L'ASSOMMOIR.
Continued From Second Page.
She soon heard that he and Me«-Bctte« had 8Ds»t the whole week in dissipation, and she even felt a little angry that they had not seen fit to offer her a glass of wine wi'h all their feasting and carousin liijn Sunday, as Gervaise had a nice little repast ready for the evening, she decided that an excursion would give her an appetite. The letter from the asylum stared her in the face and worried her. The snow had melted, the sky was gray and soft, and the air was fresh. She started at noon, as the days wer short and Sainte-Anne's was iorsg distance off but as there were a great many people in the street, she was amused.
When f'hr reached the hospital she heard a strange fct.iry. It seems that Coupeau, how no ore cnuld say, had escaped from the hospital, and had" been found under the bridge. He had thrown himself over the parapet, declaring that armed men were driving him with the point of their bayonets.
One of the nurses took Gervaise up the stairs. At the head 6he heard terrific howls which froze the marrow in her bones.
It is he!" said the nurse. "He? Whom do you mean?'' "I mean your husband. He has gone on like that ever since day before yesterday and he dances all time, too. You will see!''
Ah! what a sight it was! The cell was cushioned from the floor to the ceiling, and on the lfjor were mattresses on which Coupeau danced and howled in his ragged blouse. The sight was terrific. He threw hiin&elf wildly against the window and then to the other side of the cell, shaking his hands as if he wished to break them off, and fling them in defiance at the whole world. These wild motions are sometimes imitated, but no one who has not seen the real and terrible sight, can imagine its horror.
What is it? What is it?'' gasped Gervaise. A house-surgeon, a fair and ros^ youth, was sitting, calmly taking notes.: The case was a peculiar one, and had excited a ureal deal of attention among the physicians attached to the hospital. "You can stay a while,''he said, "but keep very quiet. He will not recognize you, however."
Coupeau in fact, did not seem to notice his wife, who had not yet seen his face. She went nearer. Was that really he? She never would haye known him, with his blood-shot eves and distorted features. His skin was so'hot that the air was heated around him, and was as it it were varnished—shining and damp with perspiration. He was dancing, it is true, but as if on burning plowshares: not a motion seemed to be volunfary.
Gervaise went to the young surgeon, who was beating a tuue on the hack of his chair. "Will he get well, sir?" she said.
The surgeon shook his head. "What is he saying? Hark! lie is talking now." "Just be quiet, will you:" said the young man, "I wish to listen."
Coupeau was speaking fast, and locking all about, as if he were examining the underbrush in the Bois de Vincennes "Where is it now?" hs exclaitnc and then straightening himself, he looked olY into the distance. "It is fair.'' ho exclaimed, "and lanterns in the trees, and the water is running everywhere fountains, cascades, and all Sorts of things."
He drew along b.reatb, as if enjoying the delicious freshness of the air. By degrees, however, his features contracted again with pain, and he ran quickly around the wall of his cell.
More trickery," he howled. "I knew it!" tie started bock with a hoarse cry his teeth chattered with terror. "No. I will not throw tnvseli over! All that water would drown me! No, I will not!" "I am going," said, Gervaise to tho surgeon, 1 cannot stay another moment."
She was very pale. Coupeau kept up his infernal dance while she tottered down the stairs followed by his hoarse voice. flow good it was to breathe the fresh air outside!
That evening every «one in the huge house in which Coupeau had Jived talked of his strange disease. The Concierge, crazy to hear the details, condescended to invite Gervaise to take a glass of cordial, forgetting that he had turned a cold shoulder on her for many weeks.
Madame Lorilleux and Madame Poisson were both there also. Boche had heard of a cabinet-maker .who had danced the polka until he died, lie had drank absinthe.
Gervaise finally^ not belli!*"'"able to make them understand her description, asked for the table to be moved, and there, in the center of the of the lodge, imitated her husband making frightful leaps and horrible contortions. "Yes, that was what he did!"
And then everybody said it was not possible that a man could keep up such violent exercise for even three hours
Gervaise told them to go and see, if thev did not believe her. But Madame Lorilleux declared that nothing would induce her to set foot within SainteAnne's, and Virginie, whoie face had grown longer and longer with each successive week that the shop got deeper in debt, contented herself with murmuring, that life was not always gay—in fact, in her opinion, it was a pretty dismal thing. As the wine was finished, Gervaise bid them aU good-night. When she was not speaking, she had sat with fixed, distended eves. Coupeau was betore them all the time.
The next day she said to herself when she rose that she would never go the hospital again: she could do no good. But as mid-day arrived, she could stay away no longer and started forth, without a thought of the length of the walk, so great were her mingled curiosity and anxiety.
She was not obliged to ask a questioa she heard the frightful sounds at the very foot of the stairs. The keeper, who was carrying a cup of tisane acros? the corridor, stopped when he saw her. "He keeps it up well!" he said.
She went in, but stood at the door, as she saw there were people there. The voung surgeon had surrendered his chair
'Iff
to an elderly gentleman wearing several decorations. He was the chief physician o« the hospital, and his eyes were like gimlets.
Gervaise tried to see Coupeau over the bald head of that gentleman. Her husband was leaping and dancing with undiminished iirength. The perspiration pour»:d more constantly from his brow now. that was all. His feet had worn holes in the mattress with his steady tramp from window to wall.
Gervaise asked herself why she had come back. She had been accused the evening before of exaggeratiug the picture, but she had not made it strong enough. The next time she imitated Kim she could do it better. She listened to what the physicians were saying the nouse-surgeon was giving the details of the night, with many words which she did not understand but she gathered that Coupeau had gone on in the same way all night. Finally, he said this was the wife of the patient. Whereupon the surgeon-in-chief turned and interrogated her with the air of a police judge. "Did this man's father drink •"A little, sir. Just as everybody does. He fell from a roof, when he had been drinking, and was killed." "Did his mother drink '•Yes, sir—that is, a little now and then. He had a brother who died in convulsions but the others are very healthy."
The surgeon looked at her, and said, coldly "You drink, too
Gervaise attempted to defend herseh and deny the accusation. "You drink," he repeated, "and see to what it leads. Some day you will be here, and like this."
She leaned against the wall, utterly overcome. The physician turned away. He knelt on the mattress and carefully watched Coupeau she wished to see if his feet trembled as much as his hands. His extremities vibrated as if on wires. The disease was creeping on, and the peculiar shivering seemed to be under the skin—it would cease for a minute or two and then begin again. The belly and the shoulders trembled like water just on the point of boiling,
Coupeau seemed to suffer more than the evening before. His complaints were curious and contradictory. A million pins were pricking him. There was a weight under the skin a cold, wet animal was crawling over him. Then there were other creatures on his shoulder. "I am thirsty," he groaned "so thirsty."
Th.» house-surgeon took a glass of lemonade from a trav and gave it to him He seized the glar.s in both hands, drank one swallow, spilling the whole of it at the same time. He at once spat it out in disgust. "It is brandy he exclaimed.
Then the surgeon, on a sign from his chief, gave him some water, and Coupeau did the same thing. "It is brandy he cried. "Brandy Oh, my God
For twenty-four hours he had declared that everything he touched to his lips was brandy, and with tears begged tor something else—for it burned his throat, he said. Beef-tea was brought to him he refused it, saying it smelled of alcohol. He seemed to suffer intense and constant agony from the poison which he vowed was in the air. He asked why people were allowed to rub matches all the time under his nose, to choke him with their vile fumes.
The physicians watched Coupeau with care ar.d interest. The phantoms which had hitherto haunted him by night, nc appeared before him at midday. He saw spiders' webs hanging from the wall as large as the sails of man-of-war. Then these webs changed to nets, whose mashes were constantly contracting only to enlarge again. These nets held black balls, and they, too, swelled and shrank. Suddenly he cried out—
The rats Oh, the rats The balls had been transformed to rats. The vile beasts found their way through the meshes of the net?, and swarmed over the mattress and then disappeared as suddenly as they came.
The rats were followed by a monkey, who went in and came out from the wall, each time so near his face, that Coupeau started back in disgust. All this vanished in the twinkling of an eye.' He apparently thought the walis were unsteady and about to fall, for he uttered shriek of agony.
Fire Fire! he screamed. They can't stand long. They are shaking Fire! Fire! The whole heavens are bright with the light! Help! Help!
His shrieks ended in a convulsed murmur. He foamed at the mouth. The surgeon-in-chiel turned to his assistant. "You keep the temperature'at forty degrees he asked.
4
Yes, sir." A dead silence ensued. Then the surgeon shrugged his shoulders.
Well, continue the same treatmentbeef tea, milk, lemonade, and quinine as directed. Do not leave him, and send for me if there is'any change.
And he left the room.Gervaise following close at his heels, seeking an opportunity of asking him if there was no hope. But he stalked down the corridor with so much dignity, that she dared not ask him.
She stood for a moment undecided whether she should go back to Coupeau or not, but hearing him begin again the lamentable cry for water—
Water, not brandy! ""s&\ She hurried on, feeling t.iat s'he could endure no more that day. In the streets the galloping horses made her start with a strange fear that all the inmates of Sainte-Anne's were at her heels. She remembered what the physician had said —with what terrors he had threatened her, and she wondered if 6he already had the di. esso.
When she reached the house the Concierge and all the others were waiting, and called her into the lodge. "Was Coupeau sjill alive?" they asked.
Boche seemed quilfe disturbed at her answer as he had made a bet that he would not live twenty-four hours. Every one was astonished. Madame Lorilleux made a mental calculation
Sixty hours,"' she said. "His strength was extraordinary.' Then Boche begged Gervaise to show them once more what Coupeau did.
The demand became general, and it was pointed out to her that she ought not to refuse, for there were two neighbors
Ni, she could not it was quite impossible. Every one was disappointed, and Virginie went away.
Then everyone began to talk of the Poissons. A warrant had been served on them the night before. Pols6on was to lose his place. As to Lantier, he was hovering around a woman who thought of taking the shop, and meant to sell hot tripe,. Lantier was in luck as usual.
As they talked, some one caught sight of Gervaise, and pointed her out to the others. She was at the very back of the lodge, her feet and hands trembling, imitating Coupeau in fact. They spoke to her. She stared wildly about her, as if awaking from a dream, and then left the room.
The next day she lei'c the house at noon, as she had done before. And as she entered Sainte-Anne's she heard the same terrific sounds.
The keeper lifted Coupeau. No, he was not dead his bare feet quivered with a regular motion. The surgeon-in-chief came infringing two colleagues. The three men 6tood in grave silence watching the man for some lime. They uncovered him, and Gervaise saw his shoulders and back.
The tremulous motion had now taken complete possession of the body as well as the limbs and a strange ripple, ran just under the 6kin. "He is asleep," said the surgeori-in-chief. turning to his colleagues.
Coupeau's eyes were closed, and his face twitched convulsively. Coupeau might sleep, but his feet did nothing of the kind.
Gervaise, seeing the doctors lay their hands on Coupeau's body, wished to do the same. She approached softly, and placed her hand on his shoulder, and left it there for a minute.
What was there going on there?. A river seemed hurrying on under that skin. It was the liquor of the Assommoir, working like a mole through muscle, nerves, bone and marrow.
The doctors went away, and Gervaise, at the end of another hour, said to the young surgeon ., "He is dead, sir."
But the surgeon, looking at the feet, said "No," for those poor feet were still dancing.
Another hour, and yet another passed. Suddenly the feet were stiff" and motionless, and the young surgeon turned to Gervaise. "He is dead,"he said.
Death alone had stopped those tv.et. When Gervaise went back she was met at the door by a crowd of people, who wished to ask her questions, s'he thought. "He is dead." she said, quietly, as she oved on.
But no onb heard her. They had their own tale to tell then. How Poisson had nearly murdered Lantier. Poisson was a tiger, and he ought to have seen what was going on before. And Boche said the woman had taken the shop, and that Lantier was, as usual, in luck' again, for he adored tripe.
In the meantime, Gervaise went directly to Madame Lerat and Madame Lorilleux, and said, faintly: "He is dead—after four days of horror." A /.•:
Then the two sisters were in duty bound to pull out their hadkerchiefs. Their brother had lived a most dissolute life, but then he was their brother.
Boche shrugged his shoulders, and said in an audible voice:
THE iERRE HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE
there who had not seen her representation the night previous, and who had -come expressly to witness it.
They made a space in the center of the room, and a shiver of expectation ran through the little crowd.
Gervaise was very reluctant. She' wis really afraid—afraid of making herself ill. She finally made the attempt, but drew back again hastily.
When she reached the cell, she found Coupeau raving mad! He was fighting in the middle of the cell with invisible enemies. He tried to hide himself he talked and he answered, as if there weie twenty persons. Gervaise watched him with distended eyes. He fancied himself on a roof laying down the sheets of zinc. He blew the furnace with his mouth, and he went down on his knees, and made a motion as if he had soldering irons in his hand. He was troubled by his shoes it seemed as if he thought they were dangerous. On the next roofs stood persons who insulted him by letting quantities of rat6 loose. He stamped here and there in his desire, to kill them, and the spiders, too! he pulled awav his clothing to catch the creatures who, he said, intended to burrow under his skin. In another minute he believed himself to be a locomotive, and puffed and panted. He darted toward the window and looked down into the street as if he were on a roof. "Look!" he said, "there is a traveling circus. I see the lions and the panthers making faces at me. And there is Cle^ mence. Good God! man, don't fire!"
And he gesticulated to the men, who he said were pointing their guns at him. He talked incessantly, his voice growing louder and louder, higher and higher. "Ah! it is you. is it? but please keep your hair out of my mouth."
And he pasped his hand over his face as if to take away the hair. "Who is it?" said the keeper. "My wife, of course."
He "looked at the wall, turning his back to Gervaise—who felt very strangely, and looked at the wall to see if she was there! He talked on. "You look very fine. Where did you get that dress? Come here and let mi arrange it for you a little. You devil there he is again!"
And he leaped at the wall, but the soft cushions threw him back. Whom do you see?" asked the young doctor. "Lantier! Lantier!"
Gervaise could not endure the eyes of the young man, for the scene brought back to her so much of her former life.
Coupeau fancied, as he had been thrown back from the wall in front, that he was notv attacked in the rear, and he leaped over the mattress with the agility of a cat. His lespiration grew shorter and shorter—his eyes starting from their sockets,. "He is killing her!" he shrieked, "kill ing her! Just see the blood!"
He fell oack against the wall, with hi hands wide open before him,, as if he were' repelling the approach of some frightful" object. lie uttered two long, low moans, and then fell liat on the mattress. "He is dead! He is dead!" moaned Gervaise.
"Pshaw! it is only one drunkard the less!" After this day Gervaise was not always quite right in her mind, and it wan one of the attractions of the Inuse tojsee her ac Coupeau.
But her representations were often in voluntary. She trembled at times from head to loot, and uttered little spasmodic cries. She had taken the disease in a modified form at Sainte-Anne's from looking so long at her husband. But she never became altogether like him in the few remaining months of her exist ence.
She sank lower day by day. As soon as she got a littlle money from any source whatever, she drank it awav at once Her landlord decided to turn her out of the room 6he occupied and as Father Bru was discovered dead one dav in his den under the stairs, Monsieur Slarescot allowed her to take possession of his quarters. It was there, therefore, on the old straw bed, that she lav waiting for Death to come. Apparently, even Moth er Earth would have none of her. She tried several times to throw herself out o^. the window, but Death took her by bits as it were. In fact, no one knew exactly when she died, nor exactly what she died of. They spoke of cold and hunger.
But the truth was she died of utter weariness of life, and Father Bazonge came the day she was found dead in her den.
Under his arm he carried a coffin, and he was very tipsy, and as gay as a lark. "It is foolish to be in a hurry, because one always gets what one wants finally. I 4m ready to give you all your good pleasure when your time comes. Some want to go, and some want to stay. And here was one who wanted to go, and was kept waiting."
And when he lifted Gervaise in his great, coarse hand6, he did it tenderly. And as he laid her gently in her coffin, he murmured, between two hiccoughs: 'It is I—my dear, it is I," said the rough consoler of women. "It is I. Be happy now. and sleep quietly my dear!" [THE ESD.J
