BUMMARY OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS, Anton Lantier, a mechanie, unable to find employment at his trade in Paris, drifis in the interiar of Krance and brings up at the Montson coal mining region, in early spring. Being without money he readily aecepts work in the Vulture mine and oon becomes an expert workman. ‘The low wages of the min- crs, a constant strogele against hunger the miserable condition of old and you cites in him a lively interest and he beirins the study of metliods tending to allevigte their condition, Gradually e imparts his ideas to others and readily secures the sup- port and co-operation of the poor, strugelir workmen, A saving fund is started to which each miner contribnted, the money thus ob- tained to be used to support the men. in case of trouble with the coal companies. Ry the 15t of November the tund anounted to i con- siderable sut, and the miners, emboldened by this fact, defermined to yesist a new wiethod of payment introduced by a majority of thescompanios, which was to o inio e ect oh the 1irst of December, — The plan of the companies was to divide the ten centime paid for eaelrear of conl, one-half to go toward paying for propping in the drifts of the mines. The workmen, to fortify their position in case of revolt, worked nfteén days under the new system of payment, and found that it wasan indirect hut effective method of reducing their wages, To strike was the only o tive, Meetings were held and a d gation appointed o wait upon the managing director of the mines and lay before hin the demands of themen—the abolition of the new ayment and an inerease of nve ntimes perear. Anton's ability and saga- city made him at once the leader in the strike, Tlie interview of the miners with the mana- ger was without result, and the men, with very little hope of ultimate success, settled down to u long and bitter strugule—the strug- gle of poverty against unlimited weaiti, CHAPTER XX. The mecting wasto be held on Thurs- at two o'clock at the Bon-Joyeux. The old woman was exasperated at the misery which had been made for her children, the coul men, especially as her saloon was always empty. Never had strikers been less thirsty;even the drunk- ards fastened themselves in their honses rather than disobey wise orders given them. The strects of Montson which was so crowded on fete days now bore a mournful air of ‘desolation. No_more beer was handed over the bars. Before the Caosmuir and the Progress nothing was to be scen but the pale faces of the loonkeepers, watching the road, the Enfant, Tison, Piguette, ’ oupee all were déserted, only Saint Eloi,which was frequented by’ the overseers, drinks were .\lvl]i)murml ont. Even at the Voican which was kept by a woman, no sound V heard., Great heavens!” eried old Desir, “The gendarmes would be after me if they found it out, but I must fool them.” She had neceded with pleasure to the demands of Anton, Her entive house should be given up to the miners, she would lend them her ball room gratui- tously, and even send out the invitations if they wished. On the following day the young man_carried her fifty lettérs to Sign, which had been copled by the neighbors who knew how to write These invitations were sent o to the delegates and some other men whom they could trust. The business of the day named was to discuss the continua- tion of the strike, and Pluchart was expected they counted on a tulk from him to win the men over to join tue Intes ional. Thursduy morning Anton became un- easy. Pluchart, wno had sent a dispaten nying he would be there on Wednes evening, had not yet arrived. Wha the matter? Anton was in despair being able to tulk with him before the meeting. At nine o'clock he went to Montsgon, thinking that the mechanic had perhaps gone it there without stopping at the Vulture “No, I've not_scen old Desir. “But everything is v Come in and see.” Ste led him to the ball decoration remained t ne, g flowers renching neross ti o, s’ stand w pluced by a table and three chairs wumber "of bencies ranged slon walls. “It is all right,” “Yon must mak Bawl all you plonse. will have to pussove com In spite of his uneasiness he could not help smiling at her words. At that moment ssencur and Jouva- rine entered, and wien the old woman left them together in tue great cmply hall, Anton eried: “What! you here already 2™ Jouvariiic_had come in out of simvle curiosit, The muchinists of the Vul- ture were not on a strike and he was now working at night. Rasscuenr had seomed uneasy for two days; lus round, fut face had lost its jolly smile, Did ' you know thut Plnchart hasn't come yet?" said the young man to 4m. He “tury his_face as.de, and at lust replied between his tecth “That don't ustonish me, 1 peet him." SWhy Then looking the other in the faco he replied with o orave air: ‘Beeause I wrote to him, if yon wish to know, and in that letwer I begged him not to come. Yes, [ thought you ougnt to attend to your own a s without usk- ing strangers to help you, Anton, trembling With 5, mered out *You did that: von did that?" inly, 1 did that; and yon know moreover 1 have confidence in” Pluchurt, He's sly, but a person can get nlong wita Uit your ideas woild make ono Polities, government—all that Wihat I want is to see the miners better treated. I worked thie bottom for twenty years, and suffered so much misery that 'swore to obtain some ease for the poor devils who are there still. L know very well that you'll get nothing at all with your foolishness; you'd muke the life of ihe workmen still inoro miserable. Wihen hunger forees them to go buck to work they'll be ground down still more, the company'll y them back with blows like an “es- caped dog which has been made to re- turn to his kennel. [ want to prevent that if I esn. Do you understand* His voice grew londer, and his ealm, reasonable nuture clearly shown out in his words, which eame freely, without effort. Was it not stupid to ‘think that they cotild change the world in a mo- ment—to put the workmen in the place of aristocrats and_ divide the money like a lot of apples? It would take thousands and thousands of years to do that, Why did they ruin thdir peace of mind by talking of miracles? © The most stupid erson should know better than that. nstead of making fools of themselves, why did they not endeavor to lead the compuny by their good conduct to muke a better condition of things? Anton, tilled with indiguation, allowed him to speak on, then he eried “Great heaveus, huve you uo blood in your veins:" To resist a temntation to strike him, he walkaed up and down tae room with great strides, oceasionally s.tung down oif one of the benches; at last he opened the door leading to the bar room, “Shut the door 1id Jouvirine. “We don't want people to hear us." On caming in the engineer had se himselt an one of the chairs befor desk. After volline a cigarette he watched the two others with his keen, yet sharp eyes, his li fed with a slight smile od to get angry,” re said Anton, yourself at home now, The gendarmes my body if taey don'’t ex- stam- ated sumed Russenour, *“Lsuw from the fivst ‘ Lo des; e that you had somo good sense. Tt was very wise of you to take command of the to force them to remain at home, using your wisdom to obtain or- der, but now you are trying to get them 1nto trouble,'’ At each of his turne Anton fles up to the saloon keeper and taking him by the shoulder shook him, erying fis replies in the man’s fac “Yes, T have imposed discipline on them. T still advise them not to give in but it was not necessary for yon to make afool of me in _this way. You pride yourself on keeping cool; as for me there wre times when 1 fear I am going mad." He mocked at his first impressions those of n neophyte, at his religious dream of a_place where justice would soon reign between men who b be- come brothers, Let them cross their arms and wait if they wished to sec until the end of the world men devour one another like so many wolves, No, they mu ake things in their own hands or {njustice wonld be eternal, the vich al- ways sucking the blood of the poor. He could not pardon himself for being fool- ish enough to have formerly said that they must banish the political from the social question, He was ignorant then but since he had read and studied s ideas had become matured; he now boasted of having a system' However, he explained it _badly, in_confused sen- tences which still kept a little of all the theories gone over and successively aban doned. At the head remained the ideas of Karl Marx, that capital was the result of spoliation and that work had the right nd should enter into that stolen riches. Only things became confused as soon as he passedton to a practical programme. At first Proudhon had tempted him with the chimera of credit, a vast bank of ex- change which would abolish all others; then he fancied the co-operative society aalle, endowq the common- alth which little Ly little wounld trans- form the earth into single industrial town, then the question of honest man- ng nd the ditliculty of control bad disgusted him with it, and he had paused for a time at collectiveness “vhich de- manded that all the instrum &% of labor Id be rendered up into a collection. rall in the strike w. “The He did not yet know how to realize his new dream, which ngain bronght up seruples as to its being sensible and right. e uply suid that it was the question to take pos- session of the government betoro all They wonld see. “But why have you changed you gone’ over to the owne continued he, returning and before the saloon-keeper, * owned up to it yourselt.” Resseneur slowly reddened, 8, 1 snid so, and I'm no more of a coward than any other. Only I refuse to be with those who get everything into a mess jusi to muke a position for them- selve: Anton appeared nneasy. The two men became disagreeabie, their sullen rivairy gaming on them. It wasin the end the question of persons which angered them, throwing one into a revolutionary exag- geration and the other into affected pru- dence, carrying them away in te of themselves ™ above their true ideas into theso fatal roles which they otherwi would not think of choosing. ‘And Jouy rine, who listened with discrete curiosity, showed upon his blonde, girlish face n contemptuons s the overwhelming scorn of a man ready to give his life ob- scurely without even posing as a ms “You mean that for me, do_you?' manded Anton. “You're jealous.” “Jealous of what?" replied Rassencur, “Idon’t pose as a great man, nor do I try to form a society in- Montson to be- come its secretary.” The othar endeavored to interrupt him, but_he added: “Be frank now: yon're only usinz the ional as u *pretense to play tae gentleman and commence a - corr pondence with the tamous council of tae north.” A silence fell: then Anton, very pale, replied: “1 never thonght to be reproached by you. I have always consulted you, for know that you fouight here long before me. But when you would allow no one to say a word but yourself, I acted alone trom that time on.” ~ And from the first I warned you thai the meeting would he held even if Pluchart didn't come, the men would adh in spite v haven't done soyet,” murmured the saloon-keeper; “wit until tacy asked for an assessment.”" *The Internati den’t comnel workmen to pay their d at once. ) pay latér ‘on, and 3 to our aid at once.” Rassencur suddenly beeame furions, “Well, we'll see!

That blonde face, with those thouzhtful eyes, sometimes made bim flushup with uneasiness, while it acted singularly upon his will, Without one word from his comrade, conquered by that silence alone, he felt himself dmed little by little “What would you do if yon were in my plucer” he usked. *“Am I not right to wish to aet?

He rose from his chair while n mys: tical lame shot from his clear eyes and his delicate hands were pressed “against the table as though to crush it Seized with fear Anton watched him, thinking of the tales which he had been told in confidence of bombs thrown into th uco of ezar, police ohiefs beaten dow: )y blows of a hammer like wild boars, A mistress of this man’s the only woman he i ever loved, hun,, at Moscow one May morning, while in the crowd he ki for the last time., “No, no,”" murmured Anton, with a gesture as if to ward off these abominable visions, “‘we haven't come to that yet The nssassin, the incendiary, never! It is tervible, itis unjust. All ‘the miners would aid'in strangling an assassin.” He did not understand. His race re fused the somber dream of the exterm nation of the world, mowed down close to the ground like a field of rye.

Anton langhed in spite of the chill which crept over him at that reply, and lie willingly confessed that there was some good in all that; he already com- prehended more and more, and perhaps ater on he would believe. Only that would give too good a chanceto Rassen- ourif he rolated these words to his cow- panions. He tried to be practical. Old Desir entered to invite them to lunch. They accepted and passed into the saloon which a movable partition separated from the ball room during the wee When they had_tinished their omelette and ehéese, still an - hour re- mained. Anton was uneasy for he had counted on Pluchart. At half-past one the delegates. had commenced to arrive and he was obliged to reccive them, for he wished to wateh the entrances, f ing that the company wonid send’ their usual spic He examined each letter of mvitation,looking cach person in the face Those whom he knew, even though with- out invitations were admitted. At _two o'clock Russenuer, who had been quictly smoking a pip® before his own counter, returned. Uhat sight unnerved Anton all the more, especially as some follows had come there simply for fun, Zacharie, Moguet and some others; these boys langhed at the strike, thinking it nice to do nothing, and sitting down _at a table spent their last two sous for drinks, They laughed at their comrades, telling them they were gding to do some foolish things. B A Quarter of:an-hour had e when Jouvarine camp out to say that the men were growingimuatient. © ‘Uhen Anton in b rir jhecnme resolute, and he was about to felloy the machinist back to the ball room, when old Desir, wno had been w ing the road, cried: “‘Here's your gentleman,”” ‘They flew ta the door. It was really Pluchart. He hadarrived in 2 carringe drawn by a-winded horse. He immedi- ately jumped out h{mn the pavement. He, was'slight, insipid-looking, with a large square head, looking like a well-to-do workmen dressed in his Sunday best. For live years he had not done a° stroke nd he took great care of himself, particular about. the manner in which his hair was comhe: His limbs were stif and the nails of his large hands had never grown again after leaving off work. Very endered an hon- est service to his ambition, beating about the provinces without rest to advance his socialistic ideas. “Antdon’t bear any il will against me," said he, anticipating the question.

Desir asked him to take a drink, but he refused, he could talk without drinking, and he was in a hurry as hemust be at Joiselle that night. He wished to 1 talk with man there named Legoujenx. They all entered the ball room together. Mahon and Levaque, who had just arnved, fol- lowed them in and the door was locked, in order to Le more privat A hundred miners were waiting there Heads were turned and whispers leard as the neweomers sat down in the empty seats, ‘They looked at the gentleman from Lille,whose black frock cout caused a surprise nnd uneasiness, A But, on the proposition of Anton, they constituted the ;ml au, He called the names and the others approved by rais- ing their hands.

And without speaking of be coming submissive he weakened their cournge by pointing ont the people in the aileys dying of hunger; he wished to know upon ‘what resourees they counted The applanso of a few friends only served to emphasize the silence of the ‘greater number whose disap ton breame greater and greater. Then in dispair of winning them back his rage earried him x\\\:-?x He predicted unhappiness and prict for them if their heads were turned by the words of a stranger, Al 4 in nger, wishing to prevent him from say e more, after he had insulted and treated them like ehildron incapable of 4 re of themselves. And he, drinking gulp by gulp somo drafts of beer, spoke in"the midst of the tumult, erying violently that the man_ was not yetborn who could prevent him from doing his duty. Pluchart stood up, and having no bell, he beat on the table with his fist, saying in liis hoarse voice CCitizens; citizens, " ‘inally he obtamed a slight ealm and the meeting called to order. Thoy took the word from Rassenour, The delogates who had represented the miners in the interview with the divector led on the others with their ideas. It ended in a de- termined voto to advane _““What difference does it make to you? You've got enough to eat,” yelled Le- vaque, simking his fist at Rasseneur, . Anton, behind the president, was try- ing to quiet, Mahon who had flashed 1p with a terrible rage atthat canting talk, while Jouvarine looked on httle by little becoming warmed up, a flame at the bot- tom of his clear eyes. “Citizens, " suid Pluchart, “permit o spenk. A profond silence fell speaking ina hoarse voiee, but he was neeustomed to talking and little by little he inflated his throat, drawing out’ some nathetic efforts, With ontstretehed arms iad the eloquence of a elergyman or lec- turer with a habit of letting iall the close of his sentences of which the humming monotone ended by conyineing. And he began his discoure greatness and goodness of the Inter- national. He explamed its aim, the emancipation of workmen; he showed them the enl; ng structure, at the bot- tHm the commune, above that the pro- vinee, still higher the nation, and the top of all humanity. His ms were slowly extended, maussing up the stories, uplifiing the immense cathedral of the future world. Then eame the interim administration. e vead the laws, spoke of congresses, the continual progress of the work, the enlarging of the pro- gramme which set out the discussion of salaries, attacking now the social liquid- ation 80 as to end with a higher salary. No more nationality, the workmen of the entire world would unite 1in a common wish for justice, sweeping away the rot- ten rulers, at last founding a free society where those who did not work could not reap. He eried ont now; his breath seemed to frighten the very flowers un- der the smoky eciling, They nodded their heads: some eried: “That’s true. We're with you.” He continued. Before three years the world would be conquered. Adherents poured in on all sides. No new relig.en ever had so many followers. Then, when they could be masters, they would d tate the law to their superiors, they should in their tuen have their fists upon the others’ throats. “Yes, yes; they will fall.* With a gesture he demanded silence, Now he was approaching the question of the strike. In prineiple he did not ap- prove of what they had done, for that was & slow means which only ageravated more the sufferings of the workmen. But, on understanding that it was iney- itable, they must muke the best of it; they at least had the advantage of disor- oconizing the capital. Andin that ease hn-ld up the internationn a providence for the strikers; he cited some examples: In Paris, at the time of the strike of the bronze workmen the owners 1 sud denly aereed to all, seized with terror at pews that the International was send- d; at London it had ved the coal by sending back, at its own expense ne of men from’ Belgium, sent for Dy the mine owners, 1t suilictd to win them over, the workmen entered into the 'my of workingmen, decid ing to die for each other sooner thaun re muin the sluves of a society of capitul- ists Applause mterrupted him. . He wiped his face with his handkerehief, refusing the drink which Mahon passed him. When he wished to proceed new applause cut short his words. “Irs all right,”” said “Quick, hand me the cards He plunged onee more under the table ppeared with the black ¢ evied he above allth wids of menby your delegates will come fory ive them up and the \ them. Later on we will regulate all.” Rasseneur aros to_again protest Anton was agitated fearing he should be compeiled to speak. An extreme confu- sion had come upon him. Levague threw out his fists into the empty air as if he was going to beat himself. Standing, Mahon wis speaking without being able to hear a single word.
