You saw it as you came up. Pretty? Well,
as pretty as we can make it. Looks like an
oasis in a,black desert,_ and hard work it is
to keep it decent with so many pits about,
each belching out, its clouds of villainous
smoke, black as the coal which makes it;
for you see we have not' only the fires for
the pumping and cage engine, but those at
the bottom of the ventilating shafts, and
the soot they send floating out into the air
is something startling, without counting the
sulphurous vapors which ruin vegetation;

Accidents? Well, yes; we do have acci

to see a coal pit, look upon it as a dangerous

And now, aboL this story of the accident-
I promised-"-only to hear this you tinist-lurVe
a little more beside. You need'rit go out of
the roam, my dear. ,
Well, as I told you, it was siB-tliad-twenty
years. ago, and I was just five-and-twenty
years"-old then; • working as regiilar pitman
on the day or night shift. Dirty work, of
course,-but there was soap in the land even
in those days; and when I came up, after a
good wash and a change, I conld : always en
, ~
joy. a Mad,. such times as .1. didn't= go to the
night school, where, always having been a
sort of reading fellow, I. used to help teach
the boys; and on Sundays I used to go to
the school and help there.
Of course it was all done in n rough way,
for hands that had been - busy with a coal
pick all day were not, you will say, much fit
"for.uslng a pen at njght.:,,troweveic. I used
to go, and it was there -Mound out that
teaching was a thing that paid you back
hundred per cent. interest,
- for you could tnit- .
teach others with Out teaching yourself.
I _
But—l may as well own to it—it :Was the
teaching at-the Sunday , school I usedyi look
forward to, for it was there I used to ?cc.
Mary Andrews, the daughter of one -of our
head pittneu. He Was not so very high rip,
only at the int village he lived in one of the
twit houses, and had about double the wa
ges of the ordinary men.
Conhequetitly Mary Andrews was a little
better dres'ed and better educated than the
general run of girls about tlici; and there
was something about her face l that used, in
its quietlcarnestness.t, to.-set 7ne anxiously
; Watching her all theihne',AhOiAs tetidliiiig',
till - t iisea to walk up Of a midden' i'6 the
fact that the boys in my class were all at
play, when, flushing red all over my face,
I used to leave off staring to the girls' part of
the school room and trvl to make up for-lost -
time.., - . ,
I can't tell you when it began, but at that
time I used somehow to associate Mary An
drews's pale, innocent face with everything
I did. Every blow I drove into a coal seam
with my sharp pick, used to be indnstrr -for
Martifsake, Of an evening, when-loVash•

used to be so that she might not be ashamed
of me if we met; and even every time I
made my heitil ache with some calculation
out of my arithmetic—ten times as difficult
because I had no one to hclp me—l used to
strive and try on 1111 I conquered, because it
was all for Mary's sake.
Not that I dared to have told her so, I
thought,, brit somehow the influence of Mary
used to lift me up more and more, till I
should noimerpl hay . e., thought 'of ,golng4o
join the otti'er'pitt ten'iit
i ef)ublie l lidtise thlin
of trying to fly.. -, I .
It was about this time I got talking to a
young fellow about my age who worked in
my , shift. John Kelsey his name was, and
I used to think it a pity that .a tine, clever
fellow like he was, handsome, stout ' and
strong, should be so fond of tl low habits,
dog-tighting and wrestling, so ovular with
our men, who enjoyed nothin* .better than
getting over to Sheffield or otherham for
wlitit they called a day's spokt, l which., gene
rally meant unfitness for work during the
rest of the week. n
" Well ; " said John, "'your ways seem to
pay yod," and he laughed and went away;
and I thought no more of it till about a
inenth after, when I , found, out that I was
what people who make use of plain, simple
language cull—in love; and 'Mien youhoW.
I found it out. ' -
I was going along one- evening past old.
Andrews's house, when the door opened for
a Moment as if some one was coming out;
int, as if I had beeh seen, it was eloied di
rectly. In that short moment, though, I
had heard a laugh, and that laugh I was sure
was John Kelsey's.
MI
I felt on fire for a few moments, as I stand.
there, unable to move, and then as I dragged
myself away the feeling that came over me
was one of blank misery and despair: - I
could hate leaned my head up against the
/hit wall I came to and cried like -a child;
but thitfeeling passed oil, to be succeeded
by one of rage. For, as the blindness drop
ped from'my eyes, I saw clearly. that not
only did I dearly love Mary Andrews,—love
her with all a Strong man's first love, such a
loVe . as one would : feel Who had 'till ntiiv
made his sole companions of his books,—*
but that I was forestalled; that Sebtl Kelsey
was evidently . a regular visitor there,' and,
for aught I knew to the contrary, , was her
acknowledged lover.
Z did not like playing the spy, l4it with
taintfeelireof lope 'on me that I might
hive been mistaken, I walked back past the
heuse, and there was no mistake; John.Kel
seST's head was plainly enough to be seen up
on the blind, and I went home intespair.
now I. looked forward to - tinr yield-Bun
driy, liiilf resolved to boldly tell Mary of my
loye, and to ask her whether there was• any
truth lit that which I imagined, though I al
mbst, felt as if I should not dare.
cSunclay came at last, and somehow I Was
rather late when I entered the great school
room, one end of ivhich was devoted to the
gy Is, the . other. to, the boys:: • :tho first
glance I Sa‘v";Nlary - iiiiis in her plaee rat the
second all the blood in my body seemed to
nish to my heart, for there, standing talk

and the next Minute he had • a class of the

he was hearingthem-read: , •

I Time slipped on, and I Could 44ainly see
sine thing that troubled me - sorely;' John
was evidently making an outward, show of,
being a. hard working fellow, strivinklard
for improvement, so as to stand well in old
Andrews's e3;e9, while I knew for a fact that
hi was as drunken and dissipated as any
youn4 fellow that, worked in the pit. '
I erkuhl not tell Andrews this ; nor could I
tell Mary. If she loved him it would grieve
her terrliply,•and 'be dishonorable as well,
and perhaps Ile - might - improve. I eau "tell
him though, I thought, and I made up my
mind that I would; and meeting him one
night, evidently hot and eieited with liquor,
I spoke to him about it.
If you
_truly love, that 'girl, John," I
said, "you'll give up this Sort of thing."
lie called me a meddling fool; said he
4(1 watched me, that he knew Iliad a hiui

me that,we fought. I went kopethatitlght

I heard this afterwards, and I don'tl4oW
how it was, but I wrote to her telling! er it
Was false, and-that I loved her too well ever
to have acted so.
When next ye met I felt . 04 . 0 she must
have read my letter and laughed at me.' At
all event's, John Betsey did; and . L had 'lbe
mortification of seeing that old Andiewit
evidently favored his visits. .

there wasn't a soul that didn't know it, for
the pit had spoken fOr itself. And as I hur
ried. out I thought, all -in a flash like, of
what a Christmas it would be for some fam-
ilics there; and I seemed to see a lonw pro
cession of rough coffins going to the•church
yard, and to hear the wafflings of the widow
and the fatherlesS.
There was no seeming, though, •in the
wafflings, for the poor frightened women,
