CHAPTER XXIV (CONTINUED). (Copyright* 1906, by Upton Sinclair. All right* reserved.) The man ■ went out and cloud the doer. Jurgis, who was aa aharp aa he. observed that he took the key oyt of the lock In order that he might peer through the keyhole. Marter Frederick turned to the table (jeln. "Now," he said, "go for It.” Jurgla gazed at him doubtlngly. ‘Eat!" cried tho other. “Pile In. ole thapple!” "Don’t you want anything?” Jurgla asked. “Ain’t hungry,” waa the reply—"only thirsty. Kitty and me had aome candy —you go on." So Jurgla began, without further parley. He ate aa with two shovels, his fork In one hand and hla knife In ihe other: when he once got started his wolf hunger got the better of him, and he did not atop for breath until he had cleared every plate. "Gee- whli!" aald the other, who had been Hatching him in wonder. Then he held Jurgla the* bottle. "Lessee you drink now,” he aald; and Jurgla took the bottle and turned It up to hla mouth, and a wonderful un earthly liquid ecataoy poured down hla throat, tickling every nerve of him, thrilling him with Joy. He drank the rery last drop of It, and then he gave vent to a long-drawn "Ah!" ••Good atuff. hey?” aald Freddie, sympathetically; he had leaned back the big chair, putting hla arm be hind hla head, aiid~ gating at Jurgla. And Jurgla gazed bs back at him. He was clad In apotleaa evening dreaa, waa Freddie, and looked very handsome— he waa a beautiful boy, with light golden hair and the head of an Antl- noaa. ’* ”' J " T 1 He amlled at Jurgla confidingly. his blissful Insouciance. This time he talked for ten minutes at a stretch, and In the course of the ape jurgis all of hla family history. Hla big brother Charlie was In love with the guileless maiden who played the part of Little Bright-Eyes in "The Kallph of Kamtschhatka." He had been on the verge of marrying her once, only the “guv-ner" had aworn to disinherit him, and had presented him with a sum that would stagger the Imagination. Now Charlie had got leave from college, and had gone away t. kl. nulnmnhlla Tho "tniv'tlAr" hftd the door was shut and the great castle was dark and Impregnable. Then tho icy teeth of the blast bit Into him. and he turned and went away at a run. When he stopped again It waa be cause he was coming to frequented streets and did not wish to attract at- t**n11.,n. In spite of Hint last humllla- tlon, his heart was thumping fast with triumph. He hud come out ahead on that deal! He put his hand Into his trousers' pocket every now and then, to make sure that the precious hundred- dollar bill was still there. Tot he waa In a plight—a curious and even dreadful plight, when he came to realize It. He had not a sin gle cent but that one bill! And he had to And aome shelter that night he had to change It! Jurgla spent half an hour walking and debating the problem. There was no one he could gb to for help—he had to manage It all alone. To get me under the bar. Touse had better call the wagon. Billy "No," said tho officer, "he’s got no more light In him, I guess—and he's only got a block to go.” He twisted his hand In Jurgis’ collar and Jerked at him. "Git up here, you!" he com manded. But Jurgis did not.move, and the bartender went behind the bar, and. nfter stowing the hundred-dollsr blit away In a safe hiding place, came and en. as the latter began* to moan feebly, the policeman got him to his feet and dragged him ont of the place. n house was Just around the changed In a lodging house would be “ ike his life In hla hands—he would to ta! almost certainly be robbed and per. hape murdered, before morning. He might go to aome hotel or railroad depot and ask to have It changed, but tvhat would they think, seeing a "bum" like him with a hundred dollars? He would probably be arrested If he tried It, and what story could be tell? On the morrow Freddie Jonea would dis cover hla loss, and there would be a hunt for him, and he would lose the money. The only other plan he could think of was to try In a saloon. He might pay them to change It, If it could not be donq/Otherwlse. iuld not be done-otherwise. He began peering Into, places as ho walked; he passed several as being too crowded; then finally chancing upon one where the bartender was all alone, he gripped his hands In sudden resolution and went In. Can you change me a hundred-dol- in his automobile. The "guv’ner” had made threats to disinherit anothet of his children also, Sister Gwendolin, who had married an Italian marquis with - string of titles and a duelling record. They lived In his chateau, or rather had, until he had taken to firing the breakfast dishes at her; then she had cabled for help, and the old gentleman had gone over to find out what were his grace's terms. So they had left Freddie all alone, and he with less than 12,000 In hls.iiocket! Freddie was up In arms and meant serious business, as they would find In the end—If there was no other way of brlbglng them to . kl> I'Vlltana" tvlra terms he would have his "Kittens” wire that she was about to marry him and see whnt happened then. So the cheerful youngster rattled on until he was tired out. He smiled his sweetest smile at Jurgis, and then he closed hla eyes, sleepily. Then he opened them again and smiled once more, and finally closed them and for got to open them. For several minutes Jurgis sat per fectly motionless watching him, and revelling In the strange sensations of the champagne. 'Once he stirred and the dog growled; after that he sat al most holding his breath—untjl after a while the door ppened softly and the butler came In. He walked toward Jurgis upon tiptoe, owllng at him: and Jurgis rose up end retreated, scowling back. So un til he was against the wall, and then the hutler came close; and pointed to ward Ihe door. "Get out of hi whispered. Jurgis hesitated, giving a glance at Freddie, who was snoring softly. "If you do,” hissed the butler, "I’ll mash your face for you before you get out of here!” dnd Jurgis wavered but an Instant more. He saw "Admiral Dewey" coming up behind the man and . started to ward the door. / They went out without a sound, and down the great echoing staircase, and through the dark hall. At the front floor he paused and the -butler strode «» up to him. "Hold up your hands," he snarled. Jurgis took a step back, clinching hit “o well flat. What for?" he cried: and then un derstanding that the fellow proposed to search him, he answered: "I'll see you In hell first." "Do you want to go to Jail?" de manded the butler, menacingly. have the police”— "Have ’eni!” roared Jurgis. with nerce passion. "But you won’t put your hands on me till you do! I haven’t touched anything In your damned house, and ill not have touch me!" So the butler, who was terrified lest * young master should waken, •topped suddenly to the door, and opened It. "Get out of here!” he said; aod then, ts Jurgla passed through the opening, he gave him a ferocious kick that sent him down the great stone •'eps at a run, and landed him sprawl- ‘"g In the snow at the bottom. CHAPTER XXV. Jurgis got up, wild with rage: but Diamonds. We are talking Diamonds nearly every day now, be cause we have something un usual in stock and in values 'or you. . A new and magnificent importation, bought abroad at first hand, is the basis of 0l, r Diamond talk. Gome in and see these stones. M a i e r & Berkele. The bartender was a big, husky fol low, with the Jew of a prise fighter, and a three weeks’ stubble of hair upon He stared at Jurgis. "What’s that youse say?” he demanded. ”1 said, could you change me a hun- dred-dollar binr "Where’d youse get It?” he Inquired Incredulously. "Never mind," said Jurgis, ‘Tve got It. and I want It changed. I’ll pay you If you’ll do It. The other stared at him hard. "Dem me see It," he sold. "Will you change It?" Jurgis de manded, gripping it tightly In his "How the hell can I know If it's good or not?” retorted the bartender. “Whatcher take me for, hey?" Then Jurgis slowly and warily ap proached him; he took out the bill, and tumbled It for a moment, while tho man stared at him. with hostile eyes across the counter. Then finally he handed It over. The other took It and began to ex amine It; he smoothed It between tils fingers, and he held It up to the light; he turned It over, and upside down and geway*. It was new and rather, stiff _.id that made him dubious. Jurgis was watching him like a cat all tho time. Humph,” he said, finally, and gazed at the stranger, sizing him up—a rag ged, ill-smelling, tramp, with no over coat and one arm In a sling—and n hundred-dollar bill! "Want to buy anything?" he demanded. "Yes," said Jurgis, of beer.** ’All right," said the other, "I'll change It." And he put the bill In his pocket and poured Jurgis out a glass of beer and set It on the counter. Th he turned to tho cash register and punched up five cents, and began to pull money out of the drawer, jlnally, he faced Jurgis, counting ont—two dimes, a quarter and fifty cents. "There," he said. For a second Jurgis waited, expect- In. "My nlnety- The station corner, and so In a few minutes Jurgis waa In a cell. He spent half the night lying un conscious, and the balance moaning In torment, with a blinding headache and a racking thirst. Now and then he cried aloud for a drink of water, but there waa no one to-hear him. There were others In that ahme station house with, spilt heads and a fever; there were hundreds of them In the great city, and tens of thousands of them In the great land, and there was no one to hear any of them. In the morning Jurgla waa given a cup of water and a piece of bread, and then hustled Into a patrol wagon He sat In the pen with era until hla turn came. The bartender—who proved to be n stand. He took the'oath and told atory. The prisoner had come Into hla saloon after midnight, fighting drunk, and had ordered a glass of beer and tendered a dollar bill In payment. He had boen gtVon ninety-five cents change, and hnd demanded ninety-nine dollars more, and before the plaintiff "ill.I even answer lind liurlril the glass at him and then attacked him with a bottle of bitters and nearly wrecked the place. Then the prisoner wns sworn—n for lorn object, haggard and unshorn, with an arm dons up In a filthy bandage, a cheek and head cut and bloody, and one eye purplish black and entirely closed. "What havo you to say for yourself?" queried the magistrate. “Your Honor,” said Jurgis, "I went Into his place and asked the man If ho could change me a hunilred-dollar bill. Jd he would If I bought And he seu _ __ drink. I gave him the bill and then he wouldn't glvo me the change.” The magistrate was staring nt him In perplexity. "You gavo him a hundred- il.dlnr bill?” lie <xiln I moil. "Yes, your Honor," said Jurgis. "Where did you get It?” "A man gave It to me, your Honor.” "A man? What man, and what for?” “A young man I met upon the street, your Honor. I had been begging." There waa a titter In the court room; the officer who was holding Jurgla put up his hand to hide a smile, and the magistrate smiled without trying to hide It. "It’s true, your Honor! ” cried UPTON SINCLAIR.

For an Instant horror reigned In him—black, paralyzing, awful horror, clutching him at the heart; and then came rage, In surging, blinding floods —he screamed aloud, and seised the glass and hurled It at the other's head. The man ducked, and It missed him by half an Inch; he roae again and faced Jurgis, who waa vaulting over th* bar with hla well one arm, and dealt him a smashing blow In the face, hurling him backward on the floor.

Also, hi* head and eye had to be tied ui hla head and eye had to be tied up— and so he waa a pretty looking object when, the second day after hlsarrlval. he went out Into the exercise court and feverishly—there were tetters and checks, nnd two theater tickets, and nt laat. In the back pari, n wad of bills. He counted them—there was n twenty, five tens, four fives and three ones. Dunno drew n long breath. "That leta us out!” he said. After further examination they burn ed the card case end lit contents, all but the bills, nnd likewise the picture of n little girl In the locket. Then Du nne took the watch nnd trinkets down stairs nnd came baric with IK. "Ths old scoundrel said Ihe cose wns filled," he said. “It’s a lie, but he knows I want the money." They divided up the ipolli and Jur gla got aa hla share 165 and some rhange. He protested that It was too much, but the other had agreed to di vide even. That waa a good haul, he said, better than the average. When they got up In the morning, Jurgis wee sent nut to buy a paper twice a year, in the spring and fall elections, millions of dollars were fur nished by Ihe business men and ex- K nded by this army; meetings "ere Id and clever speakers were hired, hands played and rockets sizzled, tons of documents and reservoirs of drink* were distributed, and teas of in.m*- anda of votes were bought for cash. And this nnny of graft had, of course, to be maintained the year round. The leaders and. organisers were main tained by the buslnesn men. directly— aldermen and legislators by mr-nns f bribes, party officials out of the all*. ■wyers In Ihe form ef snlsrle tractors by means of Jobs, and news paper proprietors and editors by ad vertisement*. The rank and file, how ever, were either foisted upon the city or else lived off the populnn- directly. There was Ihe police department, and the fire and water department^ tMI the whole balance of the rlvll list, front the meanest office boy to the head of a city department, and for the berd>< who could find no room in these, then, waa the world of vlre and crime, there was license to seduce, to swindle nnd plunder and prey. The law forbade Sunday drinking, nnd this had delivered the saloon- keepers Into the hands of the police, id made an alllane* between them necessary. It waa the same with tho gambling house keeper and th- pool- roem man, and the same with /tne other mnn or woman who hnd a i of getting "graft," nnd waa pay over a share of It; rlllln . . the green-goods man nnd the highwayman, the pick pocket and the aneak thief and tho ro- celver of stolen goods, the seller of adulterated milk, of stale fruit and diseased meat, the .proprietor of un sanitary tenements, the fake doctor and th* usurer, the beggar nnd the "push-cart man," the prlso-flghter nml th* prof ’ reading about It after ward. "I had a pal that always did It,” Duane remarked, laughing—“until one day he read that he had left $3,000 In a lower Inside pocket of hls party’s vest!” There was n half-column account of tho robbery—It waa evident that a gang was operating In th* neighborhood, said th* paper, for It wns the third within a weak, and the police were ap naurance agent, nnd he hnd lost $110 that did noi encountered—Jack Duane! The young fellow was so glad to aqa Jurgla that he almost hugged him. "And what la It—have you been through a sausage machine?” “Nn," said Jurgla;. "but I’ve been In railroad wreck and n fight” And then, while some of the other prisoners gathered round, he told hie wild atory. moat of them were Incredulous, but Duane knew thnt Jurgla could never have mado up euch a yam aa that. mayb they were alone; "but taught you a lesson.’ I've learned some thing* since I saw you last,” aald Jurgis, mournfully. Then he explained how he had spent the last summer “hoboing,” as the phrase wo*. "And you?” he asked, finally. “Have you been here since?” Lord, nol" said the other, ”1 only nor niu in* uinvi* * winy cam* In the day before yesterday.

"But we'll wait till we get out and see." In the Bridewell Jurgla mat few who had been there th* lust time, but he met scores of others, old and young, of exactly the same sort. It waa . like breakers upon a beach. There waa new water, but the wave looked Just the same. He strolled about and talked with them, and the biggest of them told tales of their prowess, while those who were weaker, or younger and In experienced gathered round and listen ed In admiring silence. The last time he woe there Jurgla had thought of little but hls family; but now he woe free to listen to these men and to reallx* that he was one of them—that their point of view was hla point of view, and that th* way they kept them selves-alive In the world was the way he meant to do It In future. And BO, when he waa turned out of prison again, without a penny In hls pocket, he went straight to Jock Du ane. He went full of humility and gratitude; for Duane was a gentleman and a man with a profession—and It was remarkable that he should be will ing to throw In hi* lot with an humble beggar and a tramp. Jurgla could not we what help he could be to him; he did not understand that a man like himself—who could be treated to stand by any on* who waa kind to him—was as rare among criminals aa among any other class of .men. Duane was glad to see him; he was without a cent of money, he aald, and him get some. I hls plan— In fact he spent the day In laying bare friend the criminal world of ths to hls city, and In showing him how he might earn himself a living In It. That winter he would have a hard time, on account of hls arm, and because of an unwonted fit of activity of the police; but so long as he was unknown to them he would be safe If he were careful. Here at "Papa" Hanson's (so they called the old man who kept the dive) he might rest at ease, for ”Ps 'apa* Han son was "square”—would stand by him so long ss he paid, and give him an hour’s notice If there were to be a po lice raid. Also Bownsteg, the pawn broker, would buy anything he had for a third of Its value, and guarantee to keep It hidden for a year. There was an oil stove In the little cupboard of a room, andrihey Had some supper; and then about II o’clock at ' night they sallied forth together, by a rear entrance to the place; Duane arm ed with a alungsbot.

Before long Jurgla would think no more of It than they did In the yards »f knock ing out n bullock. "It's a cose of us or the other fellow, nnd I say the other fellow every time," he observed. "Btlll," said Jurgla reflectively, "he never did us any harm.” "He waa doing It to somebody as hard as he could, you can be sure of that,” said hls friend.
