. allowed him
to live there altogether, which en
abled Negrel to send half of his
salary of six hundred dollars to
hls mother. In order to hide hls
kindness Hennebeau spoke of the
trouble It would have been to the
young man to make a home of hls
own tn one of the little cottages
reserved to each engineer of the
pits; besides, he pretended to
want the little tenement for an
engineer of the central service,
who was already living there.
Madame Hennebeau at once as
sumed the roe of kind and tender
aunt, ever ready with sweet
counsel In every emergency.
Two years passed like this. The
idea of a good match for her pro
tege constantly preoccupied
Madame Hennebeau. and if Hen
nebeau’s suspicions were sudden
ly aroused one night, they were
as suddenly lulled to rest next
morning by Madame Hennebeau
mentioning that she had chosen
Cecily Gregoire to be their neph
ew's wife And Madame Henne
benu bestirred herself so ener
getically that her husband was
ashamed of hls monstrous
thoughts. He simply felt very
grateful to the young man. be
cause the house was less dull
