f THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. WEDNESDAY, JULY 4. IMS. MERE CHILDREN ARE DRIVEN TO BREADWINNING. DEATH AND MISERY IN PACKINGTOWN DISCLOSED BY “THE JUNGLI ■Ml ■i V Toilers Doomed To Be Demoralized by Rapacity of Beef Trust Owners CHAPTER XI (CONTINUED) Jt would have been better If Jurgis lud been really 111; If he hod not been ,Me to think. For he had no resource* such as most Invalids have; all he could io was to lie there and toss about from side to side. Now and then he would break Into cursing, regardless of every thing; and now and then his Impa tience would get the better of him, and he would try to get up, ami poor Torn Elibleta'would have to plead with him la frtnsy. Elibleta was all alone with him the greater part of the time. She would sit and smooth his forehead by the hour, and talk to him and try to make hint forget. Sometimes It would be too cold for the children to go to school, and they would have to play In the kitchen, where Jurgis was, because It was the only room that was half warm. These were dreadful tlmev for Jurgis could get as cross as any bear; he was scarcely to be blamed, for he had enough to worry him. add It was hard when he was trying to take a nap to be kept awake by noisy and peevish children. Klshletn’s only resource In those limes was little Antanae; Indeed, It would be hard to aay how they could have gotten along gt all If |t had not been for little Antanae. It was the one consolation of Jurgis’ long Imprison ment that now he had time to look at his h#by. Teta Elsbleta would put the clothes basket In which tho baby elept alongside of his mattress, and Jurglg would lie upon one elbow sipl watch him bv the hour. Imagining things. Then little Antanas would open his eves—he was beginning to take nottce of things now. and he would smile— hotv he would smile! So Jurgis would begin to forget and bo happy, because he was In a world whore there was a thing so beautiful aa the sml|o of little Antanae. and because such a world tould not but be good at ilia heart of It. He looked more Ilka his father every hour, Elsbleta would say, end said It many times a day, because she saw that It pleaaed Jurgis; the poor, little terror-stricken woman was planning all oned giant who was Intrusted to bar care. Jurgis, who knew nothing about the age-long and everlasting hypocrisy of uomnn, would take tho bait and grin with delight; and then ho would hold Ms linger In front of little Antanas’ eyes, and move It this way and that: and laugh with glee to see the baby follow It. Thera Is no pet quite fascinating as a baby; ho would lc Into Jurgis* face with such uncanny i rlousnesa, and Jurgis would start and cry; "Paluk! Look; Minna, he knows his papa! He dees, he does! Tu mano nlrdele, the little rascal!" chapter XII. For three weeks after hie Injury Jurgis never got up from bed. It was a very obstinate sprain; the -awelllng would not go down, and the pain 8(111 continued. At the- end of that time, however, be could contain himself no longer, and began trying to walk a little every day, laboring to perauade himself that he was bettar. No argu ments could stop him, and threo or four days later he declared that he wae going back to work. He limped tq the cars and got to Brown’s, where he found that the boss had kept his place —that Is. waa willing to turn out Into the enow the poor devil he had hired In the meantime. Every now and then the pain would force Jurgis to stop work, but he stuck It out till nearly an hour before closing Then he was forced to acknowledge that he could hot go on without fainting: It almost broke his heart to do It, and he stood leaning agalnat a pillar, and weeping like u child. Two of the men hatl to help him to fhe car, and when ho got out he had tq sit down and wait in the •now till some one came along. So they put him to bed again, and •ent for the doctor, as they ought to have (lone In the beginning. It trans pired that he had twisted a tendon out of place, and could never have gotten well w ithout attention. Then he gripped the lidee of the bed, and ahut his testh together, and turned White with agony, while the doctor pulled and wrenched at his doctor ... would have to lie quiet for two months, and that If he went to work before {oat time he might lame himself for Three day* later there came another heavy snowstorm, and Jonaa and U#r|- Ja and ona and little Stanlslovoa all **t out together, an hour befora day break. to try to get to the yards. About "oon the last twq came back, the bqy •creatnlng with pain. Hla fingers were all frosted, It seemed. They had hag «/tve up trying to get to the yard*, and had nearly pertehed In a drift. All that they knew how to da was to hold B* ‘roua fingers nsar the Are, and so tittle htunlalovaa spent most of the day i,b °ut ]n horrible agony, till Jhcgle flew into a passion of quite certain that the would And her Place gone, and waa all unnerved when she finally got to Bruwn’e, and found that the forelady .herself had failed to come, and waa therefore compelled to be lenient. One of the consequences of this epl sode was that the Aret Joints of. three of the little boy s Angers were permn 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. Jurgis was called upon to do the beating, and ns It hurt his foot fie did It with end say. tbat the best dog will turn cross If he be kept chained all the time, and It wai the same with the man; he had not a thing to do all day but lie an< curse his fate, and the time came when he wanted to curse everything. This was never for very lor.,, ever, for when Ona began to cry Jurgla could not stay angry. The poor fellow looked like a homeless ghosf, with Ills checks sunken In and hla long black hair straggling Jnto his eyes; he was too discouraged to cut It, or to think about hla appearance. Hla muscle were wasting away, and what were jet were soft and Aabby. He bad no ap petite, and they pould not efTord to tempt h|m with deltcaclea. It was better, he said, that he should not eat, It was * saving. About the end of Idarch he had got hold of One’s bonk book, and learned that there waa only three dollars left to them In the world. But perhaps the worst of the con sequences of this long siege was that nhsy last another membsr of their fam ily; brother Jonaa disappeared. One Saturday night he did not come horde, and thereafter qll their effort* to get trace of him were futile. It waa said by the boas at Durham's that he had gotten hla week's money and left there. That might not be true, of Course, for sometimes they would spy that when a man had been killed; It waa the easiest way out of It for all concerned. 'When, for instance, a man had fallen Into on* pf th* rendering tanks and had been made Into pure leaf lard and K orless fertiliser, there wes no use ting the fact out an^ making his family unhappy. More probable, how e'er, was the theury that Jonas had deserted them, and gone on the road, seeking happiness. He had been dis contented for a long time, am) not without aom* cause. He paid rood board, and waa yet obliged to live In a family where nohody got enough to cat. And tyarlja would ke«p giving them all her money, and of course he could not but feel tbat he waa called upon to do the same. Then there were crying brata and all sorts pf tnlsery; a man would have bad to be a good deal of a hero to [?f* “ mI swore Ilka a roadman, dscl '«« that he would kill him If he did not i*Ji that and night the family **? half erased with fear that' Ona h, > ' h * boy had loat their places; and ■a the morning they set out earlier than »'«. after the little fellow had been "JR" "Uh a stick by Jurgis.

Hero there was not room by ths Are. arid through tho winter tho kitchen had seldom been warm enough for comfort. Bo, with tho springtime, what was mors likely than that th* wild Idea of escaping had come to him? Two y®4rs he had been'yoked - Ilk* a hone to a half-ton truck In Barham's dark cellars with never a real, save on, Sun days nnd four holidays In the year, and with never a word of thanks— only hicks and blows and curses, such as no decent dog qrotjld h*v* stood. And now the winter was ovsr, and the spring wind* were blowing—and with a day’s walk a man might put the amok* of Pscklngtown behind Him for ever, and b* where the grass was green and ths Aowsrs gll ths colors pf the rainbow! But now the Income of the family paa cut down more than one-third, and the food demand was cut only ons- elsventh, so that .they ware worse off than ever.

A man enn get used anything in tho course of time, nnd Jurgis had got used to lying about the house. Onu saw this and was very careful not to destroy Ills peace mlml by letting hint know how very much pain she was suffering. It was now the time of th* spring rains, nnd Ona had often to ride to her work ' spite of the expense; she was getting paler every day, nnd sometimes, In spite of her gqpd resolutions. It pained her that Jurgis did not notice It. Sho wondered if he cared for her as much aa ever. If all this misery was not wsaring out his lov*. |m bad la b# away from him ell ths lime nn.i bt u her own troubles while lie wus bearing his; and then, when she came home she was so worn out; and whenever they talked they had only their wor ries to talk of—truly It was hard.

The woe of this would damo up a Ong sometimes—at night ah* would suddenly clasp her big husband In her arms and break Into passionate weep ing, demanding to know. If he really lovsd her. Poor Jurgis, who had In truth grown mors matter-of-fact un der the endless pressure of penury, woqld not know what to make of tb*es things, and could only try to recollect when n® had last been crass: and so Ona would have to forgive hint and rob herself to sleep. The latter part of April Jurgla went in see the doctor, and was given a bandage to lace about his anltle. nnd old that h® might go back to work. It needed more than the permission of tho doctor, however, for when he S lowed up on the killing Poor of rown’s, he was told by the foreman that It had not been possible to keep his Job for hlni.
