DEATH AND MISERY IN PACKING!OWN DISCLOSED BY “THE JUNGLE” Toilers Doomed To Be Demoralized by Rapacity of Beef Trust Owners CHAPTER XI (CONTINUED) It would have been better If Jurgla Hd been really III: If he had not been gbie to think. For he bail no resources ,uch as moat Invalid* have: all he could do wa» to lie there and toss about from Hde to aide. Now and then he would break Into cursing. regardless of every thing: and now and then his Impa tience would get the better of him, and he would try to get up, and poor Teta Elibleta would have to plead with him In frenay. Elibleta wns all alone with him the greater part of the time. She would *h and smooth his forehead by the hour, and talk to him and try to make him forget. Sometime* It would be too cold for the children to go to school, and they would have to play In the kitchen, where Jurgla was, because It was the only room that was half warm. Theso were dreadful times, for Jurgls could get as cross as any bear; he was scarcely to be blamed, for he had enough to worry him, and It was hard when he was trying to take a nap to be kept awake by nolay and peevish Children. Elzbleta's only resource in those times was little Antanas; Indeed, it would be hard to say how they could hare gotten along at all If It had not been for little Antanas. It was the one consolation of Jurgls’ long Imprison ment that now he had time to look at his baby. Teta Elibleta would put the clothes basket In which the baby slept alongside of his mattress, and Jurgls would lie upon one elbow and watch him by the hour. Imagining things. Then little Antanas would open hi* eves—he was beginning to take notice of things now, and ha would smile— how he would smllal So Jurgla would begin to forget and be happy, because he was In a world where there rvae a thing ao beautiful as the smile of little Antanaa, and because such a world could not but be good at the heart of It. . He looked more like hie father every hour, Elibleta would say, and laid It many times a day, because she saw that It pleased Jurgls; the poor, little terror-stricken woman was planning nil dav and all night to soothe the pris oned giant who was Intrusted to her care. Jurgls, who knew nothing about the age-long and everlasting hypocrisy o( woman, would take the bait and grin with delight; and then he would hold his finger In front of little Antanaa’ eyes, and move It this way and that; and laugh with glee to saa the baby follow It. There la no pet quite ao fascinating as a baby; he would look In to Jurgls' face with such uncanny se riousness, and Jurgla would start and cry: 'Taluk! Look, Muma, he knows Ida papa! He does, he does) Tu mano szlrdele, the little rascal!" chaptFr XII. For three weeks after his Injury Jurgls never got up from bed. It waa a very obstinate sprain; ths swelling would not go down, and the pain still continued. At the end of that time, however, he could contain himself no longer, and began trying to walk a little every day, laboring to persuade himself that h* waa better. No argu ments could stop him, and three or four days later he declared that he was going hack to work. He limped to the cars and got to Brown’s, where he found that the boss had kept his place —that la, was willing to turn out Into the snow the poor devil he had hired In the meantime. Every now and then the pain would force Jurgls to stop work, but he stuck It out till nearly an hour before cloalng. Then he wns forced to acknowledge that he could not go on without fainting; It almost broke his heart to do It, and he stood leaning against a pillar, and weeping like a child. Two of the men had to help him to the car, and when he got <mt he had to sit down and wait In the •now till some one cam* along. SO they put him to bed again, and j»nt for the doctor, as they ought to nave (lone In the beginning. It trana- Plted that he had twristtd a tendon out or place, and could never havo gotten well without attention. Then ho gripped the aides of the bed, and shut hla teeth together, and turned white with agony, while the doctor pulled and wrenched »*ay at hla swollen ankle. Whan tlnal- l». ' ln ctor left he told him that he would have to lie quiet for two months, and that if he went to work before ||«t time he might lame hlmaelt for Three day* later than cams another i.* ,v,, ." ,ow '* torm > * n(l Jonas and Marl- » and ona and tittle Stanlalovaa all •et out together, an hour before day- I 0 try to get to the yard*. About mwn the laat two cams back, the boy •creaming with pain. Hla fingers were quite certain that she would find' her place gone, and was all unnerved when she finally got to Brown's, and found that the forelady herself had failed to come, and waa therefor* compelled to be lenient. One of the consequences of this epl sode was that the first joints of three of the little boy's fingers were perma nently disabled, And another that there arter he always had to be beaten be. fore he set out to work, whenever there wns fresh snow on the ground. Jurgls was called upon to do the beating, and ns It hurt his foot he did It with a vengeance: but It did not tond to add to the sweetness of his temper. They say that 'the best dog will turn cross If he be kept chained all the time, and It waa the same with the man; he had not a thing to do all day but lie and curse his fate, and thp time came when he wanted to curse everythfng. This was never for very long, how ever, for when Ona began to cry Jurgls could not stay angry. The poor fellow looked like a homeless ghost, with his cheeks sunken in and hla long black hair straggling Into hla eyes; he waa too discouraged to cut It, or to think about hla appearance.

'he snowdrift than lose were soft and flabby. He had no ap petite, and they could • not afford to tempt him with delicacies. It was better, he said, that he should not eat. It waa a saving. About the end of March he had got hold of Ona’a bank book, and learned that there was only three dollars left to them In the world. •orst o: f **«g< they lost another member of.their fam ily; brother Jonas disappeared. One Saturday night h* did not coma home, and thereafter Ml their efforts to get trace of him were futile. It waa said by the boss at Durham’s that he had otten hi* week's money and left there. hat might not be true, of course, for sometimes they would say that when a man had been killed; It was the easiest way out of It for all concerned. When, for Instance, a man had fallen Into one of. the rendering tanka and had been made Into pure leaf lard and teorleas fertiliser, there was no use ettlng ths fact out and making hla family unhappy. More probable, how ever, waa the theory that Jonas had deserted them, and gone on the road, seeking happiness. He had been dis contented for a long lima, nnd not without some cause. He paid good board, and was yet obliged to live In n family where nobody got enough to eat. And Marija would keep giving them all her money, and of course he could not bm feel that he was called upon. tq ; do.the same. Then there were crying brats and all sorts of misery: a man would have had to be a good deM of a hero to atand It all without grumbling; and. Jonaa waa not In the least a hern—he was simply a weather-beaten old fellow who llkad to have a good supper nnd alt In the corner by the Are and amok* hla-pipe in peato before he went to bod. Here there waa not* room by the nre. and through the winter ths kitchen had seldom been warm enough for comfort. So, with the springtime, what waa more likely than that the wild Idea of escaping had come to him? Two years he had been yoked like a hors* to a half-ton truck In Durham’s dark cellars with never a rest, save on Sun days and four holidays In the year, and with never a word of thanks— only kldlcs and blows and curses, such as no docent dog would hava stood. And now th* winter was over, and th* spring wind* were blowing—and with a day’s walk a man might put the emoke of Packlngtown behind him for ever, and be where the grass was green and tha flowers Ml the colors of the rainbow! But now tho Income of the family woe cut down more than one-third, and the food demand was cut only one- eleventh, oo that they ware wore* off than ever. Also they were borrowing their fares, either not seeing them thinking they had already paid; ot .J he did ask, they would hunt through their pockets and then begin to cry, nnd either have their fares paid' by some kind old lady or else try the trick again on a new car. All this was fair play, they felt. Whose fault waa It that at the hours when workingmen were going to their work and back the cars were ho crowded that the con ductor* could not collect all the fare*? And, besides, th* companies were thieves, people said—had stolen all their franchises with the help of scoun drelly politicians. Now that the winter was by and there was no more danger of snow, nnd no more coM lo buy, nnd another room warm enough to put the children Into when they cried, and enough money to get along from week lo week i loss I. n il,lo ,h.ill ho had been. A man can get used to anything In the course of time, and Jurgls had got used to iytng about the house. Ona saw this and was very careful not to destroy his peace of mind by letting him know how very much pnln she was suffering. It was now the time of the spring rains, nnd Ona had often to rid* to her work In spite of the expensei the was getting paler every day, nnd sometimes, In spite of her good resolutions, It pained her that Jurgla did not notice It. Hhe wondered If he cared for her as much as ever, It all this misery u ns not wearing out hla love, she had to be away from him Ml the time and bear her own troubles while he waa bearing hla; and then, when ahe. came homo she was ao worn out; and whenever they talked they had only their wor ries to talk of—truly It was hard, In such a life, to keep any sentiment a|lve. The woe ot this would flame up in Ona sometimes—at night sh* would suddenly clasp her big husband In her arms and break Into passionate weep ing, demanding to know If ho really loved her. Poor Jurgls, who had In truth grown more matter-of-fact un der th* endless pressure of penury, would not know what to make ot these things, and could only try to recollect when he had last been croaa; and so Ona would have to forgive him and rob herself to sleep. The latter part of April Jurgls went to see the doctor, and was given a bandage to lace about hla ankle, and told that he might go back to work. It needed more than the permission of the doctor, however, for when he showed up on the killing floor of Brown’s, he was told by the foreman that It had not been possible to keep his job for him. Jurgls knew that this meant simply that the foreman had found some on* ela* to do the work ns well and did not want to bother to make a change. He stood In the doorway, looking mournfully on, seeing hts friends and companions at work, and feeling like an outcast. Then ha went out and took hi* place with the mob of the unemployed. This time, however, Jurgls did not have the saino line confidence, nor the same reason for It. Me wus no longer the flneat-looktng man In the throng, nnd the bosses no longer mndo for him; he was thin anil haggard, and Ills clothes were seedy, and he looked mis erable And there were hundreds who at the lard machine. Ona was account, and spoiling ones again her hopes of marriage and happiness. And they ware avan going Into debt to Tamosxlu* Kueslelks and letting him Impoverlahx himself. Poor Tamosslus was a man without any relatives, and with a wonderful talent besides, and he ought to have mad* money and prospered; but he had fallen In love, and so given hostages to fortune, and was doomed to be dragged down, too. So It was Anally decided that two more of the children would .have to leave school. Next to Stanlalovaa, who wan now flfteen, there was a girl, littl* Kotrlna. who was two years younger, and then two boya, VlUmaa, who was eleven, and NlkMojus, who waa ten. Both of these last were bright boys, and there waa no reason why their family should starve when tena of thousands of children no older were earning their own living*. So one morning they were given a quarter apiece and a roll with a sausage In It, And. with their minds top-heavy with good advice, werd sent out to make their way to the city and learn to a*U newspapers. Th*y came hack late at night In tears, having wMked th* live or alx mile# to report that a man had offered to take, them to a place where they sold newspapers, and had taken their money and gone Into a store to gat them, and nevermore been seen. So they both received a whipping, and the next morning set out again. Tbli tlm# they found the newspaper place, and procured their stock; and after wan dering about tIU nearly noontime say ing "Paper!” to every one they saw, they had all their stock taken away and received a thrashing besidsafrom a big newsman upon whoa# territory they had trespassed. Fortunately, how- aver, they had already aold soma pa per*. and came back .with nearly as much as they started with. After a week of mishap* such as tbeee the two little tallows began to team tho way* of the trade—the name* of the different papers, and how many town for months begging for wvt This wns a critical time In Jurgls’ life, and If he had been a weaker man he would have gone the way the rest did. Those out-of-work wretches would stand about the packing house* every morning till the police drove them away, and then they would scatter among the saloons. Very few of them had the nerve to face the rebuffs that thty would encounter by trying to get Into the but dings to Interview the .bosses; If they did not get a chance In the morning, there would be noth ing to do but hang about the saloons the rest of th* day and night. Jurgla waa saved from all this—partly, to b* sure, because It was pleasant weather, and there waa Mo need to be Indoors; but mainly because he carried with him always tha pitiful little face ot hla wife.

But there was no work for him. sought Ml the members of hla union— Jurgls had stuck to the union through all this—and begged them to speak a word for him. He went to every one he knew, asking for a chance, there or anywhere. He wandered Ml day through the buildings; and In a week or two, when he had been all over the ards, and Into every room to which je had access, and learned that there was not a job anywhere, ho persuaded himself that there might havo been a change In the places ha had Aral visited, and began the round nil over; till Anally the watchmen and the spot with threats. Then there wiu nothing more for him fo do but go with the crowd In th* morning, and keep In the front row and look eager, and whqn he failed, go back home, ai d play with little Katrina and the baby. Tha peculiar bttternsm of Ml thla was that Jurgla saw so pIMnly tha meaning of It. In the beginning he had been fresh and strong, end lie had gotten a job the first dny; but now he was accord-hand, a dai.mgel article, to to speak, and they did not want him. They had got tha beat out of hint—they had worn hint out, with their apeedtng-up and their careless ness, and now they had thrown him away! And Jurgla would make tha acquaintance .if others of three unem- P - red men, and find that they had all the same experience Thera were some, of course, who had wandered In from other places, who had been ground up In other mills; there were others who were out from their own fault—soma for Instance, who had not been able lo atand the nwful grind without drink. Tho vast majority however, were simply the worn-out IMIH III- Krc.'K nificllcss p.u King • IKK him*; they had tolled tin re, and kept up with tho pace, some of them for ten or twenty years, until finally the time had come when they could n*it Keep no with IT .(nv m.o.y Some had been frankly told that they were I,,,, old, that a sprier man was needed; others .had given occas Ion. by some act of carelessness or In competency; with most, however, th. occasion had been the same ns with Jurgls. They had been overworked nnd underfed so long, nnd flnnlly some disease had laid them on their backs they had cut themselves, nnd had blood poisoning, or met with some oth er accident. When a mnn came hack after Hint, he would get Ida place back "hie by the courtesy ,,f the boss. To this there was no exception, save when the accident wns one for which tho Arm was liable; In that cose they would send a slippery lawyer to see him, flrst to try to g*t him to sign away his claims, but if he wan too smart for that, to promise him that he nnd his should always be provided with work. Tills promise they would keep strictly nnd to the letter—for two years. Two years wus the "statute of limitations,” and after that the victim I >,uId not sue.

CHAPTER XIII. During this time that Jurgls was looking for work occurred the death of llttlo Krlstoforas, ono of tho children "f Telu Klzbletu.

At any rate, an hour after eating It the child began to cry with pnln, nnd In another hour he was rolling around on tha flour in convul sions. I.llle Kotrlna, who was Ml alone with him, ran out screaming for help, and after a while the doctor came, but not until Krlstoforas had howled his last howl. No one was really sorry this except poor Elxblsta, who was Inconsolable. Jurgls announced that ao tar as ha waa concerned ths child would have to be buried by the city, sine* they had no money for n funeral; nnd at this tho poor woman almost went out of her senses, wring ing her hands and screaming with grief and despair.

To this neighbors and so little Krlstoforas had a mass and a hearse with white plumes on It, and a tiny plot In a graveyard w ith a wooden cross to mark the place. The poor mother was not the same for months after that; the mere sight of the floor where little Xrletotonu had crawled about would make her weep. He had never had a fair rhanea. poor little fellow, she would say. lie had born handicapped from Ills birth. If only she had heard about It In lime, ao that she might have had that gre doctor to cure him of his lameness . Some time ago, Elibleta was told, _ Chicago billionaire had paid a fortune to bring a great European surgeon over to cure hla little daughter of the same disease from which Krlstoforas had suffered. And because thla surgeon had to have bodies lo demonstrate upon he announced that he would treat ths Children of the poor, n piece of magnanimity over which tho papers became eloquent! Elibleta, alas, did not read the paper*, and no one had told her; but perhaps It wns as well, for Just then (hey would not havo had ■e to go every day to *■■■ jrgaon, nor for that matter anybody with the time to take the child. All .this while that he was seeking for work, there was a dark ahadow dinting over Jurgls; as If a savage beast were lurking somewhere In the pathway of his Ilf*, and he knew II, and yet could not help approaching the place. Thera nre all stages of being out of work In Packlngtown, and he faced Ih dread the pros poet of reaching the lowest. There Is a place that waits for tha lowest man—tha fertilizer plant! Tho men would tMk about It Ih awe stricken whispers. Not more than one In ten had ever really tried It; tho oth visitors ever saw them, and the few who did would come out looking like Dante, of whom the peasants declared part of tiv 'm"N ..line all the “tank age,” and tho waste products of all sorts; here they dried out the bones— and In silffnrgtlng collars where the daylight never came you might see men nnd women nnd children bending over whirling machines ami rawing bits of bone Into all sorts of shapes, breathing their lungs full ot tho line dust, and doomed to die, every ono of them, with in o certain deflnlte time.
