Her word* fairly drove him wild, He tore hla hands loose and flung her off. “Answer me," he cried. "I say— answer me!” She sank down upon the floor, be ginning to cry again. It was like list ening to the moan of a damned souL ' and Jurats could not stand It. He smote his flat upon the table by his side and shouted agsln at her, "An swer me!" She began to scream aloud, her voice like the voice of some wild beast. "Ah! ah! I can't! I can't do It!" "Why can’t you do It?" he shouted. “I don't know bowl" He sprang and caught her by the arm, lifting her up and glaring Into her face. "Tell me where you were last night!" he panted. "Quick, out with it!" Then she began to whisper, one word at a time: "I—was In—a house—down town." "What bouse? What do you mean?" She tried to hide her eyes away, but he held her. "Hiss Henderson's house,'' she gasped. He did not understand at drat. "Miss Henderson's house?" he echoed. And then suddenly, as In an explosion, the horrible truth burst over him, and he reeled and staggered back with scream. An Instant later he leaped at her, as she lay gTovollIng at his feet. He seized hor by the throat “Tell mel" he gasped, hoarsely. “Quick I Who took you to that place?" She tried to get away, making him furious; he thought It was fear, or the pain of hla clutch—he did not un- I demand that It was the agony of her j ahame. Still she answered him: "Con- fnor." "Connorl" he gasped, "who la Con- I nor?" ; "The boss," she answered. "The I man”— ’ He tightened hla grip. In hla frenzy, and only when he saw her eyes closing • did he realize that he waa choking her. | Then he relaxed his fingers and ! crouched, waiting until she opened her f lids again. IDs breath beat hot Into ■ her face. "Tell me," he whispered, at last; ' "tell me about It." She lay perfectly motionless, and he had to hold his breath to catch her words. "I did not want—to do It," she said; "I tried—I tried not to do It. I only did It—to save us. It was our ' only chance." Again for a space there was no sound but his panting. Ona's eyes closed, and when she spoke again she did not open them. “Ho told me—he would have me turned off. He told me —we would—we would all of us lose our places. We could never get any- thing to do—here—again. He—he meant It—he would have ruined us." Jurats' arms were shaking so that he could scarcely hold himself up, and lurched forward now and then as he listened. "When—when did this be gin?" be gasped. “At the very first," she said. She spoke as If In a trance. “It was all- it was their plot—Miss Henderson's plot. She hated me. And he—he want ed me. He used to speak to me—out on the platform. Then he began to— to make love to me. He offered me money. He begged me—he sold he loved me. Then he threatened me. He knew all about us, he knew we would starve. He knew your boas—he knew Marija's. lie would hound us to death, he said—then he said If I would—If I— we would all of ua be sure of work— always." A moment ago her face had been ashen gray, now It was scarlet. 8he was beginning to breathe hard again. Jurats made not a sound.' “That was two months ago. Then ha wanted me to come—to that house. He wanted me to stay there. He said all of us—that we would not have to work. He made me come there—In tho evenings. I told you—you thought I Jwaa at the factory. Then—one night ; it snowed, and I couldn't get back. i And last night—the cars were stopped. It waa such a little thing—to ruin us all." All this aha had said without a quiver; sho lay still as death, not an .eyelid moving. And Jlirgts, too, said •not a word. He lifted himself by the bed, and stood up. He did not stop for another glance at her, but went to the door and opened It. He did not see Eltbleta. crouching terrified In the cor. ner. He went out, hatless, leaving the street door open behind him. The In stant his feet were on the sidewalk he broke Into a run. He ran like one possessed, blindly, furiously, looking .neither to the right nor left. He waa on Ashland avenue before exhaustion compelled him to slow down, and then, noticing a car, he made a dart for It and drew him self aboard. Ills eyes were wild and his hair flying, and he was breathltfg hoarsely, like a wounded bull; but the people on the car did not notice this ■■ - it urm - .1 Jur gls smelt should exhibit an aspect to correspond. They began to give way before him as usual. The conductor took his nickel gingerly, with the tips of his fingers, and then left him with the platform to himself. Jurats did not even notice It—his thoughts were far aaray. Within his soul It was like a roaring furnace; he stood waiting, waiting, crouching as If for a spring. He had some of his breath back when the car came to the entrance of the, yards, and so he leaped off and atarted again, racing at full speed. Peo ple turned and stared at him, but he saw no one. There waa the factory, and he bounded through the doorway and down the corridor. He knew the room where On a worked, and he knew Connor, the boss of the loading gang outside. He looked for the man as he sprang Into the room. The truckmen were hard at work, loading the freshly packed boxes and barrels upon the cars. Jurgts shot one swift glance up and down the platform. The man was not on It. But then, suddenly, he heard a voice In the cor ridor, and started for It with a bound. In an Instant more he fronted the boss. He was a big, red-faced Irishman, coarse featured and smelling of liquor. He saw Jurgls as he crossed the threshold, and turned white. He hesi tated one second, as If meaning to run, and In the next his assailant was upon him. He put up his hands to protect his face, but Jurgls, lunging with all the power of his arm and body, struck him fairly between the eyes and knocked him backward. The next mo ment he was on top of him, burying his fingers In his throat. To Jurgts this man's whole presence reeked of the cr|me he had committed; the touch of. his body was madness to him. It set every nerve of him a-tremb- Ilng; It aroused all the demon In his soul. It had worked Its will upon Ono, this great beast—and now ho had It, he had It! It was his turn tfow! Things swam blood before him, and he lllllll* ■WWH viutrti VCIVIO stasis, utiu no screamed aloud In his fury, lifting hla victim and smashing hla head upon the floor. The place, of course, was In an up- roar, women fainting and shrieking, and men rushing In. Jurgls was so bent upon his task that he knew nothing of this, and scarcely realized that people were trying to Interfere with him; It was only when half a dozen men had seized him by the legs nnd shoulders und were pulling at hint that he understood tlint he was losing his prey. In a flash he had bent down nnd sunk his teeth Into the man's cheek. They got him down upon the floor, dinging to him by his arms nnd legs, and still they could hardly hold him. Hr fought like a tiger, writhing and twisting, half flinging them off, and stnrtlng toward bis unconscious enemy. But yet others rushed In, until there was u little mountain of twisted limbs nnd bodies, heaving nnd tossing, and working Its way nbout the room. In the end by their sheer weight they choked the breath out of him, nnd then they carried him to the company police station, where he lay still until they hnd summoned a patrol wagon to take him away. CHAPTER XVI. When Jurgls got up again he went quietly enough. He was exhausted and half dazed, and besides he saw the blue uniforms of the policemen. He drove In a patrol wngon with hnlf a dozen of them watching him; keeping as far away as possible, however, on account of the fertiliser.

It was as much os a man's very life was worth to anger them, hers In their Inmost lair; like aa not a dozen would pile on to him at once, and pound his face Into a pulp. It would be nothing unusual If he got bis skull cracked In the melee—In which cose they would report that be had been drunk and had fallen down, and there would be no one to know the difference or to care. So a barred door clanged upon Jur- tls and he sat down upon n bench and juried his face In his hands. He was alone; he hod the afternoon and all of the night to himself. At flrst he was like a wild beast that has glutted Itself; he was In a dull stupor of satisfaction. He had done up the scoundrel pretty well—not as well as he would have If they had given him a minute more, but pretty well, all the same; the ends of his An gers were atlll tingling from their con tact with the fellow's throat.

It would not help to feed her and her child; she would certainly lose her place, while he—what was to happen to him God only knew.

At midnight they opened the station house to the homeless wan derers who were crowded about the door, shivering In the winter blast, and they thronged Into the corridor outside of the cells. Some of them stretched themselves out. on the bare stone floor and fell to snoring; others sat up, laughing and talking, cursing and quarrelling. The air waa fetid with their breath, yet In spite of this some of them smelt Jurgls and called down tho torments of hell upon him, while ho lay In a fnr corner of hts cell, suffered for this house, how ipuch they hnd all of them suffered! It was their one hope of respite, as long as they lived; they had put all their money Into It—and they were working people, poor peAple, whose money was their strength, the very substance of them, body and soul, the thing by which they lived and for lack of which they died. And they would lose It all; they would be turned out Into the streets, and have to hide In some Icy garret, and live or die as beat they could! Jurgls hnd all the night—and many more nights—to think about this, and he saw the thing In Its details; he lived It alL as If he were there. They would sell their furniture, and then run Into debt at the'stores, and then be re fused credit; they would borrow a lit tle from Bzedvllasez, whoso delicates sen store was tottering on the brink of rilln; the neighbors would help them a little—poor, sick Jadvyga would bi' a few spare pennies, as she always when the people were starving, and Tamosslus Kusletka would bring them the proceeds of a night’s Addling- So they would struggle to hang on until he got out of Jail—or would they,know that he waa In Jail, would they be able to find out anything about him? Would they be allowed to see him—or would It be u K rt of his punishment to be kept In iterance about their fate? Hie mind would hang upon the worst possibilities; he saw Ona III and tor tured, MarIJa out of her place, little Stanlslovas unable to get to work for the snow, the whole family turned out on the street. God Almighty! would they actually let them lie down In the street and die? Would there be no help even then—would they wander about In the snow till they (rose? Jurgls had never seen any dead bodies In the streets, but he had seen people evicted and disappear, no one knew where; and though the city had a re lief bureau, though there waa a char ity organization society In the stock yards District, In all his life there he had never heard of either of them. beater and In the one beyond a yelling They did not Advertise their activities. no my in u im uui iiui ui ms ten, counting the throbblnge of the blood In hla forehead. They had brought him Ills supper, which was “duffers and dope"—being hunks of dry bread on a tin plate, and coffee, called “dope" • because It waa drugged to keep the prisoners quiet. Jurgls had not known this, or he would have swallowed the stuff In despera tion; as It wns, every nerve of him was n-qulver with shame and rage. To ward morning the place fell silent, and he got up and began to pace nil cell; and then within the soul of him then rose up a fiend, red-eyed and cruel, and tore out the strings of his heart It was not for himself that he suf fered—what did n man who worked In Durham's fertiliser mill care about anything that the world might do to him! What was any tyranny of prison compared with the tyranny of the past, of the thing that had happened and could not be recalled, of the memory that could never be effaced! The hor ror of It drove him mad; he stretched out his arms to heaven, crying out for deliverance from It—and there was no deliverance, then was no power even In heaven that could undo the past. It wns a ghost that would not down; It followed him, It seised upon him and beat him to the ground. Ah. if only he could have foreseen It—but then he would have foreseen II, If he had not been u fool I He smote his hands upon him forehead, cursing himself because he had not stood between her and a fate every one knotv to be so common. He should have taken her away, even If It were to lie down and die of starv ation In the gutters of Chicago's streets! And now—oh. It could not be true; It was too monstrous, too hor rible! . It was a thing that could not bs faced; a new shuddering seised him every time he tried to think of It. No, there was no bearing the load of It, there was no living under IL There would be none for her—he knew that he might pardon her. might plead with her on his knees, but she would never look him In the face again, she would never bo bis wife again. The shams of It would kill her—there could be no other deliverance, and It was best that she should die. That was simple and clear, and yet, with cruel Inconsistency, whenever he escaped from this nightmare It was to suffer and cry out at the vision of Ona starving. They had put him In Jail, and they would keep him here a long time, years maybe. And Ona would surely not go to work again, broken nnd crushed as she was. And Elzbtata and MarIJa. too, might lose their places —If that hell-fleml Connor chose to set to work to ruin them, they would all be turned out. And even If he did not. they eoulfl not live—even If the boys left school again, they could surely not pay all the bills without him and Ona. They had only a few dollars now— they had Ju»t paid .the rent of the house a week ago, and that after It was two weeks overdue. So It would be due again In a week! They would have no money to pay It then—and thev would lose the house, after all their long, heart-breaking struggle. Three limes now the agent had warned him that he would not tolerate another ^Perhaps It was very base, of Jurgls to be thinking about the house when he had the other unspeakable thing to flit bis mind; yet, how much ho had hnvfng more calls than they could.at tend to without that.

Hang him, per haps, or beat him to death— (othlng would have surprised Jurgts, who knew little of the laws. Yet he had picked up gossip enough to hare It occur re him that the loud-voiced man upon the bench might be the notorious Justice Callahan, about whom the people of Packlngtown spoke with bated breath. "Pat" Callahan—"Growler" Pat, as he had been known before he ascend ed the bench—had begun life as I butcher boy and a bruiser of local rep utation; he had gone Into politics al most as soon as he had learned to talk, and had held two offices at once before ha was old enough to vote. If Scully wns tho thumb, Pat Callahan was the flrst finger of the unseen hand where by the packers held down the people of the district. No politician In Chi cago ranked higher In their confidence, he had been at It a long time—had been the business agent In the city council of old Durham, the self-made merchant, away back In the early days when the whole city of Chicago had been up at auction. “Growler" Pat had given up holding city offices very early In his career—caring only for party power, and giving the rest of his time to superintending his dives and brothels. ,• Of late years, however, since his children were growing up. he had be gun to value respectability, and had himself made a magistrate, a position for which he was admirably fitted, be cause of hts strong conservatism and his contempt for "foreigners." Jurgls sat gazing about the room for an hour or two'; he was In hopes that some • one of the family would come, but In thle he was disappointed. Fin ally, he was led before the bar, and a lawyer for the company appeared against him. Conner was under the doctor's care, the lawyer explained briefly, and If His Honor would hold the prisoner for a week "Three hundred dollars,” said His Honor promptly. Jurgls was staring from the Judge to the lawyer In perplexity. “Have you any one to go on your bond?” de manded the Judge and then a clerk who stood at Jurgls’ elbow explained to him what this melnt. The latter shook his head, and before he real ized what had happened the police men were leading him away again. They took him to a room where other prisoners were waiting, and here he stayed until court adjourned, when he had another long and bitterly cold ride In a patrol wagon to the county Jail, which Is on the north side of the city, and nine or ten miles from the stock- yards. Here they searched Jurgls, leaving him only his money, which consisted of 15 cents. Then they led him to a room and told him to strip for a bath, after which he had to walk down a long gallery, past the grated cell doors of the Inmates of (he Jail. This waa a great event to the latter—the dally review of the new arrivals, all stark naked, and many And diverting were the comments. Jurgls was required to stay In the bath longer than any one, In the vain hope of getting out of him a few of his phosphates and acids. The prisoners roomed two In a cell, but that day there was one left over, and he waa the one. The cells wars In tiers, opening upon galleries. Hts cell was about 6 feet by 7 In else, with a atone floor and a heavy wooden bench built Into It. There wae no window—the only light came from windows near the root at one end of the court outside. There were two bunks, one above the other, eaoh with a straw mattress and a pair of gray blankets—the latter stiff as boards with tilth, and alive with fleas, bedbugs and lice. tVhen Jurgts lifted up the mattrese he discovered beneath It a layer of scurrying roaches, al most as badly frightened as himself. Here they brought him more "duff ers and dope," with the addition of a bowl of soup. Many of the prisoners had their meals brought In from a res taurant, but Jurgls had no money for that. Some had books to read and cords to play, with candles to.burn by night, but Jurgls waa all alone In the darkness and silence. He could not sleep again; there was the same mad dening procession of thoughts that lashed him like whips upon his naked back. When night fell he was pacing up and down his cell like a wild beast that bgeaka Its teeth upon the bars of WHOLE FAMILY RUINED BY BRUTALITY OF BOSS shown him an old valentine that she had picked up In a paper store for three cents—dingy and shop-worn, but with blight colors, and figures of an gels and doves. She had wiped all the specks off this and was going to set It on the mantel, where the children could see It. Great sobs shook Jurgls at this memory. They would spend their Christmas In misery and despair, with him In prison and Ona 111 and their home In desolation. Ah, It was too cruel! Why at least had they not left him alone! Why, after they had shut him In Jail, must they be ringing Christmas chimes In his ears! But no, their bells were not ringing for him—their Chrlatmap was not meant for him; they were simply not counting him at all. He was of no consequence—he was flung aside, like a bit of trash, the carcass of some animal. It was horrible, horrible! His wife might be dying, his baby might be starving, his whole family might be perishing In the cold—and all the while they were ringing their Christmas chimes! And the bitter mockery of >11 this was punishment for him! They put him In a "place where the snow could not beat In. where the cold could not eat through his bones; they brought him food and drink—why. In the.name of heaven. If they must pun ish him, did they not put his family In Jail and leave him outside—why. could they find no better way to punish him than to leave three weak women and alx helpless children to starve and freeze? That was their law; that was their i ustlce! Jurgls stood upright, trem- •llng with passion, his hands clenched and his arms upraised, hla whole soul ablaze with hatred and defiance. Then thousand curses upon them and their law! Their Justice—it was a lie, It was a lie, a hideous, brutal lie, a thing too black and hateful for any world but a world of nightmares. It was a sham and a loathsome mockery. Thera was no Justice, there was. no right, anywhere In It—It was only force, it was tyranny, the trill and the power, reckless and unrestrained! They had ground him beneath their heel, they had devoured all his sub- NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD. Its cage. Now and thon In his frenzy he would fling himself against the walls of the place, beating his hands upon them. They cut him and bruised him—they were cold end merciless as the nt«n who bu|lt them. In the. distance there .wae* a church tower bell that tolled the houre one by one. When It came to midnight Jurgle waa tying upon the floor with his head In hie arms, listening. Instead of fall ing allent at the end, the bell broke Into a sudden clangor. Jurgle raised hie head; what cduld that mean—a Are III thle Jail! But then he mode out a melody In the ringing; there were chimes. And they eeemed to waken the city—all around, for and near, there were belle, ringing wild music. For fully a minute Jurgle lay lost In wonder, before, alt at once, the mean ing of It broke over him—that this was Christmas Eve! Christmas Eva—he had forgotten It entirely! There wae a breaking of floodgates, a whirl of new memories and new griefs rushing Into his mind. In far Lithuania they had celebrated Christmas; and It came to him aa It It had been yesterday—himself a little child, with his lost brother and his dead father In the cabin In the deep black forest, where the snow fell alt day and all night and burled them from the world. It was too far off for Santa Claua In Lithuania, but It waa no: too far tor peace and good will to rata, for the wonder-bearing vision of the Christ child. And even In Packlngtown they had not forgotten It—eome gleam of It had never failed to break their dark ness. Last Christmas svs and all Christmas day Jurgls had tolled on the killing beds, and Ona at wrapping hams, and stUI they had found strength enough to take the children for a walk upon the avenue, to see the store windows all decorated with Christmas trees and ablase with elec tric lights. In one window there would be live geese. In another marvels In sugar—pink and white canes big enough for ogres, and cakes with cher ubs upon them; In a third there woult$ be rows of fat yellow turkeys, deco rated with rosettes, and rablbta and squirrels hanging; In a fourth would be a fairy land of toys—lovely dolls with pink" dresses, and woolly sheep and drums and soldier hats. Nor did they have to go without their share of all this, either. The last time they had had a big basket with them and all their, Christmas market ing to do—a rout of pork and a cab bage for Ona and a rubber doll that squeaked and a little green cornucopia full of candy to be hung from the gas Jet and gued at by half a doben pairs of longing eyes. Even half a year of the sausage ma chines end.the fertilizer mill had not been able to kilt the thought of Christ mas In them.
