Portsmouth, Va., June 27.—Atlanta’s
only representative ship In the Amer
ican navy Is now doing somewhat me
diocre duty at the Portsmouth navy
yard, retired, perhaps, from active
service for the remainder of Its days.
The Atlanta, which was once one of
the finest ships In the American navy,
now nothing more than a huge
boarding house, quartering the enlist
ed men attached to the reserve tor
pedo flotilla at the naval torpedo sta
tion at this navy yard.
The naval cadets attached to the
United States naval academy, at An
napolis, cruised In the Atlanta Inst
summer, but since that time the
cruiser 1ms cast off its immaculate
while and standard buff of the navy,
and has taken on the universal navy
green of the torpedo. boats. The big
warship looks rather awkward and
really out of place, as It lies moored
at the naval torpedo station, Identi
cal In -color with the scores of little
torpedo boats, submarines and de
stroyers moored alongside, and look
ing for all the world like pygmies be
side a giant.
But tho Atlanta's days of useful
ness are fast waning. It Is possible,
and even probable, that If the occa
sion arose for the need of a btg fleet
worships to encounter a hostile
fleet, the Atlanta could steam to sea
with the other vessels of Its class, nnd
put up a good fight, but ah long ns
everything Is Herene along the coast,
the Atlanta seems doomed to remain
on its present Inglorious duty—that
of a HtnUofl ship.
There Is no comparison between the
Atlanta Of old and the present-day
cruiser. Vessels of this class nee be
ing built larger and more formidable
each‘^ar. Ten years ago, the Atlanta
ranked with tho best afloat, now the
Colorado overbalances • the Atlanta's
tonnage of 3,000 by 10,680 tons. The
Colorado, Pennsylvania, Maryland nnd
West Virginia are speeded at 22 knots,
while the best the Atlanta could do
was 16.60 on its trial trip. ■ #
But the Cracker State Is not golhg
to* sink into oblivion from the naval
register. The queenly battle ship
Georgia smashed over the trial course
off the coast of Massachusetts a few

had scouted tlils (dea, but now knit hla

So Ona set out that day to hunt for
Work, and at night MnrIJa came home

Jasaltyte who had a friend Dint worked
In one of the wrapping rooms * In
Brown’s, and might get n place fqr Ona
there; only the forelady was the kind
dial take* presents—It was no use for
•ny on# to ask her for a place unless
*t the same time they slipped a ten-
dollsr bill Into her hand. Jurgla was
not In the least surprised at thl* now
--he merely asked what tho wage* of
the place would be. So negotiations
were opened, nnd after nn interview'
Ona came home and reported that the
rorelady seemed to like her, nnd had
••Id that, while she wns not sure, ahe
thought ahe might be able to put her
*t work aewlng covers on hams, a Job
at which she could earn ns much a*
eight or ten dollars a week. That was
» hid, so MnrIJa reported, after con-
•nhlng her friend; and then there was
*n anxious conference at home. The
work waa done In one of the cellar*,
and Jurgt* did not want Ona to work
In such a place: but then It was easy
work, and one could not have every
thing. So In the end Ona. with a ten-
dollar bill burning a hole In her palm,
bad another Interview with the fore-
l»dy.
Meantime Teta Elzbleta had taken
Stanlslovoa to the priest and gotten a
certificate to the effect that he was two
years older than he was, and with It
the little boy now sallied forth to make
his fortuhe In the world. It chanced
that Durham had Just put In a won
derful new lard machine, nnd when
the special -policeman In front of the
time station saw Rtnnlslovns and Ills
document ho smiled to himself and tetd
him to go—"Czla! Cxla!” pointing. And
ao Stanlslovas went down a long stone
corridor nnd up n flight of stairs, which
took him Into a room lighted by elec
tricity. with the new machines for
filling lard cans at work In It. The
lard wa» finished on the floor above,
and It came lb little Jets, like beauti
ful. wriggling, snow-white snakes of
unpleasant lodor. There were several
kinds and sizes of Jets, and after a
certain precise quantity hnd coma out,
each stopped .automatically, and tho
wonderful machine mndo a turn and
took the can under nnother Jet, and so
on, until It was filled neatly to tho
brim, and pressed tightly nnd smoothed
off. To attend to all this and fill sev
eral hundred can* of lard per hour
there' were necessary two human cren-
tures, one of whom knew how to ptaco
an empty lard can on a certain apot
every few seconds, and tho other or
whom knew how to take a full lard
can off a certain apot every few sec
onda and set It upon a tray.
And so, after little Btanlalova* had
stood gaxtng timidly about him for n
few minutes, a man approached him,
and asked what he wanted, to which
Stanlalovaa said, "Jab.” Then the man
said, “How oldr end Stanlslovas an

The story of "The Jungle," Upton Sinclair's novel, which ha* caused the government Investigation into
the methods employed by the Beef Trust, has ita origin In nn actual Paclnkgtown romance.
The flrst chapter show* a. broad-shouldered butcher being wedded to a young girl who sees In him a
hero. The wedding, in all its grotesqueness. Is described.
Practically penniless, JurglB tells his brldo 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 sup
port was abhorrent to him.
On arriving In Chicago, J. Szedvllas, a Lithuanian, who ran a delicatessen store In Parklngtown. guided
Jurgis, Ona, Murlja and the remainder of the party through the atock yards, after lie had given them lodg

The little coterie decided to purchase u house. They were to pay $12 a month for It. They And they

pany, In line with Its predatory policy, figures on selling the house again, ns It had sold the structure many
times before. The seductive, deadly “easy payment" plan had lured the unfortunate Lithuanians.

that the life was being w*orked out of him. IJo was strong. And he thought he would always be so. Antnnus

set some one else at a different Job,
and showed the lad how to place u lard
con every time the ompty arm of the
remorseless machine cams to him, and
so waa decided the place In the uni
vsrse of Uttlo Stanlslovas, and hit
destiny till the end of his days. Hour
after hour, day after day, year after
year, It was fated that he should stand
upon a certain square foot of floor
from seven In the morning until noon,
and again from half past twelve till
half past five, making nevei\a motion
and thinking never a thought, save for
the setting of lard cans.
In summer the stench of the warm
lard would be nauseating, and In win
ter the cans would.all but freezo td his
naked little fingers In the unheated cel
lar. Half the year it would be dark as
night when he went In to work and
dark os night again when he came out,
and so he would never know what the
sun looked like on week days. And
tor this, at the end of the week he
w’ould carry home $3 to hts family, be
ing hla pay at the rate of 6 cents per
hour—Just about hfs proper share of
the total earnings of the million rind
three-quarters of children who ore now
engaged in earning their livings In the
United States.
And meantime, because they were
young, and hope I* not to be stifled
before -Its time, Jurgis. and Ona were
again colculatlng; for they had discov
ered that the wages of Htanlelova
would a little more than pay the In
terest. which left them Just abot^t as
! they had been before! It would be
but fair to them to say that the little
boy was delighted with his work, and
at the Idea of earning a lot of money;
, nnd also that the two were very much

CHAPTER VII.
I AU summer long the family tolled,
j and fn the tall they had money enough
; for Jurgis and Ona to be married ac
cording to home traditions of decency.
In the latter part of November they
hired a hall and Invited nil tlulr new
• acquaintances, who came and left
l them over a hundred dollars in debt.
It was a bitter and cruel experience,
and It plunged them Into an agony of
despair. Such a time, of all times, for
them to have it, when their hearts were
made tender! Such a pitiful begin
nlng it was for their married lift; they
loved each other so, and they could
not have the briefest respite! It was
a time when everything cried oui to
them that they ought to be happy;
when wonder burned !n their heart*
and leaped into flame at the slightest
breath. They were shaken to the
depth* of them, with the awe of love
realized, and wo* It so very weak of
them that they cried out for & little
peace? They had opened their hearts,
like flowers to the springtime, nnd the
merciless winter luid fallen upon th»*m.
They wondered 1f ever any love that
that had blossomed la the world had
been so crushed and trampled!
Over them, relentless and savage,
there cracked the lash of want; the
morning* after the w*edd!ng It sought
them a* they slept, and drove them
out before daybreak to work. Ona waa
scarcely able to stand with exhaustion;
but If she were to lose her place they
w’ouJd be ruined, and she would surely
lose It If she were not on time that
day. They all had to go, even little

All that day he stood at his lard

closing in spite of him; and he bad
nil but lost his place even ao. for the
foreman booted him twice to waken

Jurgis lost his temper very little,

this; and a hundred times a day, when

But tig* was resolved that she should
never find this out, end so was always
on the watch to see that he did not
betray any of his ugly self; he would
take care even In little matters, such
as his manners, and his habit ot
swearing when things went wrong.
The tears came so easily Into Ona’s
••yes, and she would look nl him
appealingly—It kept Jurgis quite busy
ranking resolutions. In addition to all
the other things he had on his mind.
It was true that rnoro things were go
ing on at this time In the mind of Jur-
gis than ever had In all his life before.
He had to protect her, to do battle
for her against the horror ho saw
about them. He was all that she had

Now Ona had been told that she

way to speak up. and so she merely
waited, following the conductor about
with her eyes, wondering when lie
would think of her. When at last the
time came for her to got out, she asked
for the transfer and was refused. Not
knowing what to make of this, she be

Thero were many such danger* In
which the odds were all agnlnst them.
Their children were not as well as they
had been at home, but how could they
know that there was no sewer to their
house nnd that the drainage of fifteen
years was in a cesspool tinder It? How
could they know that tho pale-blue

and showed tho customer how the Ut

There Is a poet who sings that—
"Deeper their heart grows and nobler
their healing,
Whose youth in the Ares of anguish
hath died."
But it Is not likely that he had tefer-

petty, so ugly, so humiliating unre
