Th. market for ‘'litters' 1 was glutted that afternoon, however, and there was a. place for Jurgis. In all he had to •pend six nickels In keeping a shelter over him that frightful day, and then It was just dark, and the station house *ould 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 >l«o, as he was going out, the man «»ve him a tip—on the next block there wee a religious revival of some »wt. with preaching and singing, and hundreds of hoboes would go there for the ehelter and warmth. Jurats went straightway and saw a •Isn hung out, saying that tho door would open at 7:60; then he walked, or half ran, a block, and hid a while m a doorway, and tHen ran again, and SO on until the hour. At the end he was all but frozen, and fought his way In with the rest of the throng (at the risk of having hls arm broken Main), and got close to the Mg stove. Byjj o'clock tbe place was so crowd' fd that the speakers ought to have •>«n nattered: the alslea were (Bled naif.way up, and at the door men were packed tight enough to walk upon. There were' three elderly gentlemen ■n black upon the platform, and a joung lady who played the piano In ■font. First thsy sang a hymn, and then one of the three, a tall, smooth- {haven man, very thin and wearing blacif spectacles, began an address. Jursls heard smatterings of It, for the tsaaon that terror kept him awake— he knew that he snored abominably, —td to have been put out Just then Elegant Silver The excellence and popu larity of Maier & Berkele silver is due largely to the tasteful designs and artistic patterns we carry in stock. It you want any of the Dew things, we have them, y e study the modes in these lines as attentively as smart dressers study the current fashions, Maier & Berkele would have been like a sentence of death to him. The evangelist was preaching "sin and redemption,” the Infinite grace of God and Hls pardon for human frailty. He was very much In earneat, and he meant well, but Jurgts, os he listened, found hi* soul filled with hatred. What did he know about sin and suffering— with hls smooth, black coat and hls neatly, starched .collar, bis body warm M " ‘ struggling for their fives, msn at the death-grapple with the demon powers of hunger and cold! This, of course, was unfair: but Jurgis felt that these men were out of touch with the life they discussed; 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 and Insolent possessore; they , hall, and a tire, and food and clothlni and money, and so they might preael to hungry men, and the hungry men muet be humble and listen! They were trying to save their souls—am but a fool could fall to see that all that was the matter with their aouls was that they had not been able to get a decent existence for thetr bodies? At 11 the njeetlng 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 Jurgis had no overcoat and was weak from a long Illness. 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 and found a crowd blocking the street before the door! This wss In the month of January, 1904, when th# country wa* on the verge of "hard times,” and the news papers were reporting the shutting down of factories svery day. It was estimated that a million and a half of men were thrown out of work before the spring. So all the biding places of the city were crowded, and before tbe etatlon house door men fought and tore each other like savage beasts. When at last the place was Jammed and they shut the doors half the crowd was still outside: apd Jurgis, with hls helpless arm, was among them. Thers was no choice then but to go to a lodg ing house and spend another dime. It really broke hls heart to do this, at' half-past 16 o'clock, after he had wast ed the night at the meeting and on the street. He would be turned out of the lodging house promptly at.7— they had the shelves which served as bunks"so contrived that they could b» dropped, and any man who was slow about obeying orders could be tumbled to the door. . .. „ ..

He would sally forth from a saloon, and, after making sure there was no policeman In sight, would approach every like ly-looking person who passed him, telling hls woeful story and pleading for a nickel or a dime. Then, when he got one, he would dart round the corner and return to hls base to get warm; and hls 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 Jurgis could have gone under the circumstances—where he, the victim, would have gone. At th* saloon Jurgts could not only grt more food and bet ter food than he could buy In any res taurant for the same money, but a drink In the bargain to warm him up. Also he cbould And a comfortable seat by a Are, and could chat with a com panion until he was as warm as toast. At the saloon, too, he felt at home. Fart of the saloon keeper's business wss to offer a home and refreshments to beggars In exchange for the proceeds Of their foragings; and was there any one els* In the whole city who would do this—would the victim have done It himself? f Poor Jurgts might have been expect ed fo make a successful beggar. He was Just out of the hospital, and des- icrately slck-looklng, and w ith a help- ess arm; also he had no overcoat, and shivered pitifully. But, alas, It was again the case of tbe honest merchant, who Ands that the genuine nnd un adulterated article Is driven t^fne wall by the artistic counterfeit. Jurgis, as a beggar, was simply a blundering nmateur In competition with organized nnd srlentlAc professionalism. He was Just out of the hospital—but the story was worn threadbare, and how could he prove It? He had hls arm In a •ding mid It WSS a dcvl'e u regular beggar's little boy would have scorned. He was pale and shivering—but they were made up with cosmetics, and had studied the art of chattering their teeth. As to hls being without an overcoat, among them you would meet men you could swear had on nothing but a ragged linen duster and a pair of cotton trousers—so clsveriy had they con cealed 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 tbs bank; some oT them had retired upon their earnings, and gone at the tnd*. ■ r „_ had both their arms bound tightly to their sides, and padded stumps In their sleeves, and a sick child hired to carry a cup for them. There were some who nad no legs, nnd pushed themselves upon a wheeled platform- some who had been favored with blind ness, and were led by pretty little dogs. , ' CHAPTER XXIV. In }h* face of all hls handicaps, Jurgis was obliged to make the price of a lodging and of a drink every hour or.two, under penalty of freezing to death. Day after dsy he roamed about In the arctic cold, hls soul Ailed full of bitterness and despair. He saw the world of civilization then more plainly than ever he had seen It be fore; a world In which nothing count ed but brutal might, nn order devised by those who possessed It for the subjugation of those who did not. He was one of the latter; end all out doors, all life, was to him one colossal prison, which he pared like a pent-up tiger, trying one bar after another, and tln.llriK them .'ll l.-yui'l Mi power. II. had lost In the Aerf* battle of greed, ami so was doomed to bo extermi nated; and all society was busied to see he did not escape th* sentence. Everywhere that he turned werv pris on bars, and hostile eyes following him: the well-fed, sleek policemen, from whose glances he shrank, and who seemed to grip thslr clubs more tightly when tbsy saw him; tbs saloon keepers, who never ceased to watch him while he was In their places, who were Jealous of svery moment he lin gered after he had paid hls money; the hurrying throngs upon the street, who were deaf to hls entreaties, obliv ious of hls very existence—and sav age and contemptuous when he forced himself upon them. They had thslr own affairs, and thers was no place for him among them. There wasYio place for him anywhere —every direction he turned hls gszs, this fact w*s forced upon him. Every thing was built to express It to him; the residences, with thslr heavy walls and bolted doors, and basement win dows barred with Iron; tbs great ware- houses. Ailed with the products of the whole world, and guarded by Iron shut ters and heavy gates; the banks with I their unthinkable billions of wealth, all I burled In safes and vaults of stceL And then one day there befell Jur gis the nno adventure of hls life.

He was working among the theater crowds. Ai ling here and there, taking Inrgo chances with the police. In hls des peration half hoping to be arrested, when he saw a blue coat start toward him, however, hls heart' failed him, nnd he dashed down a side street and Aed a couple of blocks. When he etopped again he saw a man coming toward htin, and placed himself In hls path. "Flense, sir," ho began, In the usual formula, ''will you please give me th* price of lodglngT I've lmd nn arm broken and I can't work, and I’ve not a cent In my pocket. I'm nn honeet workingman, sir, and r never begged before, it'e not my fault, sir"— Jurgis usually went on until he was Interrupted, but this man did not In terrupt, and so at Inst he came to a breathless stop. Tho other had halted, nnd Jurgts suddenly noticed that he stood a little unsteady. "Whuzzot you say?" he queried suddenly. In a thick voles, Jurgis began ngaln, speaking more slowly and distinctly: before he wns half through the other put out hls hand and rested It upon hie shoulder. "Poor old chappie!" he said. "Been up—hlc— up—against It, hey?" Then he lurched toward Jurgis and tho hand upon hls shoulder became sn Arm nbout hls neck. "Up against it myself, ole sport," he said. ' Hhc's a hard ols world." They were close to a lamp post? and Jurgis got a glimpse of ths other. He was a young fellow—not much over eighteen, with a handsome boyish face. He wore a silk hat and a rich soft over coat with a fur collar, and he amllsd at Jurgts with benignant sympathy. "I'm hard up, too. my goo' fren’," he said. I've got cruel parents, or I'd eat you up. Whutsa matter whlxyer?" ‘Tv# been In th* hospital.” • "Hospital!" exclaimed the young fallow, still smiling sweetly, "thass too bad I flams’s my Aunt Polly—hlc— my Aunt Polly's In the hospital, too.
