life a. they were lit In*: They w ere
loit. they wen. gulng down and there
_.,s no deliverance f..r thm. no hops;
i„r all the help U save them tIn v.i-i
city in which they lived micht have
been an ocean waste, a wild mess. a
desert, a tomb. So oflan this mood
came n. Ona, In The nlsht-tlme, when
.omethlngawakened her; she would He,
afraid of th® beat Inn of Iter own heart,
fronting the blue-ml eyes of the old
primeval terror of life. Onco ah. cried
aloud, and woke JuikIs, who was ilrcd
and efuss., After that she learned to
weep illently—their i.iooda a., seldom
came together now! It waa na If their
hopes were burled In separate graves.
Jurgta, being a man. bud troubles of
hi. own. There waa another apectru
following him. ile hail never spoken
of It, nor would h< allow any une elae
to speak of ft—he bad never acknowl
edged It® existence even to himself.
Yet the battle with It took nil th® man
hood that h« had—nnd one® or twice,
alas, a little more, Jurgls had dlscov-
creil drink.
He was working In the ateamlng fill
of hell; day lifter day, week after week
—until now there was not an organ of
•his body that worked without
pain, until the eound of ocean break
ers echoed In hie head day anil night,
and the buildings swayed and danced
lieforc him na he went down the street.
And fr&m all the unending horror of
this there w*a a respite, a deliverance—
he could drink! lie could forget the
pain, he could-.110 off the burden: he
would see clearly again, he would be
master of hla brain, qf hie thoughts,
of his will. Hie Uegd self would stir
In him. nnd he would find himself
laughing end cracking jokes with his
companions—he would be a man again,
and master of Ills life.
It was not on easy thing for Jurgla
to take more than two or three drinks.
With the first drink he 'could rat a
meal, and he could persuade hlnlaelf
that tlml that was economy; with the
second he could cut another meal—but
there would como a time when he could
eat no more, and then to pay for g
drink ivae an unthinkable extrava
gance, a defiance of the age-long In-
silncm of Ms hunger-haunted close.
One day, however, he took the plunge,
and drunk up all Hint he had In - hie
pockets, and went home halt "piped,"
as the men phrase It. He woe happier
than ho had been In a year; nnd vet,
because he knew that the happiness
would not last, he. was savage loo—
with those who would wrack It, and
with the world, and . with his wife:
mill then, again, beneath this, he wss
sick with the shame of himself. Af
terward. when lit saw the despair
of his family, end reckoned up the
money he had spent the tears came Into
his eyes, nnd he began the long battle
with the spectre.
It was n battle that had no end, that
never could have one. But Jurgls did
not realise that very clearly; he wns
n°l given much time for reflection. He
Simply knew that ne was always fight
ing. steeped In misery and despair ns
he wns, meraly to walk down' the street
was to be put upon the rack. There
was surely a saloon upon the corner—
perhaps on all four corners, and some
In the middle of the block as well; nnd
ear.1 stretched out a hand to him—
encii bail had a personality of Its own,
n'iur.'ments unlike any other. Going
■ omlng—before aunrlro and after
able to bear Ills suffering*—It was as
tr he hail all theae complaints—to show
what a prodigy of health he waa. He
was the child of his parents’ youth and
Joy: he grew up like the conjurer’s
rose bush, and all the world was Me
°y«'»r- In general, he toddled around
the kllchrn nil day with n lain and
hungry look—the portion of the fami
ly a allowance that fell to him waa not
enough, and he waa unreal ralnable In
hla demand for more., Anianas was
bul little over a yenr old. and already
jy one but his father could ipnnagh
Ons woa visibly going to pieces. In
the llrat place elte waa developin
cough, like the one that had killed ....
Beds Anianas. Khe had had a trace of
It ever since that fetal morning when
the greedy street car corporation hnd
turned her out Into the rain: but now
It was beginning to grow serious, and
to wake her up at night. Kven worse
thon that was the fearful nervousness
from which she suffered; she would
have frightful headaches and (Its of
aimless weeping: anil sometimes she
would come home nt night shuddering
and moaning, and would lllng herself
down upon the bed nnd burst Into tears.
Several times she was quite beside
herself end hysterical: and then Jurgls
would go half mad with frlgnt.
Elxbletn would explain to him
that It could not be helped, that
a woman was subject to such things.
But ho was hardly to bo per
suaded, and would beg nnd plead
to know .what had happened. She
had never been like this before.
would argue—It was monstrous 1
and unthinkable. It was the life
she had to live, the accursed work ahe
had to do, and that was killing her
by Inches. She wns not fitted for It—
no woman waa fitted for It, no woman
ought to bo allowed to do auch work;
1C the world could not keep them alive
any other way It ought to kill them nt
once and be done with It. They ought
not to marry, to have children; no
workingman ought to marry—If he.

So thtre came a time when nearly alt

frightened, more disposed to 'distrust
Klxbteta’s consolations, and to believe
that there was some terrible thing
about all this that he was not allowed
to know. Once or twice In these out
breaks he caught Ona’s eye. and
seemed to him like the eye of a hunted
animal: there were broken phrases .<f
anguish and despair now and then,
nmld her frantic weeping.. It roe only
because he wes so numb and hsatrn
himself that Jurgls did not worry mure
about this. But he never thought of lu
except when he wee dragged to U—he
lived like a dumb beast of burden,
knowing only the moment In which he
was.
The winter was coming on again,
more menacing and cruel than ever. It
was October, and the holiday rush had
begun. It was necessary for the pack

lo provide food that woqld be eaten at

about tills— whatever work there was

wished to keep their places: besides
that, It added another pittance to their
Incomes, so thoy staggered on with the
awful load. They would start work
everv morning at seven, and eat thelf
dinners at noon, nnd then work until
ten or eleven ot night, without another
mouthful of food. Jurgls wanted lo
wall for them, to help them home at
night, but they would not think ot this:
Hie fertiliser mill was not running
overtime, anil there was no place for
him to wait save In a saloon. Each
would stagger out Into the darkness,
