Ho learned to find his w»y about and to take all tho mlraclea «nd terror, for granted, to work with out hearing the rumbling and craehlng. From blind fear he went to the other extreme; he became reckless and In different, like all the rest ot the men, who took but little thought of them selves In the ardor of their work, wu wonderful, when one came .. think of it, that then men should have tsken an Interest In the work they did; they hsd no share In It—they were P«M by the hour, and paid no more for win, tnterestd. Also they knew that If they were hurt they would be flung ulde and forgotten—and still they would hurry to their task by dangerous short-cuts, would use methods that Were quicker and more effective In •plte of the fact that they were also jMsky. His fourth day at hi* work Hurgis saw a man stumble while run ning In front of a car, and have hi* foot smashed off; end before ftp had been there three week* he was wltnee* °f * yet more dreadful accident.

Maier & Berkele Most fortunately, at his juncture, Elzbleta got the long-waited chance to go at 6 o’clock in the morning and help scrub the office floors of one of the packers. Jurgls came home ond cov er.',i himself with hlnnkets to keep worm, ond divided his time between sleeping end playing with little An- tanas. Juozapas was away raking In the dump a good part of the time, and Elzbleta and MarIJa were hunting for more work. Antanas waa now over a year and a half old, and was a peife.-t miking machine. He learned so fast that srary , ek u inm Jtngis eomo horns It seemed to him as If hs had a new child. He would sit down and listen and stare nt him. and give vent to delighted excla motions—"Palauk! Muma! Tu mono ezlrdela!” The little fellow was now really the one delight that Jurgls had In the world—hi* one hope, hi* one victory. Thank Qod, Antanas was a boy! And ha was as tough as a pine- knot, and with the appstlta of a wolf. Nothing had hurt him, and nothing could hurt him: he had come through alt the suffering and deprivation un scathed-only shriller-voiced and more determined In his grip upon life. Ho was a terrible child to manage, was Antanas, but his fsther did not mind that—he would watch him and smile to himself with satisfaction. The more of a fighter he was tbs better—he would need to light before ha got through. Jurgls had got the habit of buying the Sunday paper whenever he had the money; a most wonderful paper could be had for only 5 cents, a whole arm ful, with all the news of the world set forth In big headlines, that Jurgls could spell out slowly, with the chil dren to help him at the long words. There were battle and murder and sudden death—It was marvelous how they ever heard about so many .en tertaining and thrilling happenings; the stories must be alt true, for sure ly no man could have made such things up; and besides, there were pictures of them all as real as life. One of these paper* wa* as good as a circus, aqd nearly a* good a* a spree—certainly a most wonderful treat for a working man who was tired out and stupefied, and had never had any education, and whose work was one dull, sordid grind, day after day. and year after year, with never a eight of a green field nor an hour’s entertainment, nor anything but liquor to stimulate his Imagina tion. Among other things, these pa pers had pages full nf comical pic tures, and these were the main Joy In life to little Antanas. H* treasured them up, and would drag them out and make his father tell him about them; there were all sort* of animals among them, and Antanas could tell the names of all of them, lying upon the Boor for hours and pointing them out with hla chubby little fingers. And then, when he was able to use hi* bands, Jurgls took his bedding again and went back to bis task of shifting rails. II was now April, and tbe snow had given place to cold rains, and tho unpaved street In front ol Anlele’s house was turned Into a ca nal. Jurgls would have to wade through It to get home, and If It was late he might easily get stuck to hi* waist In the mire. But he did not mind this much—It was a promise that sum mer was coming. Merlja had now got ten a place nB beef trimmer In one of the smaller packing plants; and he told himself that he had learned his lesson now, and would meet with no more accidents—so that at last there was prospect of an end to their long journey. They could save mgney again, and when another winter came they uould have a comfortable plore, and the children would be off the streets and In school again, and they m’ght silt to work to nurse beck Into life their habits of decency and kind ness. So onte more Jurgls began to make plans and dream dreams. And then one Saturday night he Jumped off the cor and started home, with the sun shining low under the edgo of a bank of clouds that had been pouring floods of water Into the mud- soaked street. There wne a rainbow In the sky, nnd another In his breast, for he had tblrty-slx hours’ rest be fore him nnd a chance to see his family. Then suddenly he came In sight of the house, and noticed a crowd before the door. He ran up the steps and pushed his way In, nnd' saw An Isis’s kitchen crowded with excited wo men. It reminded him so vividly of hhe time when he had come home from Jail and found Ona dying that his heart almost stood still "What’s the mat ter?" he cried. dead silence had fallen In the room, and he saw that every one was staring at him. "What’s the matter?” he exclaimed again. And then, up In tho garret, he heard sounds of walling In Marlja’s voice. He started for the ladder—and Anlele celled him by the arm. “No, no!” she exclaimed. “Don’t go up there!" "Whet Is It?” he shouted. And the old woman answered him weakly: "It’s Antanas. He’e dead. He was drowned out In the street!” SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS The story of “The Jungle,” Upton Sinclair’s novel, which caused the government Investigation Into the methods employed by the Ileef Trust, hns Its origin In nil nctual Packlngtown romance.

He ono glance more at the hhinket i the littln form beneath It, and then turned suddenly to the ladder and elltnbed down again. A silence fell once more In the room as he entered. He went straight to the door, passed out and started down the street.

Later on hs sat down upon a step and hid his faro In hts hands and for half an hour or so CHAPTER XXII. Jurgls took the news In a peculiar way. He turned deathly pate, but he caught himself, and for half a minute stood In the middle of the room, clenching his hands tightly and setting his teeth. Then he pushed Anlele aside and strode Into the next room and climbed the ladder. In the corner was a blanket with a form half showing beneath It; and beside It lay Elzbleta, whether crying or In a faint, Jurgia could not tell. MarIJa was peeing the room, scream ing and wringing her hands. He clenched hla hands tighter yet, and hla voice waa hard as he spoke. “Hgw did It happen?" he naked. MarIJa scarcely heard him In her agony. He repealed the question, louder and yet more harshly. "He fell off the sidewalk!" she* walled. The sidewalk In front of the house was a platform made of half-rotten boards about five feet above the level of the - ink. ii ui<" i. "How did he come to be there?” h* demanded.

II* was lighting for hla life; lie gnashed his teeth together In his des peration. He had been a fool, a fool! He had wasted his life, he had wrecked himself, with Ills accursed weakness, and now he was done with It—he would tear It out of him, root and branch! There should he no more tears and no more tenderness; he had had enough of them—they had sold him Into sla very! Now he was going to be free, lo tear ol? his shackles, to rise up ond light.

He started down the track, and when he waa past the gatekeeper's shanty he sprang for- .ward and swung himself on to one of the cars. By a'nd by the train stopped again, and Jurgls sprang down and ran under the car and hla himself upon the truck. Here he sat, and when the train started again, he fought a battle with hie soul. He gripped hi* hands and sat bis testh together—ha had not wept, and he would not—not a tsar! It was past and ever, and he was done with It—he would fling It off hie shoulders, be free of It. the while business, that night. It should go like a block, hateful nightmare, oral In the morning he would be a new man. And every time a thought nt tt as sailed him—a tender memory, a tract time, hta rather had thought the last I thought about him that he meant to; : ho waa going to think of” himself, h" was going to fight for himself, ngulnst the world that had baffled him and ! tortured him!

When th* dawn cams he waa peering nut with hungry eyes, getting glimpses of meadows and woods and rivers. At last he could stand It no longer, and when the train stopped again he crawled out.
