GREAT DRAMA GERMINAL;
READ IT, SEE IT IN FILMS
The Atlanta The Sunday American and Pathe
Freres are collaborating, by special arrangement, in a plan to
amuse, entertain and educate the people of Atlanta by the joint
production of moving pictures. Each day The Georgian and
American will print a *Rtorj in short, complete novelette form,
and the next day the story may be seen at a local theater, trans
formed into a photoplay by the Pathe players, the most famous in
the world.
In The Georgian to-day is printed the fourth installment of
Emile Zola’s powerful novel, "Germinal." which now is being pre
pared for production in the great Pathe studios in New York. The
story is one of the most enthralling of all the great Frenchman’s
novels, and experts who ate watching the production of the play
predict that it will be one of the most marvelous photo dramas
of the century. The story will be told in five reels, with elaborate
staging and consummate acting. By reading the story in The Geor
gian and American before you see the play you will get a greater
grasp of the situations and appreciate more fully the power and
beauty of the play.

CHAPTER 111.
The Strike Begins.
N this particular Monday
the Hennebeaus had the
Gregoires and their daugh-
ter. Cecily, to breakfast. Quite
a party had been arranged. Af
ter breakfast Paul Neun-l was to
take the ladies over St. Thomas,
a new pit, or rather one newly
reopened, with all the latest me
chanical Improvements. But 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 Cecil}.
And just on that very Monday,
at 4 in th* morning, the strike
had abruptly broken out When,
qn the Ist of December the com
pany had applied its new tariff
and system, the minors had re
mained ealm. At the end of the
fortnight, when paid, not one of
them had made the slightest ob
jection. The whole of the ad
ministrative Haff, 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
that seemed to Indicate an ener
getic guidance.
Great Strike Begins.
At 5 o’clock Dansaert camo
personally to awaken M Hanne
beau and to tell him that not a

Voreaux pit. The v.llag • of the
“Two Hundred and Forty,” when
he passed through it, was fast

securely locked. And the mom nt
the director had jumped oir of
bed. his eyes heavy with sleep,
he was overwhelmed on every
side. Every quarter of an 'vur
messengers ran up. tele ins
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
aerimis nt each minute. At the
Crevesoeur and Marion pits the
work was stopped; at the Made
leine none but the stablemen had
gone down; at the Victoire and
Feutry-Cantel. the two best dis
ciplined pits, the men were re
duced by a third; at St. Thomas
only every one was at his post
its men seemed to have re
mained outside the movement.
Until 9 o’clock he dictated tele
grams to everybody and to every
where to the Prefect of Ellie, to
the members of the company’s
board, informing the authorities,
asking for instructions. He had
sent Negrel on a tour of inspec
tion to the neighboring pits in or

remembered the breakfast, and

ANOTHER ONE TO MORROW
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE.
When Si ephen Lantier. his friend
.Mahon 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 tolling long hours
and taking their wives and children
into the mines to work with them
they are abb 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 Mahon is injured so badly
that he will be a cripple for life.
to the Gregoires to tell them that
th* 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,
lie 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 he had
consulted her. ’Well, what Is that
to uh? We are not going to stop
eating on their account, are we?”
And to all he could say about
the breakfast being interrupted,
perhaps, about the projected visit
to the pit having become impos
sible, she had a ready answer.
Why Spoil H breakfast that was
already on the fire? And as for
the excursion to the pit. if the
thing seemed impossible they
might abandon the idea after
ward.
"lb ides,” she added when her
maid was gone "yon know well
enough why I wish to have these
good folk here. This marriage
<> i.’.ht io concern you much more
than all th« nonsense of your
workmen. And and 1 wish it, so
there's an end of it, and don’t
contradict me.”
He lo >ked at her his ’Jps quiv
ering slightly, the features of the
stern ami resolute disciplinarian
showing for a few seconds the
Me r< t grief of a broken heart.
She had remained seated before
the glass, her shoulders bare, in
the fully mature,’ but still re
splendent, beaut\ of the woman
of 40. For a moment he felt In
clined to take her into his arms,
but ho restrained himself because
for the last ten years husband
and wife had lived apart.
“Very well, then,” be said, leav
ing the room. "We’ll counter
mand nothing.”
Husband’s Hard Struggle.
Ilcni’cbr.ni was born in the Ar
(iennes. 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 ihe Mining Institute,
he had, at the age of 24, obtained
the appointment of engineer to
the St Barbe pit. belonging to
ihe Grand Comhe Company.
Thne years afterward he became
< !vis ’unary 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 t’ e married couple
inhabited the same small provin
cial town without the slightest In
cident Interrupting the montony
of their daily existence, for they
had not e\ en 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 mundane
and social satisfactions dreamed
of during her school days. He.
strictly honest, did not speculate,
but stuck to hi° 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 his 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 his
wife would be grateful to him
for at least that much. But Paris
still fur.her widened the gulf be
tween them —this Paris for which
she had craved w hile still playing
with her doll In about a week
s.e had purged herself of her pro
vincial ways and manners and
adopted those as the born Paris
ian fine lady, imitating the lat
ter’. elegance, rushing head-fore
most Into all the extravagant fol
lies of the period.
Again Wearies of Marriage.
The contrary almost happened.
During the three years that they
I ad been a* Montsou th** 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
stout, 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
endeavored to beguile for Mix
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 nresent state, and began to fill
it with tapestry and knick
knacks, with sumptuous acres
series of all kinds, the fame of
which 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 lie take example by others
and demand a part of the profits?
Why did not he claim some
shares? Tn short, why did not he
try to be a successful man at
last? She insisted upon all this
v Ith the cruelty of the woman,
strohg in the consciousness of the
marriage portion she had brought.
Ho, ever correct, took refuge In
the calm imperturbability of the
great administrator, for the love
for his wife grow stronger each
da\ fanned by her contemptuous
I; difference 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. stern looks.
s< arceiv daring to touch her hand
Takes Youth Into Hom*
Just at ♦hat time Paul v
came to Montsou. His m h< r.
the widow of a captain in
nrmv, 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 io the
Polytechnic School in Paris. He
had passed his examination by
the skin of his teeth, and his
uncle had c ffered to take him as
engineer to the Voreux pit. From
that moment Hennebeau treated
him llk<» a child of his own. gave
him his apartment, allowed him
tn live there altogether, which en
abled Negrel to send half of his
salary of six hundred dollars to
his mother. In order to hide his
kindness Hennebeau spoke of the
trouble it would have been to the
young man to make a home of Ids
own in 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 nt once as
sumed the role of kind and tender
Hunt, 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
beau bestirred herself so ener
getically that her husband was
ashamed of his monstrous
thoughts. He simply felt very
grateful to the young man. be
cause the house was less dull
since his arrival.

general unsettling of speculative senti

ket to-day.
There was little demand for stocks
around the final quotations of Saturday
lnd pressure, which appeared especially
in the railroad Issues, caused declines
in the first few minutes of about a

New York Central declined a point to
