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.
