Chicago, July 16.—Mrs. Carter’s mar-
rlngo has revived tho story of her first
"angel** and the sad fate which he af
terward encountered. It was In the
midst of her succefa In the "Heart of
Maryland" that David Delasco shocked
Chicago by suing N. K. Fairbanks,
millionaire manufacturer and Board of
Trade operator, for $60,000 for dra
matic lessons and stage culture given
to Mrs. Carter.
It then developed that aoon after her
divorce she had gone to Mr. Fairbanks
and requested that he assist her In her
ambition to become an actress. He
consented and made a contract with
Delasco for stage tuition. He paid
largo sums of money, and then he and
tho fair pupil had a misunderstanding.
The suit was not filed until several
years later. The notoriety hastened Mr.
Fairbanks' death. He fought the con
tention, but judgment for a part of
tho money was given against him.

“JUNGLE” HERO’S NEW TORTURE—WITH BODY FREEZING,
HIS SOUL REBELS AS HE HEARS EVANGELIST PREACH
CHAPTER XXIII (Continued.)
The market for "sitters" was glutted
that afternoon, however, and there waa
“e place for Jurgls. In all he had to
•pend six nickels In keeping a shelter
aver him that frightful day, and then
It was just dark, and the station house
would not be open until midnight! At
the last place, however, there was a
bartender who knew him and liked
him, and let him doze at one of the
tables until the boss came back; and
also, as he was going out, the man
gave him a tip—on the next block
•here was a religious revival of some
•ort, with preaching and singing, and
hundreds of hoboes would go there
tor the shelter and warmth.
Jurgls went straightway and saw a
%n hung out, saying that the door
would open at 7:80; than he walked,
j>r half ran, a block, and hid a while
in a doorway, and then ran again,
fhd ao on until the hour. At the end
he was all but frozen, and fought his
way In with the rest of the throng (at
‘he risk of having his arm broken
egeln), and got close to the big etove.
By x o'clock the place was so crowd'
ft that the speakers ought to have
heen nattered; the alslss were filled
half-way up, and at the door men were
parked tight enough to walk upon.
There were three elderly gentlemen
In black upon the platform, and a
young lady who played the piano In
front. First they sang a hymn, and
then one of the three, a tall, smoo.th-
•haven man, very thin and wearing
black spectacles, began an address.
Jurgia heard smatterings of It, for the
reaaon that terror kept him awake—
he knew that he snored abominably,
»nd to have been put out Just then
would have been like a sentence of
death to him.
The evangelist was preaching “sin
and redemption," the Infinite grace of
God and His pardon for human frailty.
He was very much In earnest, and he
meant well, but Jurgls, as he listened,
found his soul filled with hatred. What
did he know about sin and suffering—
with his smooth, black coat and his
neatly starched collar, his body warm
and his belly filled, and money In his
pocket—and lecturing mtn who were
struggling for thslr Hues, men at th*
death-grapple with (he demon powers
of hunger and coldl This, of course,
waa unfair; but Jurgls felt that these
men were out of touch with the life
they dlscusaed; that they were unfitted
to solve Its problems; nay, they them
selves were part of the problem—they
were part of the order established that
was crushing men down and beating
them! They were of the triumphant
and Insolent possessors; they had a

must be humble and listen! They were
trying to save their souls—and who
but a fool could fall to sss that all
that was the matter with their souls
was that they had not been able to get
a decent existence for their bodies?
At 11 the meeting closed, and the
desolate audience filed out Into the
snow, muttering curses upon the few
traitors who had got repentance and
gone upon the platform. It was yet
an hour before the station house would
open, and Jurgls had no overcoat and
was weak from a long lllnee*. During
that hour he nearly perished. He was
obliged to run hard to keep hie blood
moving at all, and then he came back
to the station house end found a crowd
blocking the street before the door!
This was In the month of January.
1904, when the country was on the
verge of "hard times," and the news
papers were reporting the shutting
down of factories svsry day. It was
estimated that a million and a half of
men were thrown out of work before
the spring. So ell the hiding places
of the city were crowded, end before
the station bouse door men fought and
tore each other Ilk# savage beasts.
When at last the place waa Jammed
and they shut the doors half the crowd
was still outslds; and Jurgls, with his
helpless arm, was among them. There
wee no choice then but to go to a lodg-
Ing house end spend another dime. It
really broke his heart to do this, at
half-past It o'clock, after he had wast
ed the night at the meeting end on
the street. He would be turned out

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS
The story of “The Jungle,” Upton Sinclair's novel, which caused the goverhmont Investigation Into th*

A simple-minded coterie of Lithuanians arrive In Chicago, seeking employment, and are conducted to
Paeklngtown by a friend. Jurgls, a giant In strength. Is betrothed to On*. and ths first chapter tells of the
wedding In all Its grotesqueness. After much tribulation the entire family obtains work In ths stockyards—
alt but ona, who, Jurgls said, should never work. \
Tho terrible tale of tho slaughter houses Is told with almost revolting detail—the filth, the overworking
of hands, the etrugglo to keep up with the pacemakers, Is all vividly depicted. The little family buya a house
on the Instalment plan, only to find they have been swindled, ami Ona la forced to seek work to meet the
actual living expenses nnd the Interest on the purchase contract, of which they lenrn too late.
Just as Ona and Jurgls pay Marlja what thty owe her, Jurgls turns hla ankle nnd Is laid up for months.

Then Ona confesses, under compulsion, that In order to save the enllre family from financial destruction

on the streets to beg for his Ilf*.
He would begin as soon as the bust
ness of the city was moving. He would
sally forth from a saloon, and, after
making sura there was no policeman
In sight, would approach every like
ly-looking person who passed him,
telling his woeful story and pleading
for a nickel or a dims. Then, when
he got one, hs would dart round tbe
corner and return to hla base to get
warm; and his victim, seeing him do
this, would go away, vowing that he
would never give a cent to a beggar
again.
The victim never paused to ask where
else Jurgls could have gone under the
clecumstances—where he, the victim,
would have gone. At the saloon Jurgls
could not only get more food and bet
ter food than ha could buy In any res
taurant for th* same money, but a
drink In the bargain to warm him up.
Also he cbould find a comfortable seat
by a fire, and pould chat with a com
panion until he was as warm aa toast.
At th* saloon, too, hs fslt at horns.
Part of ths saloon keeper's business
was to-offsr a home and refreshments
to beggars In exchange for the proceed*
of their foragings; and waa there any
one else tn the whole city who would
do this—would the victim have done It
himself?
Poor Jurgls might have been expect
ed to make a successful beggar. He
was just out of the hospital, and des-
jerately slck-looklng, and with a help-
ess arm; also he had no overcoat, and
shivered pitifully. But, alas. It was
again the rase of the honest merchant,
who finds that the genuine and un
adulterated article Is driven to the wall
by the artistic counterfeit. Jurgls, as
a beggar, was simply a blundering
amateur tn competition with organised
and scientific professionalism. lie waa
Just out of the hospital—but ths story
was worn threadbare, and how could
he prove It? He had his arm In a
sling—and It waa a device a regular
beggar's little boy would have scorned.

studied the art of chattering their
teeth.
As to his being without an overcoat,
among them you would meet Vnen you
could swear had on nothing but a
trousers—so cleverly had they con
ceated the several suits of all-wool un
derwear beneath. Many of these pro
fessional mendicants had comfortable
homes, and families,' and thousands of
dollars In the bank; some of them had
retired upon their earnings, and gone
Into the business of fitting out and
doctoring other*, or working children
at the trade. There were some who
had both their arms bound tightly to
thslr sides, and padded stumps In
thslr sleeves, and a sick child hired to
carry a cup for them. There ware
some who had no legs, and pushed
themselves upon a wheeled platform-
some who had been favored with blind,
ness, and were led by pretty little
dog*.
CHAPTER XXIV,
In the face of -all his handicaps,
Jurgls was obliged to make the price
of e lodging and of a drink every hour
death. Dey
about In the arctic cold, his soul filled
full of bitterness and despair, lie jaw
the world of civilisation then more
plainly than ever he had seen It be
fore; a world In which nothing count
ed but brutal might, an order devised
by those who possessed It for the
subjugation of those who did not. He
waa one of the latter; and all out
doors, all life, was to him one colossal
prison, which hs paced like a pent-up
V and
tiger, trying one bar after another,
finding them all beyond his power. Hs
had lost In th* fierce battle of greed,
end eo was doomed to be extermi
nated; end ell society wss busied to
see he did not steep* the sentence.
Everywhere that ha. turned were pris
on bars, and hostile eyes following
him; th* w*ll-/ed, sleek policemen,
from whose glances he shrank, and
who seemed to grip their cluba more
lightly when they saw him; ths saloon
keepers, who never ceased to watch
him while he was In their places, who
were Jealous of every moment he lin
gered after he hod-paid his money;
the hurrying throngs upon Ih* street,
who were deaf to hla entreaties, obliv
ious of his very existence—and sav
age and contemptuous when he forced
himself upon them.
They had their own affairs, and there
was no piece for him among them.
There we* no piece for him anywhere
—every direction he turned his gese,
this fact was forced upon him. Every
thing was built to express It to him;
th* residences, with their heavy walls
and bolted doors, and basement win
dows barred with Iron; the great ware-

houses, filled with the \
whole world, end guarded by Iron shut
ters end heavy gate*; th* banks with
their unthinkable billions of wealth, all
burled In safes and vaulta of steel.
And then one day there befell Jur
gia the one adventure of hie life. It
waa late at night, and he had failed
to get the price of a lodging. Know
was falling, and he had been out so
long that he was covered with It, and
was chilled to ths bone. He was
working among the Ihsatsr crowds, fit
