'DEATH AND MISERY IN PACKINGTOWN DISCLOSED BY “THE JUNGLE” Toilers Doomed To Be Demoralized by Rapacity of Beef Trust Owners CHAPTER XI (CONTINUED) It would have been better If Jurgls I kid been really IU; it ho had not been Jble to think. For he had no resource! I inch « moat invalids have: all he could I do was to lie there and toss abo«t ((Mi Lilde to side. Now and then he would (break Into cursing, regardless of every thin*; and now and then his Impa tience would get the better of him, and 11,, wo uid try to get an and poor Tots I Qsbleta would have to plead with him I in freniy. Elxbleta was all alone with him the greater part of the time. She L v ould ait and smooth his forehead by the hour, and talk to hint and try to I make him forget. Sometimes It would be too cold for I the children to go to school, and they I would have to play In the kitchen, I where Jurgls was, because It was the only room that was half warm. These I were dreadful times, for Jurgls could I get as cross as any bear: he I scarcely to be blamed, for he had enough to worry him, and It was hard when he was trying to take a nap to I be kept awake by qolsy and peevish I children. Elableta's only resource In those I times was little Antanas; Indeed, It would be hard to say how they could j have gotten along at all If It had not I been (or little Antanas. It was the one consolation of Jurgls’ long imprison ment that now he had time to look nt his baby. Teta Elxbleta would put thfc 1 clothes basket In which the baby slept I alongside of his mattress, and Jurgls would lie upon one elbow and watch him by the hour. Imagining things. I Then little Antanas would open his I eyes—he was beginning to tako notice I of things now, and he would smile— how he would smile! So Jurgls would begin to forget and bo happy, because he was In a world where there was a I thing so beautiful,as the Bmlle of little [ Antanas, and because such a world could not but be good at the heart of It. He looked more like his father every hour, Elxbleta would say, and said It many times a day, because she saw I that It pleased Jurgls; the poor, little lerror-strlcken woman was planning all day and all night to soothe the pris oned giant who was Intrusted to her care. Jurgls, who knew nothing about the age-long and everlasting hypocrisy of woman, would take the bait and grin with delight: and then he would hold his finger In front of little Antanas’ eyes, and prove, it this way v and that: and laugh with glee to seo the baby follow It. There is no pet quite so I fascinating as a baby: he would look | Into Jurgls' face with such uncanny se- f rlousness, and Jurgls would start and cry: 'Palukl Look, Muma. he knows hli papa! He does, he does! Tu mano nlrdele, the little rascal!" quite certain that she would find her place gone, and was all unnerved when she finally got to Brown’s, and found that the forelady herself had failed to come, and was therefore compelled to be lenient. • One of the consequences of this epl- CHAPTER XII. For three weeks nfter his Injury Jurgls never got up from bed. It was a very obstinate sprain; the swelling would not go down, and the pain still continued. At the end of that time, however, he could contain himself no longer, and began trying to walk a little every day, laboring to persuade himself that he was better. No argu- sode was that the first Joints of three of the little boy’s fingers were iterma- nently disabled, and another that there after he always had to be beaten be fore he set out to work, whenever there was fresh snow on the ground. Jurgls wns called upon to do the beating, and ns It hurt his foot he did It with a vengeance; but It did not tend to add to the sweetness of his temper. They say that the best dog will turn cross If he be kept chained nil the time, and It wns the same with the man; he had not a thing to do nil day but lie and curse his fate, and the time came when he wanted to curse everything. Tills was never for very long, how- rer, for when Ona began to cry Jurgls could not stay angry. The poor fellow looked like n homeless ghost, with his cheeks sunken In nnd Ills long black hair straggling Into his eyes; he was too discouraged to cut It, or to think about his appearance. His muscles were wnstlng away, and what were left were soft and flabby. He had no ap petite, and they could not afford to tempt him with delicacies. It wns better, he sold, that he should not cat. It was a saving. .About the end of March he had got hold of Ona's bonk book, and learned that there was only three dollars left to them In the world. But perhaps the worst of the con sequences of this long siege was that they lost another member of their fam ily; brother Jonas disappeared. One Saturday night he did not come home, nnd thereafter all their efforts to get trace of him wore futile. It wns said by the boss at Durham's that he bad gotten his week's money nnd left there. That might not be true, of cottfMk ttt sometimes they would say that when n man had been killed: it was the easiest way out of It for all concerned. When, for Instance, a man had fallen Into one of the rendering tanks nnd had been made Into pure leaf lard and peerless fertilizer, there wns no use letting the fact out and making his family unhnppy. More probable, how ever, was the theory that Jonas had deserted them, nnd gone on the rood, seeking happiness. He hod been dis contented for a long time, and not without some cause. He paid good board, and was yet obliged to live In n family where nobody got enough to eat. And Mnrija would keep giving them all her money, and of course ho could not but feel that he Wfs called upon to do the same. Then there were crying brats and all sorts of misery; a man would have had to bo a good deal of a hero to stand It nil without grumbling; nnd Jonas was not In the IcnBt a hem—ho was simply a weather-beaten old fellow who liked to have a I supper and Bit In the comer by the fire and smoko Ills pipe In peace before he went to bed. Hero there was not room by the fire, and through the winter the kitchen had seldom been warm enough for comfort. So, with the springtime, what was more likely than that the wild Idea of escaping had come to him? Two years he had been yoked like a horse to a half-ton truck In Durham’s dark eellors with never a rest, save on Sun days and four holidays In ths year, merits could stop him. and three or i and with never a word of thanks— four days later he declared that he was only kicks nnd blows and curses, such going back to work. He limped to the as no decent dog would have stood, rxrti and got to Brown’s, where he j Anti now tho winter was over, and the found that the boss had kept his place . spring winds were blowing—and with -that is, was willing to turn out into I a day’s walk a man might put ths the snow the poor devil he had hired 1 smoke of Parklngtown behind him for- lA the meantime.

Then ho was But now the Income of the family was cut down more than one-third, nnd forred to acknowledge that ho could not go on without fainting; It almost ptoke his heart to do It, and he stood caning against a pillar, and weeping like a child. Two of the men had to help him to the car, and when he got out he had to sit down nnd wait In the •now tm some one came along. So they put him to lied ngaln. and •ent for the doctor, ns they ought to have done In the beginning. It trans pired that he had twisted a tendon out of place, and could never have gotten Mil without attention. Then he gripped the Sides of the bed, and shut his teeth together, and turned whits with agony, while the doctor pulled and wrenched a*ay at |,|, awollen ankle. When final ly the doctor left he told him that he woo'd have to He quiet for two months, **d that If he went to work before Jjj* 1 l| me he might lame himself for Three days later there came another jeavy snowstorm, and Jonas and Marl- » and ona and little Stanlslovas all ■‘‘reaming with pain.

Alto they were borrowing: money from Marlja, and eatlnfr up her rank account, and spoiling once again her hopes of marriage and happiness. And they were even going Into debt to Tamoszlus Kuszletka and letting hltn Impoverish himself. Poor Tamoszlus was a man without any relatives, and with a wonderful talent besides, and he ought to have jnade money and prospered; but he had fallen in love, and so given hostages to fortune, ana was doomed to be dragged down, too. So It was Anally decided that two more of the children would have to leave school. Next to Stanlslovas, who was now fifteen, there was a girl, little Kotrina, who was two years younger, and then two boys, Vlllmas, who was eleven, and Nikalojus, who was ten. Both of these last were blight boys, and there was no reason, why their family should starve when tens of thousands of children no older were mJng their own livings. So one morning they were given a quarter apiece and a roll with a sausage In It, and. with their minds top-heavy with good advice, were sent out to make their way to the city and learn to sell newspapers. They came back late at night In tears, having walked the five or six miles to report that a man had offered to take them to a place where they sold newspapers, and had taken their money and gone Into a store to get them, and nevermore been seen. So they both received a whipping, and the next morning set out again. This time tber found the newspaper place, and procured their stock; and after wan dering about tm nearly noontime say ing “Paper!" to every one they saw, they had all their stock taken away and received ir thrashing besides from a big newsman upon whose territory they had trespassed. Fortunately, how ever, they had already sold some pa pers, and came back with nearly as much g* they started with. After a week of mishaps such as these the two little fellows bsgan-to learn the ways of the trade-*the names of the different papers, and how many of each to get, and where to go and where to stay away from. After this, leaving home at 4 o'clock In the morn ing and running about the streets, first with morning papers and then with evening, they might cofoe home late at night with 20 or SO cents apiece—pos sibly as much as 40 cento. From this they had to deduct their car fare, since the distance was so great; but after a while they made friends and learned still more, and then they would save their car fare. They would get on a car when tho conductor was not look ing and hide In the crowd, and three their fares, either not seeing them or thinking they had already paid; or If he did ask. they would hunt through their pockets and then begin to cry, and either have their fares paid by some kind old lady or else try the trick again on a new car. All this waa fair play, they felt. Whose fault was It that at the hours when workingmen were going to their work and hack tho cars were so crowded that tho con- ductnr* .

A man can get used to anything In the course of time, am Jurgls had got used to lying about th house. Ona saw this and was very careful not to destroy his peace of mind by letting him know how much pain she was suffering. It the time of the spring rains, Ona had often to ride to her work In spite of the expense; she wns getting paler every day, and sometimes, spite of her good resolutions, It pained her that Jurgls did not nbtlce It. Sho ondered If he cared for her os much as ever. If all this misery was not earing out his love. She had to be away from him all the time and hear her own troubles while he wns bearing his; and then, when she came home she was so worn out; nnd whenev they talked they had only their wor ries to talk of—truly It was hard. In such a life, to keep any sentiment alive. Tho woe of this jvould flame up In Ona sometimes—at night she would suddenly clasp her big husbnnd In her arms and break Into passionate weep ing, demanding to know If ho really loved her. Poor Jurgls, who had In truth grown more mntter-of-fact un der the endless pressure o f penury, would not know what to make of these things, and could only try to recollect whin lit* had last been emus; nnd so Ona would have to forgive him and sob herself to sleep. The latter part of April Jurgls went to see tho doctor, and was given a bandage to lace about his ankle, and told that he might go back to work. It needed more than the permission of tho doctor, however, for when ho showed up on the killing floor of Brown’s, ho was told by tho foreman that It had not been possible to keep his job for him. Jurgls knew that this meant simply that tho foreman had found some one else to do the work as well and did not want to bother to make a change. He stood In the doorway, looking mournfully on, seeing his friends and companions at work, and feeling like an outcast. Then he went out and took his place with tho mob of ff"- uihmuj'I’in«-d. This time, however, Jurgls did not have the same flne confidence, nor the same reason for It. He was bo kafir the finest-looking man In tho throng, and the bosses no longer made for him; he was thin and haggard, and his clothes were seedy, and he looked mis erable. And there were hundreds who hhd been wandering about Packing- town for months begging for woik. This was a critical time In Jurgls' life, and if he had been a weaker man he would have gone the way the rest d:d. TkOM out-of-work wretches would stand about tho packing houses every morning till the police drove them away, and then they would scatter among the saloons. Very few of them had the nerve to face the rebuffs that they would encounter by trying to get Into the buddings to Interview the bosses; if they did not get a chance In the morning, there would be noth ing to do but hang' about the saloons the rest of the day and night. Jurgls was saved from all this—partly, to bo sure, because It was pleasant weather, and there was no need to be Indoors; but mainly because he carried with him always the pitiful little dot of Ml w ife. Ho must get work, he told him self, flglitlng tho battle with despair every hour of tho day. He must get work I He must have a place again and some money saved upt before the next winter came. But there wns no work for him. He sought all the members *-f his union— Jurgls had stuck to the union through all this—and begged them to speak a word for him. He went to every one he knew, asking for •* chance, there or been able to without drlnli however, wer parts "f tm* machine; the kept up with tho for ten or twenty the time had Tin rent the awful grind \.i-t majority, y the worn-out icrclless packing oiled there, ana o, Nome of fli.Mii are, until Anally ' en they could not keep up with It any more. Somo had been frankly told that lin*\ were ton nM, that a sprier man was muled; others had given im- ion. by some net of carelessness or In- competency: with most, however, the occasion had been the same as with Jurgls. They had been overworked nnd underfed so long, and finally disease had laid them on their hacks; or they had cut themselves, and hud blood poisoning, or met with smut oth er accident. When a man came back nfter that, he would get his place back only by the courtesy <>f the bon*, this there was no exception, save when the accident was one for which »in firm was liable; in that case thoy would send a slippery lawyer to see him, first to try to get him to sign away his claims, but If he was too smart for that, to promise him that he and his should always be provided with work. This promise they would keep strictly nnd to the letter—for years. . Two years was the “statute of limitations,” and after that tho victim could not t* What happened to a man nfter any of these things, all depended upon th circumstances. If he were of the highly skilled workers, he would prob ably have enough saved up fo tide him o\cr. The best paid men, the “split ters," made 60 cents an hour, which would be $5 or $6 a day in the rush seasons, and $1 or $2 In tho dullest, man could live and save on that; but then there were only half a doze splitters In each place, and "tit- <•( them that Jurgls knew had a family of t w • nt j -two children, nil Imping grow’ up and be splitters like their father. For nn unskilled man, who made 610 a week In the rush seasons and $5 in the dull, It all depended upon Ills ago and tho number he had de pendent upon him. An unmarried man could save, if ho did not drink, and if he was absolutely selfish that Is, if he paid no heed to the demands of his old parent#, or of hts little brothers nnd sisters, or of any other relatives ho might have, ns well ns of the mem bers of his union, nnd his chums, and the people who might be starving to death next door.

He wandered all day through the buildings; and in a week or two, when he had been all over the R and Into every room to which d access, and learned that there was not a job anywhere, he persuaded himself that there might have been a change In the places he hnd first visited, and began the round alt over; till finally the watchmen and the spot ters of the companies came to know him by sight nnd to order him out with threats. Then there waa nothing more for him to do but go with the crowd In the morning,.and keep in the front row and look eager, and when he failed, go back home, «u»d play with little Katrina and the baby. The peculiar bitterness of all this was that Jurgls saw so plainly the meaning of It. In the beginning he had been fresh and strong, end he had gotten a job the first day; but now ho was second-hand, a damaged article, no to speak, nnd they did not want him. Thiy had got the best out of him—they bad worn him out, with their speeding-up and their careless ness, and now Uwy IbI tlRw Mm away! And Jurgls wduld moke the acquaintance *f others of these unem ployed men, and find that they had all had the same experience. There were some, of course, who had wandered In from other places, who had been ground up In other mills; there were others who were out from their own fault—some, for instance, who had not CHAPTER XIII. During this time that Jurgls wns looking for work occurred tho death of little Kristoforas, one of the children of Teta Klzblcta, Both Kristoforas and his brother, Juosapas, were cripples, the latter having lost ono leg by hav ing it run over, nnd Kristoforas hav ing congenital dislocation of the hip, which made It impossible for him ever to w’alk. He was the last of Teta EHsbitta's children, and perhaps ho had been intended by nature to let her know that sho had had enough, any rate ho was wretchedly sick nnd under-sized; lio had the rlckpts. and though he ’was over three years old, he was no bigger than an ordinary child of one. All day long he would crawf around the floor in a filthy Mttle dress, whining and fretting because tho floor wns full of draughts; he was al ways catching cold and snuffling be cause his nose ran. Tills made him a nuisance and a source of endless trou ble In the. family. For his mother, with unnatural perversity, loved him best of all her children, and made perpetual Cush over him would 1 him do anything undisturbed, and would burst Into tears when his fret ting drove Jurgls wild. And now he died. Perhaps It was tho smoked sau sage ho had eaten that morning—which may have been made out of somo tu 1 m i . Mini- |mirk that w a* enrubouned a unfit for export. At any rate, an hour after entlng It tho child began to cry with pain, and In another hour ho was rolling around on floor In convul sions. LItIo Kotrlna, who was all alone with him, ran out screaming for help, and after a while the doctor came, hut not until Kristoforas had howled his last howl. No one was really sorry about this except poor Elzbleta, who was Inconsolable. Jurgls announced that so far as ho was concerned the child would have to be burled by the i■ 11v, siii< *• th. y had rm ln-uny fur a funeral; and at this the poor woman almost went out of her senses, wring ing her hands and ecreamlng with grief and despair.

Elzbleta, alas, did hot read tho papers, and no one had told her; but perhaps It wns ns well, for Just then they would not have had the carfare to spare to go every day to waft upon the surgeon, nor for that matter anybody with tho time to tako the child. All this while that he was seeking for work, there' was n dark shadow* hanging over Jurgls; as If a savage benst were lurking somowhero In the pathway of his life, and he knew it, and yet could not help approaching the place.
