A simple-minded coterie ot Lithuanians arrive In Chlcagd, seeking employment, and are conducted to Packingtown by a (riend. Jurgls, a giant In strength, Is betrothed to Ona, odd the first chapter tells of the wedding in all its grotesqueness. After much tribulation the entire fam ily obtalns^work In the stockyards—all but Ona, who, Jurgls said, should The terrible tale ot the slaughter houses is told with almost revolt ing detail—the (11th, the overworking of hands, the struggle to keep up with the pacemakers, is all vividly doplcted. The little family buys a house on the Instalment plan, only to find they have been swindled, and Ona Is forced to seek work to meet the actual living expenses and the Interest on the purchase contract, of which they learn too late. Just as Ona and Jurgls pay Marlja what they owe her, Jurgls turns his ankle and Is laid up tor months. His nature begins to change. He becomes cross and savage with pain. Starvation stares the family In the (ace. Finally Jurgls begins work in the fertilizer plant—the deadliest of til—and Elzbleta slaves In the sausago stufllng department. The'llttle boys of the family learn to swear, drink and smoke. Gradually the grind throws the family Into constant stupor. They talk little—only eat what they can. sleep when they can, and work, It seems to them, qlwaya Then Opa.confesses, under compulsion, that In order to save the entire family from financial destruction and loss of lobs. Connor, foreman of her department In the yards, had forced her to receive attentions from him. Jurgls almost kills her. Then he rusHes blindly to the yards and tries to kill Connor, sinking his teeth Into him, and Anally being dragged off by a dozen men. Jurgls is then arrested and spends Christ mas Eve In prison, awaiting trial. . Jurgls, In Jail, meets a cracksman and Is initiated Into the mysteries of crime. Later he Is sentenced to thirty days In. prison for assaulting Connor. He learns from a messenger that his family Is starving. Finally he Is released and returns to what once was his home. Another family has it. Jurgls is unable to discover where Ona and the rest of the little coterie reside. He is told they are starving and freezing to death In some bleak garret. Jurgls traces his family to a shanty to And his wife dying. He seeks * a midwife, who laughs In nls face when he tells her he has only a dollar and a quarter, but she Anally relents and goes with him.

When he had shoveled the mould full of eand and reached for the pounder to pound it with. It was after the manner of a canoeist, running rapids and seising a pols at sight of a submerged rock. Ail day long thii man would toll thus, hla whole being centered upon the pur pose of making twanty-three instead of twenty-two and a half cents an hour; and then hla product would be reck oned by the census-taker. and Jubilant captains of Industry would boast of It In their banquet halls, telling how our workers are nearly twice as efficient as those of any other country. If we are the greatest nation the sun ever shone upon. It would seem to be mainly be cause we have been able to goad our wage-earners to this pitch of frenzy; though there are a few other things that are great among us. Including our drink bill, which la a billion and a quarter of dollars a year, and doubling Itself every decade. There was a machine which stamped out the- Iron plates, and then another which, with a mighty thud, mashed them to the shape of the sitting-down portion of the American farmer. Then they were piled upon a truck, and It was Jurgls’ task to wheel them to the room where the machines were “asaem- bled.” This was child's play for him, and he got a dollar and twenty-Ave cents a day for It; on Saturday he paid- Anlele the seventy-Ave cents a week he owed her for (he use of her garret, and aleo redeemed hts overcoat, which Elsbieta bad put In pawn when he was in Jail. , This last was a great blessing. A man cannot go about In midwinter Jn Chicago with po overcoat and not pay for It, and Jurgls had to walk or ride Ave or six miles back and forth to hla work. It »o happened that half of this was In one direction and half In anoth er, necessitating a change of cars. The taw required that transfers- be given at all intersecting points, but the rail way corporation had gotten around this by arranging a pretense at separate ^S&^henever he.wished to ride, he had to pay ten cents each way, or over 10 pet- cent of hla Income to this pow- er, which had gotten Its franchise long •go by buylpg up the city council In the (ace of popular clamor amounting almost to a rebellion. Tired as he felt at night, and dark and bitter cold as it was In the morning. Jnrgta generally chose to walk. At the hours other workmen were traveling the street car monopoly saw At to put on so few cars ha man hanslnw every foot ot the backs of them and often crouching upon the anow-covered roof. Of course, the doors could never be closed; and so (he car* were as cold as outdoors. Jurgls, like many others, found It better to spend hla fare for a drink and a free lunch, to give him strength to walk. These; however, were alt alight mat ters to a man who had escaped from Durham's fertiliser mill. Jurgls began to pick up heart again and to make plan*. He had lost hla houaa, but then the awful load of the rent and Interest was off his shoulders, and when Marlja was well again they could start over and save. In the shop where he worked was a man, a Lithuanian like himself, whom the others spoke of In admiring whlspera, because of tho mighty feats * ‘ ” he sat he was performing. Al machine turning bolts; All day and to study English and learn to rend. In addition, because he had a family of children to support and his earn-. vero not chough, on Saturdays and Sundays he served os a watchman; he was required to press two buttons at opposite enda of a building ever Ave minutes, and aa „the walk only tool him two minutes, he had three min utes to study between each trip. Jur gls felt Jealous of this fellow; for that was the sort of thing he himself had dreamed of, two or three years He might do It even yet. If h fair chance—he might attract attention and become a skilled man or a boss, os some had done In this place. Suppose that .Marlja could get a Job In the big mill where they made binder twine- then they would move Into this neigh borhood, end he would really have a chance. With a hope like that, there was some usa In living; to And a place where you were treated Ilka a. human being—by Ood! he would show them ■how he could appreciate IL He laughed to himself as he thought he ‘ ow he would hang on to this Job! And then one afternoon, the ninth of his work in the place, when he went to get his overcoat he saw f men crowded before a place. _ door, and when he went over and asked what it was, they told him that beginning with the morrow hla department pt the harvester works would be closed until further notice! chaptIr XXI. That was the way they did it! There was not half an' hour’s warning—the works wer* closed! It happened that way before, aakNthe men, and It would happen that way forever. They had mad* all the harvesting machines that the world needed, and now they had to wait till some wore out! It waa no body’s fault—that was the way of It; and thousands of men and women were turned out In the dead of winter, to live upon their savings If they had any, and otherwise to die. So many tens of thousands already in the city, home less and begging for work, and •tow- several thousand more added to them! Jurgls walked home with hts pittance that there would be men banging to of pay In bto pocket, heart-broken. overwhelmed. One more bandage had been torn from hla eyes, one more pit- fall was revealed to him I Of what help was kindness and decency on tho part of employers—when they could not keep a job for him, when there were more harvesting machines mad* than the world was able to buy! What a hellish mockery It was. anyway, that a man should slave to make harvesting machines for the country-, only to be turned out to starve for doing hla duty too well I It took hint two days to get over this heart-sickening disappointment. Ho did not sirlnk anything, because Els bieta got Ills money for safe-keeping, and knew him too well to be In the least frightened by hie angry demands. He stayed up In the garret, however, and sulked—what was the uso of man's hunting a Job when It waa taken from him beforo he had time to learn the work? But then their money was ;olng again, nnd little Antanas was mngry and crying with ths bitter cold t the garret. Also Madame Haupt, the midwife, was after him for soino money. So ho went out once more, For anothor fen days he roamed the streets and alleys of tho huge city, alck and hungry, begging for any kind of work. He tried In stores'and offices, In restaurants mill hotels, along the docks and In tho railroad yards, In warehouses and mills and went to every corner of the world. There were often one or two chances—but there win- always a hundred m.-n f-,r every chance, and hts turn would not come. At night ho crept Into sheds and col lies anil doorways -until there i-iinu- u spell of helatuil winter weather, with a ; lying gale, and the thermometer live degrees below zero at supdown and falling all night. Then Jtirgln fought like a wild beast to gat Into the big Harrison street polite station, and alopt down In a corridor, crowded with two other men upon a single step. ■ He had to Aght often In these days— to Agbt for n.plnco near tho factory I now nnd again with gam. on tho street. Ho found, for Instance, that the buslhoss of carrying satchels for railroad passengers was a pre empted on*—whenever h* essayed It, eight nr ten men and boys would fall upon him and force him to run for hla life. They always hod. the policeman “squared,' and so there was no usa In r, protsctlon. urgis did not starve to death was due solely to the plttnnce the children brought hlpi- And even this was never certain. For one thing, tho cold waa almost more than ths children could bear, and then they, too. Ware m perpetual peril from rivals who plund ered and beat them. The law waa against them, too—little Vlllmas, who waa really eloven, but did not look to bo eight, waa stopped on the streets by a severe old lady In spectacles, who told him that he waa too young to be work ing and that If he did not atop selling papers aha would send a truant officer after him. Also one night a strange man caught little Kotrlnn by the arm and tried to persuade her Into a dark cellarway, an experience which Ailed her with such terror that ah* was hard ly able to be kept at work. At last, on a Sunday, as there was no uao looking for work, Jurgls went home by stealing ride* on the cars. He found that they had been waiting for him for three days—there was a chance of a Job for him It waa quite a story. Little Juozapaa, who waa nearly craxy • with hunger these days, had gone out on the street to beg for himself. Juozdpas had only know the place, over a feed store: somebody had wanted her to go there, but she had not eared to, for she thought that It must have somethlns t - -I" with i ,'llgpui I tip- pi I--I did not like her to have anything to do with strange religions. They w-oro rich people who came to live there to And out about the poor peoplo; but what good thoy expected It would do them to know ono could not Imaglno, So ' ~ ‘ ' - young lady Inughei a loss for nn nnawei gazed about hor, and thought of cynical remnrk that hod been made to her, that she was standing upon the brink of the pit of hell nnd throwing In snowball* to lower the temperature Elzbleta waz' glad to have somebody to listen, and sh* told all their wots— what had happened to Ona, and the Jail, and the loss of their home, nnd MnrIJa's accident, and how Ona had died, and how Jurgls could get no work. As she listened the pretty young lady'a eyes Ailed with tears and In the midst or It she burst Into weep ing and hid her face on Elzbleta'a shoulder, quite regardless of the fact that the woman had nn a dirty old wrapper and that the garret was full of fltaa. Poor Elzbleta.- was ashamed of herself (or having told ao woeful a tale, and the other had to beg and plead with her to get her to go on. The end of It waa that the young lady sent them a basket of things to snt, and left a let ter that Jurgls was to take -to a gentle man who wns superintendent In one of the mills of tho great steel work* In South f'hlcngo. "He will get Jurgls something to do,” tho yoi said, and added, smiling tears, ”lf he doesn’t he will never mar ry me.” Tho steel work# were tltteen mile* nway, nnd, as usual, It waa so con trived that one had to pay two fare* to get there. Far and wide the sky was itarlng with the red glare that leaped from rowa of towering chimneys—for It waa pitch dark when Jurgls arrived, The vast works, a city In themselves. wagon when a little child, hut ho got himself a broomstick, which he put under his arm for a crutch. He had fallen In with some other children and found the way to Mike Beully's dump, which lay three or four blocks away. To this place there cam* every day many hundreds ol wagon loads ot garbage and trash from the lake meat-bones, alt of It half frozen and quite uhkpolled. Little Juozapaa gorged himself, and came home with a newspaper full, which he was feeding to Antanas when hla mother cam* In. Elzbleta was horrided, for ahe did not believe that the food out of the dump* waa At to eat. The next day, howevar, when no harm cam* of It and Juox- apas began to cry with hunger, sh* gave In and said that ha might go again. And thit afternoon he cam* home with a story of how.whlla he had been digging away with a stick a lady upon the street had called him. A real Ane lady, th* little boy ex plained, a beautiful lady; and ahe wanted to know alt about him, and whether he got the garbage for chick ens. and why he walked with a broom stick, and why Ona had died, and how Jurgls had come to go to Jail, and waa the matter with Marlja, and everything. In the end ahe had asked where he lived, and said that ahe waa coming to see him, and bring him a new crutch to walk with. Hhe had on a hat with a bird upon It, Juozapaa added, and a loeg fur snake around her neck. She really came, the very next morning, and climbed the ladder to the garret, and stood and stared about her, urnlng pale at the sight of the blood stains on the Aoor where Ona had died. She was a "settlement worker,” she explained to Elzbleta—eh* lived around on Ashland avenue.

A river of them poured In through the gate—and then gradually ebbed nway again, until there ware only a few late ones running, and the watchman poring up and down, and the hungry stranger* stamping and shivering. Jurgls presented his precious letter. The gatekeeper waa surly, and put hltn through a catechism, but he Instated that he knew nothing, and aa he had taken she precaution to seal hla letter, there waa nothing for the gatekeeper to do but send It to the person to whom It was addressed. A messenger came back to aay that Jurgls should wait, and so he came Inside of the gate, per haps not aorry enough that there were others less fortunate watching him with greedy eyes. The great mills were getting under way—one could hoar a vast stirring, a rolling and rumbling and hammering.

Then a whistle would tool and across the curtain ot the theater would come little engine with a carload of some- la be thing dumped Into one of the bare cinders under foot, mowing black smoke above. On one side of the grounds ran a railroad with a dozen tracks, and on the other side lay the lake, where steamej-a cams to load. Jurgls had time nough to atare and speculate, for It was two hours before he was summoned. He went Into the ofdce building, where a company time keeper Interviewed him. The superin tendent was busy, he said, but hb (the timekeeper) would try to And Jurgls a Job. 11 had never worked In a ateel mill before? But he was ready for anything? Well, then, they would go and So they began a tour, among alghta that made Jurgls stare amazed. He wondered if over he could get used to ace like this, where the _ _ deafening thunder, and whistles shrieked warnings on all sides of him at once; where miniature steam engines came rushing upon him, and slxxllng, quivering, white-hot masses of metal sped past him, and explosions of Are and Aamlng sparks dszsled him and scorched hi* face. The men In these mill* were all black with soot, snd hollow-eyed and gAunt; they worked with Aerce Intensity, rushing here and there, and never lifting their eyes from their task*- Jurgls clung to hi* guide like a scared child to Its nurse, and white the latter hailed on* foreman after another to ask If they could us* another unskilled man, he stared about him and marveled. He was taken to the Bessemer fur nace, where they mad* billets of steel— a dome-like building the else of a big theater. Jurgls stood where the bal cony of the theater would have been, and opposite, by the stage, be saw three giant caldrons, big enough foe all the devil* of hell to brew their broth Jn, full of something whit* and bilndlpg, bubbling and splashing, roar- aa If volcanoes were blowing □ugh It—one had to about to be ip In the place. Liquid Are would leap from the** caldrons and scatter Ilka bomb* below—and men were work ing there, seemingly careless, so that Jurgls caught hla breath with fright. another train would back up-and aud dimly, without an Instant's warning, one of tlin giant kettles began to tilt and topple, flinging out a Jet of hissing, roaring flame. Jurgls shrank back ap palled, for he thought It was an acci dent; there fell a pTflar of white flame, dazzling as the sun, sw-lshtnR like I huge treo falling In the forest. A tor rent of spnrks swept all tho way across tli" ImlMlin-, n\ i t u h.'lmlm; - v- i y thing, hiding It from sight; nnd then Jurgls looked through the Angers of lilt hands nnd saw pouring out of the caldron n cascade of living, leaping Are, scorching the eyeballs. Incandescent rainbows shone above It; but the stream Itself wae white, Ineffable. Out of the re gion* of wonder It streamed, the very river of life; and the soul leaped up at thb sight of It, fled back uinn It, d resistless, pack Into far-off lands, where beauty and terror dwell. Then tho great caldron tilted bock again, empty, und Jurgls saw, to Ills relief, that no pno was hurt, nnd turned nnd (allowed hla guide out Into; the sunlight. , They .went through tho l<ln»t-fur- nacet, through rolling mills where loir* of steel were toeaaa about sad chopped like bits of cheese. All around nnd nbova giant machine arms were flying, giant wheels wore turning, giant ham iners crashing; traveling cranes creak t-il and groaned overhead, reaching down Iron hands nnd seizing Iron prey —It was like standing In the center of the earth, whan the machinery of time wan revolving, By snd by they cams to the place where steel rails were made; and Jur tie heard a toot behind him, and Jump- ed edit of tho way of a car with i white-hot Ingot upon It the size of a man's body. There wee a sudden crash and the car cam* to a halt, and the Ingot toppled out upon a moving plat form, where steel Angers anti arms seized hold of It, punching It and prod ding It Into place, and hurrying It Into the grip of hug* rollers. Then It cam* out upon the other aide, and there were more crashing* and clattering*, and over It was Aopped, Ilk* a pancake on a rushed HHaMwf, Ho amid deafening uproar It clattered to and fro, growing thinner and flat- ter and longer. The Ingot seemed al most a living thing; It did not want to run this mail course, but it was In the grip of fate, It was tumbled on, screeching snd clanking and ahlvering In protest. By and by tt was long and thin, a great red snake escaped from purgatory; and then, aa It slid through the roller*, you would have sworn that It was alive—It writhed and squirmed, and wriggle* and shudder* passed out through Ita tall, all but Atnglng It off by their violence. There waa no rest for It until tt was cold and black—and then It needed only to be cut and straightened to be ready for a railroad. It was at the end of this rail’s progress that Jurgls got hla chance. They had to be moved by men with crowbars, and the boa* her* could use another man. Ho he took off hla coat and set to work on the spot. It took him two hours to get to this place every day and cost him a dollar and twenty cents a week.
