And vet Ort the other hand. If they were go ing' to make the venture, the sooner they did It the better; for were they not paying rent all the time, and liv ing in a most horrible way besides?* jurgls was used to dirt—there was nothing could scare a man who had been with a railroad gang, where one could gather up the fleas oft the floor of the sleeping room by the handful. But that sort of thing would not do for Ona They must have a better place of some sort very soon—Jurgls said It with all the assurance of a man who had lust made a dollar and fifty-seven cents in a single day. Jurgls was at a loss to understand why. with wages a« they were, so many of the people of this district should live the way ,h The next day. Marlja went to see he.* ■•forelndy,” and was told to report the first of the wee#, and learn the busi ness of can painter. Marlja went home, singing out loud all the way, and was lust In time to Join Ona and her step mother as they were setting out to r,, and make Inquiry concerning the house. That evening the three made their report to the men—the thing was altogether as represented In the circu lar. or at any rate so the agent had said. The houses lay to the south, about a mile and n half from the vards; they were wonderful bargains, ihe gentleman had aksured them— personally, and for their own good.. He could do this, so he explained to them, for the reason that he had him self no Interest In thetr sale—he was merely the agerit for a company that had built them. These were the last, and the company was going out or business, so If any one wished to take advantage of this wonderful no-rant plan, he would have to be very quick. As a matter of fact, there was Just a little uncertainty as to whether there was a single house left; for the agent had taken so many people to see them, and for all he knew the company might have parted with Oiq last. See ing Teta Elsbletas evident grief at this news, he added, after someheal- tatlon, that If they really Intended to make a purchase, he would send a tel ephone message at his own expense, nnd have one of the houses kept. So It had finally been arranged-andjthey wore to go and make an- Inspection the following Sunday morning. That was Thursday, and all the rest of the week the killing-gang at Brown's worked at full pressure, and Jurgls cleared a dollar and seventy- five cents every day. That was at. the rote of ten and one-hnlf dollars a weea, or forty-five a month; Jurgls was not able to figure, except it was a very simple sum. but Ona was like lightning at such things, and she worked out the problem for the family. Marlja and Jonas were each to pay »•**•*" dollars a month board, and the old man Insisted that he could do the same as soon as he, got a place—widen might he any day now. That would make ninety-three dollars. Then Ma rlja nnd Jonas were between them to take a third share In the house, which would leave only eight dollars a month for Jurgls to contribute to the Pay ment. So they would have eighty- live dollars a month—or, supposing that Dede Antnnas did not get work nt once, seventy dollars a month— which ought surely to be sufficient for the support of a family of twelve. An hour before the time on Sunday morning the entire party set out. They had the address written on a piece of paper, which they showed to some one now and then. It proved to be a long mile nnd a .half, but they walked It, ami half an hour or so later the agent put In an appearance. He was a smooth and ilorid personage, elegantly dresseu and he spoke their language freely, which gave him a great advantage in dealing with them. He escorted them to the house, which was one of a long row of the typical framfe dwellings or the neighborhood, where architecture i s a luxury that Is dispensed wltn. Ona’s heart sank, for the house was not as It was shown In the picture, the color scheme was different, for one thing, and then It did not seem quite *o big. Still, It was freshly painted, and made a considerable show, it was ■Hftrand new, so the agent told them, i...

MAIER & BERKELE. ’ never In their lives had any one of them ever epoken to a person of the class called "gentleman" except with deference and humility. The .house had a basement, about two feet below the street line, anil n single etory, about six feet above It, reached by a flight of atepa. In addi tion there waa an attic, made by the peak of the roof, and having one amall window In each end. The atreet In front of the house waa unpaved and unllghted, and the view from It con sisted of a few exactly slml'nr houses, scattered here and there . eon lots grown up with dingy brown weeds. The house. Inside contained four rooms, plastered white; the basement was but a frame, the walls being unplastered and the floor not laid. The agent ex plained that the houaea were built that way, as the purchasers generally pre ferred to finish the basements to suit their own taste. The attic was also unfinished—the family had been figur ing that In case of an emergency they could rent this attic, but they found that there waa not even a floor, noth ing but Jolats, and beneath them the lath and plaster of the celling below. All of this, however, did not chill their ardor as much aa might have been ex pected, because of the volubility of the agent. There waa no end to the ad vantages of the houses, as he eet them forth, and he was not silent for an In stant; he showed them everything down to the locks on the doors and the catches on the windows, and how to work them. He showed them the sink In the kitchen, with running water and a faucet, something which Teta Elx- bleta had never In her wildest dreams hoped to possess. After a discovery such-as that It would have seemed un grateful to find any fault, and bo they tried to shut their eyes to other de fects. Still they were peasant people, and they hung on to their money by In stinct; It was quite In vain thatithe agent hinted at promptness—they would- see, they would see, they told him, they could not decide until they had had more time. And so they went home again, and all day and evening there were figuring and debating. It was an agony to them to have to make up fhelr minds In a matter such as this. They never could agree all to gether; there were so many arguments upon each side, and one would be ob stinate, and no sooner would the rest have convinced him than It would transpire that his arguments had caused another to waver. Once, In the evening, when they were all In har mony, and the house was as good as bought, Sxedvllss came In and upset them again. Sxedvllas had no use for property owning. He told them cruel stories of people who I had been done to death In this "buying a home" swin dle. They would be almost sure to get Into a tight place and lose all their money; and there was no end of ex pense that one could never foresee, and the house might be good-for-nothtng from top to bottom—how was a poor man to know? Then, too, they would swindle you with the contract—and how was a poor man to understand anything about a contract? It was all nothing but robbery, and there was no safety but In keeping out of It. And pay rent? asked Jurgls. Ah. yes, to be sure, the other answered, that, too, was robbery. ,It was all robbery, for a poor man. After half an hour of such depressing conversation they had their minds quite made up that they had been saved at the brink of a precipice; but then Sxedvllas went away, and Jonas, who was a sharp little man. re minded them that tile delicatessen bus iness was a failure, according to Its proprietor, and tjiat this might account for hla pessimistic views. Which, of course, reopened the subject! The controlling factor was that they could not stay where they were—they had to go somewhere. And when they gave up the house plan and decided to rent, the prospect of paying out nine dollars a month forever they found Just as hard to face. All day and all night for nearly a whole week they wrestled with the problem, and then In the end Jurgls took the responsibil ity. Brother Jonas had gotten Ids Job, and was pushing a truck In Durham s, and the killing-gang at Browns con tinued to work early and late, so that Jurgls grew more confident eretr hour, more certain of hli mastership. It was the kind of thing the man of the family had to decide and carry through, he told himself. Others might have failed at It, but he waa not the falling kind—he would ahow them how to do It. He would work all day. and all night,’too. If need be; he would never rest until the house was paid for and his peopie had a home. So he told them, and so In the end the decision * TThey^had talked about looking at more houses before they made Ihe pur chase; but then they did not know where any more were, and they did not know any way ot flndlng oat TM one they had seen held the sway In their thoughts; whenever they thought of themselves li house that the? they went nnd ti were ready to They knew, aa tlon, that In m men are to be ac could not but hi all they had he agent, and were SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS The story of 'The Jungle," Upton Sinclair's novel, which has caused the government Investigation Into the method* employed by the beef trust, has Ita origin in an actual Pncklngtown rOtnoncc.

Practically penniless. Jurgls tells Ills bride she shall not return to work In the packing house—he will work early and late. He could not work harder, but the thought of seeing her contribute toward their support was abhorrent to him. ... On arriving in Chicago, J. Saved Has, a Lithuanian, who ran a delicatessen store In Pncklngtown, guided Jurgls, Ona, Marlja and the remainder of the party through the stock yards, nfter ha had given them lodg ing. In this section of the story the author reveals some of the things that have startled the country. He tells how n government Inspector, typical of hla kind, ells at the door of the freeslng room nnd feels the glands or the rattle for tuberculosis—but If one conversed with the lns;iector nnd heard Interesting things about cat tle disease, the otriclal would let a dozen bodies pass him without Investigation.

Marlja. who "had nothing to take with her save her two brawny nnm and the word Job, had found work In one of the smaller plants labeling nnil painting cans. The little coterie were happy and had but one thing to bother them—the coat of living. Their board and lodging wns costing too much.

For a horrible suspicion had begun dawning In his mind; he knit ted his brows more and more as he read. This was not a deed of sale at all, so far as he could see—It provided only for the renting of the property! It was hard to tell, with all this strange legal Jargon, words he had never heard before; but was not this plain—“the party of the first part hereby cove nants nnd agrees to rent to the said party of the second parti" And then again—" a monthly rental of Ml for a period of eight years and four months! Then Sxedvllas took oft his spectacles and looked at the agent nnjl stammered a question.

The agent, with Infinite patience, begnn to explain again; but no explanation would do now. Elxbleta had firmly fixed In her mind the last solemn warn ing of Jurgls; "If there la anything wrong, do not give him the money, but go out and get a lawyer.” It was an agonizing moment, but she sat In the chair, her hands clenched like death, and made a fearful effort, summoning all her powers, and gasped out her purpose. . , ' Jokubas translated her words. She expected the agent to .fly Into a mis sion, but he was, to her bewilder ment, as ever Imperturbable; he even offered to go and get a lawyer for her, but she declined this. They went a long way, on purpose to find a man who would not be ft confederate. Then let any one Imagine their dismay when, after half an hour, they came In with a lawyer, and heard him greet the agent by his first name! Lawyer Read Dasd, and They Wars Trapped. They felt that all was lost; they sat like prisoners summoned to hear the reading of their death warrant. There waa nothing more that they could do— they were trapped! The lawyer read over the deed, and when he had read It hq Informed Sxedvllas that It was all perfectly regular, that the deed was a blank deed such as was often used In the old man asked—t hree huni dollars down, and the balance at tit ft month, till the total of tl.KOO had been paid? Yea, that was correct. And It waa for the sale of such and such ft house—the house and lot and everything? Yes—and the lawyer showed him where that was all writ ten. And It was all perfectly regular —there was no trick about It of any sort? They were poor people, and this was all they had In the world, and If there was anything wrong they would be ruined. And so Sxedvllas went on, asking one trembling question after an other, while the eyes of the women folk were fixed on him In mute agony. They could not understand what he was say ing, but they knew that upon It their fate depended. And when at last he had questioned until there was no more questioning to be done, and the time came for them to make up their minds, and either close the bargain or reject It, It waa all that poor Teta Elxbleta could do to keep from bursting Into tears. Jokubas had asked her If she wished to sign; he had waked hsr twice—and what could she say? How did she know If this lawyer were telling the truth—that he was not In,the conspira cy? And yet, how could she say so— what excuse could she give? The eyes of every one In the room were upon her, awaiting her decision; and at last, half blind with her tears, she began fumbling In hsr Jacket, where she had pinned the precious money. And she brought It out and unwrapped It before the men. All of this Ona sat watching from a corner of the room, twisting her hands together,' meantime, In a fever of fright. Ona longed to-cry out and tell her stepmother to stop, that It was all a trap; but there seemed to be sometljjng clutching her by the throat. saying, but his eyes were fixed upon the lawyer's face, striving In on agony MIC IllH.Mi m lau, niitimn “0****e of dread to read his mind. He saw the lawyer look up nnd laugh, and he gave a gasp; the man said something to Hxedvllaa, nnd Jurgls turned upon his friend, his heart almost stopping. “He says It Is all right," said Sxed- Vila*. "All right I" "Yes,, he says It Is Just as It should be," and Jurgls, In his relief, sank down Into a chair. "Are you sure of It?" he gasped, and made Sxedvllas translate question after question. He could not hear It often enough; he could not ask with enough variations. • YeS, they had bought tho house, they lied really bought It. It belonged to them, they bad only to pay the money and It would bo all right. Then Jurgls covered his face with, his hands, fOr there were tears In his eyes, and he felt like a fool. But he had had such a horrible fright; strong man na ho was, It left him almost too weak to stand up. The lawyer explained that the rental wns a form—the property woe said to be merely rented until the last pay ment had been made, the purpose bo- Ing to make tt easier to turn the party out If he did not make the payments. So long os they paid, however, they had nothing to fear, the house was all theirs. , Jurgls waa so grateful'that he paid the half dollar the lawyer asked with out winking an eyelash, and then rush ed home to tell the news to the family. He found Ona In a faint and the babies screaming, nnd the whole house In an uproar—for It had been believed by all that he had gono to murder the agent. It was hours before the excitement could be calntbd; nnd nil through that cruel night Jurgls would wake up now and then and hear Ona and her step mother In the next room, sobbing soft ly to themselves. CHAPTER V. They had' bought their home. It waa hard for them to realise that tho wonderful house was theirs to move Into whenever they chose. They spent all their time thinking about tt, und what they were going to put Into It. As their week with Antele was up In three days, they lost no time In getting ready. They had to mako some shift to furnish It, and every Instnnt of their leisure was given to discussing this. A person who had such a task be fore him would not need to look very far In Packlngtown—he had only to walk up the avenuo and read the signs, or get Into a street car. to obtain full information as to pretty much every thing a human creature could need, tt was quite touching, the zeal of pcoplo to see that his health nnd happiness were provided for. Did the person wish to smoke? There wns n little discourse about cigars, showing him exactly why th# Thomas Jefferson Five-rent Perfeeto was the only cigar worthy of the name. Had, he, on the other hand, smoked too much? Here was a remedy for the smoking habit, twenty-five doses for a quarter and a cure absolutely guaranteed In ten doses. In innumerable ways such as this, the traveler found that somebody had been busied to make smooth his paths through tbs world, and to let him know what had been done for him. In Packlngtown th# advertisements had ft style all of their own, adapted to the peculiar population. One would be tenderly solicitous. "Is your wife paleT’ It would Inquire. "Is shs dis couraged, does she drag herself about the house and find fault with every thing? Why do you not tell her to try Dr. Lanahnn'x Life Preservers?” An other would be Jocular In tone, slapping K u on the back, so to speak., "Don't n chump!” It would exclaim. "Oo and get the Oollath Bunion Cure.” "Get a move on you!” would chime In another. "It's easy. If you wear the Eureka Two-fifty Shoe." Among tbeee Importunate signs was one that had. caught the attention nt the family by Its pictures. It showed two very pretty little birds building hammer, and a pound of nails. These last were tn be driven Into the walls of the kitchen and the lied rooms, to bang things on; and there was a fam ily discussion as to the place where each one was to be driven. Then Jur ats would try to hammer, and lilt hla fingers because the hammer was too small, and get mad because Ona had refused to let him pay 15 centa more and get a bigger hammer; and Ona would be Invited to try It heraelf, anil hurt her thumb, and cry out, which neceaaltated the thumb's being klaaed by Jurgls. Finally, after every one had had a try. the nalla would be driven, and something hung up. Jurgls bail come home with a big packing box on hla head, and he sent Jonn* to get another that he had bought. lie meant to take one aide out of these tomor row, and put ahelvea In them, and make them Into bureaus and places to keep things for the bed rooms. The nest which hod been advertised had not Included feathers for quite so many birds as there were In this fam ily. They had, of course, put thslr dining table In the kitchen, and the dining room was used aa the bed room of Teta Klableta and flvs of her chil dren. She and the two youngest slept In the only bed, and the other three had a mattress on the floor, Ona and her cousin dragged a mattress Into ind ale; the parlor and slept at night, and the themselves ft homo: ond Marlja had three men and the oldest boy slept In asknl nn acquaintance to read It to the other room, having nothing but her, nnd told them that tt related to' “ tho furnishing of a house. "Feather your nest.” It ran—nnd went on to say that It could furnlnh nil the necessary feathers for a four-room nest for the ludicrously small sum of seventy-five dollars. The particularly Important thing about this offer was that only a small part of the money need be had at once—the rest one might pay a few dollars every month. Our friends had to have some furniture, there waa no getting nwny from that; but their little fund of money had sunk so low that they could hardly get to sleep nt night, and so they fled to this as their deliver ance. There was more agony and another paper for Elxbleta to sign, and then one night when Jurgls came home he waa told the breathless tidings that the furniture had arrived and waa safely stowed In the house; it parlor set of four pleres,. a bedroom set of tKwaa nlanna ' n illnlnv mnm llhlfi nnd three pieces,' a dining room table and four chairs, a toilet set with beautiful pink roses painted oil over It, an as sortment of crockery, also with pink roses—and so on. One of the plates In the set had been found broken when they unpacked It, and Ona was going to the store the first thing In the morning to make them change It; also they had promised three sauce pans, and there had only two come, and did Jurgls think that they were trying to cheat them? The next day they went tp the house; and when the men came from work they ate a few hurried mouth fuls at Anlelo'a, and than set to work at the task of carrying their, belong ings to their new home. The distance was In reality over two miles, but Jur gls made two trips that night, each time with n huge pile of mattresses and bedding on his head, with bundles of clothing nnd bngs and things tied up Inside. Anywhere eise In I'hlcngo he would havo stood a good chance of being arrested: but the policemen In Packlngtown wero apparently used to thess Informal moving*, end contented themselves with a cursory examination notv nnd then. It was quite wonderful to *eo how fine tho house looked, with all the things In It, even by tho ffilm light of n lamp; It was really home, und almost as exciting as the placard hod described It. Ona was fairly dnnclng, and sho and Cousin Marlja took Jurgls by the arm and escorted him from room to room, sitting In each chair by turns, and then Instating that ho should do the same. One chair squeaked with hi* great weight, and they erreemed with fright, ond woke the bnby nnd brought everybody run ning. Altogether It was a great day, and.tired 5s they were. Jurgls ond Ona sat up late, contented simply to hold each other and gaxe In rapture about the room. They were going to be married ns eoon as they could get everything settled, and n llttj. spare uvcryuiiiiB «»»»»• «* money put by; and this was to lie their home—that little room yonder would be theirs! It was In truth a never-ending de light, tht fixing up of this house. They had no money to spend for the pirns ure of spending, but there were a few nr necei absolutely necessary things, nnd the buying of these was a perpetual ad venture for Ona. It must always be done at night, so that Jurgls could go along; and even If It were only a pep per cruel, or a half dozen glr 10 cents, that was enough for an ex- came home with a great things, and spread them out on the table, while every one stood around, and the children climbed up on the chairs, or howled to be lifted up to tea and cracker*, and a can of lard a milk pall, and a scrubbing brush, and a pair of shoes for th# second old est boy, and a can of oil and a tack the very level floor to reel on for the present. Even so, however, they slept aouniUy—It was necessary for Tata Elxbleta to pound more than once on the door at a quarter past 5 every morning. Sho would have ready a great pot full of ateamlng black cof fee, and oatmeal and bread and smoked sausages; and then she would fix them their dinner palls with more thick their dinner palls with more imm slices of bread with lard between them —they could not afford butter—and some onlona nnd a piece of cheeae, und ao they would tramp away to This waa the flrit time In hla life that he had ever really worked. It seemed to Jurgls: it waa the first time that he hod ever hnd anything to do which took all ha had In him. Jur gls had stood with the rest up In the gallery and watched the men on the killing beds, marveling at their speed and power as If they had been wonder ful machines; It somehow never oc curred to one to think of the flesh and blood aide of It—that In, not until he actually got down Into the pit nnd took off his coat. Then he saw things In a different light; he got at the In side of them. The pace they set here. It was one that called for every fac ulty of a man—from the Instant the first steer fell to the sounding of. the noon whistle, and again from half pant 12 till heaven only knew what hour In tha late afternon or evening, there wns never one Inatnnt's rest for a man —for hla hand or hla eye or hla brain. Jurgls saw how they managed It; there were portions of the work which de termined the pace of the reel and for these they had picked men wiiorrt they paid high wages, und whom they changed frequently. You might easily pick out thraa pace-mnkers. for they worked under the eye of the bosses, and they worked like men possessed This wa* called “speeding up the gang." and If any man could not kem> up with the pace, there were hundreds outside begging to try. T<*t JurglB Hid not mind It! h# rather enjoyed It. It saved Min ths neces sity of flinging his arms sbout and fidgeting n» ho did In most work. He " . . . ... s- i. • .1/ ha rnn ilritvn would laugh to himself na ha ran down tho lint, darting a glance now and then nt tho mnn ahead of him. It wm Mg the pleneonteat work one could think of, but It waa necessory .work; and what more had a man the right to nek than a chance to do eomethlng useful nnd to get good pay for doing It? So Jurgle thought, and eo he epoke, In hie bold, free way; very much to hie surprise, he found that It had a tendency to get him Into trouble. For most of the men hers took a fearfully different view of the thing. He waa quite dismayed when ho flr»t began to And It out—that moat of the men hat ed their work. It eeemed strange. It waa even terrible, when you came to And out the universality of sentiment; but It waa certainly the fact—they hated their work. They hated the boeaea and they hated the owners! they hated the tvbolo place, the whole neighborhood—oven tne whole city, with an all-Inclusive haired, bitter and fierce. Women ond little children would fall to cursing sbout It; It was rotten, rotten as hell—everything wae rotten. When Jurats would ask thsm what they meant, they would begin to get auspicious and content themselves with saying, "Never mind, you stay here and see for yourself." , One of the first problems that Jur gls ran upon was that ofjhe unjons. had had no experience with unions, and he had to have It explained to him that the men were banded together for the purpose of fighting for their rights.
