Her word* fairly drove him wild. He tore hie hand* loose and (tuna her off. "Answer me,” lie cried. "I eay— anawer me!” She eanjc down upon the floor, be ginning to cry again. It waa like list ening to the moan of a damned aoul. and Jurgla could flbt aland It. He emote hla flat upon the table by bla aide and ahouted again at her, “An awer me!” She began to acream aloud, her voice like the voice of aome wild beast. "Ah! eh! I can't! I can't do It!” "Why can’t you do It?” he ahouted. "I. don't know howl” He aprang and her by the arm. lifting her up and glaring Into her face. "Tell me where you were laat night!” he panted. "Quick, out with It I” Then ahe began to whlaper, one word at a time: "I—waa In—a houee—down town.” "What houee? What do you mean?" She tried to hide her eyee away, but he held her. "Mlaa Henderaon'e house," ahe gaaped. He did not underetand at first. "Mlaa Henderaon'e houee?” ha echoed. And then auddenly, aa In an explosion, the horrible truth buret over htih, and he reeled and ataggered back with An Inatant later he loaped at her, aa aha lay grovelling at hla feet. H seized her by the throat. "Tell me! he gaaped, hoaraely. "Quick! Who took you to that place?” She tried to get away, making him furious; he thought It waa fear, or the pain of hla clutch—be did not un- ' demand that It waa the agony of her ,shame. Still ahe anawered him: “Con- fnor.” "Connor!” he gaaped, "who la Con- ) nor7" i “The bora,” ahe anawered. "The : man"— ’ Ho tightened hla grip. In .hla frenxy, and only when he aaw her eyee cloalng I did he reallaa that he waa choking her. 'Then he relaxed hla Angara and crouched, waiting until ahe opened her lids ngnln. Hla breath beat hot Into ' her face. "Toll me,” he whlapered, at laat; . "tell mo about It." She lay perfectly motlonleaa, and ho had to hold hla breath to catch her ' words. "I did not want—to do It,” ahe eald; "I tried—I tried not to do It. I only did It—to save us. It was our only chance." Again for a apace there waa no sound but hla panting. Ona'a eyda closed, and when ahe spoke again she did not' open them. “He told me—he would have me turned off. He told me —we would—we would all of us lose our places. We could never get any thing to do—here—again. He—he meant It—he would have ruined us.” Jurgla* arms were shaking do that he could scarcely hold himself up, and lurched forward now and then aa he listened. "When—when did this be gin?" he gasped. "At the very flrat,” she said. She spoke as If In a trance. "It was all— It waa their plot—Miss' Henderson's plot. She haled me. And he—he want ed me. He used to speak to me—out on the platform. Then he began to— to make love to me. He offered me money. He begged me—he said he loved me. Then he threatened me. He knew nil about us, he knew we would starve. He knew your boss—he knew Martla’e. He would hound us to death, he said—then he said If I would—If I— we would all of us be sure of work— always.” A moment ago her face had been ashen gray, now It waa scarlet. She waa beginning to breathe hard again. Jurgla made not a sound. ‘That was two months ago. Then he wanted me to come—to that house. He wanted me to stay there. He said all of u*—that we would not have to work. He made me come there—In the evenings. I told you—you thought I jwaa at the factory. Then—one night ilt snowed, and I couldn't get back. I And last night—the cars were stopped, 'it was Xhch a little thing—to ruin us all." All this ahe had eald without a quiver; she lay still as death, not an .eyelid moving. And Jurgla, tod, said • not a word. He lifted himself by the bed, and stood up. He did not atop for another glance at her, but went to the door and opened It. He did not see Elsbleta, crouching terrified In the cor ner. He went out, hat less, leaving the street door open behind him. The In. slant his feet were on the sidewalk he broke Into a run. He ran like one possessed, blindly, furiously, looking neither to the right nor left. He was on Ashland avenue before exhaustion compelled him to alow down, and then, noticing a car, he made a dart for It and drew him self aboard. His eyes were wild and hla hair flying, and he waa breathing hoarsely, like a wounded bull; but the people on the car did not notice this particularly—per lisps It seemed natural to them that a man who smelt aa Jur- gls smelt should exhibit an aspect to correspond. They began to give way before him as usual. The conductoe took his nickel gingerly, with the tl| of his fingers, and then left him wli the platform to himself. Jurgls did not even notice It—his thoughts were far away. Within hla soul It was like a roaring furnace; he stood waiting, waiting, crouching aa If for a'aprlng. 11a had some of his breath back when the car came to the entrance of the yards, and so he leaped off and started again, racing at full speed. Peo ple turned and stared at him, but he saw no oSs There was the factory, and ha bounded through the doorway and down the corridor. He knew the room where Ona worked, and he knew Connor, the boas of the loading gang outside. He looked for the man as he sprang Into the room. The truckmen were hard at w< loading the freshly packed boxes barrels upon the cars. Jurgls shot awlft glance up and down the platfo The man waa not on It. But then, suddenly, he heard a voice In the cor. ridor, and started for It with a bound, In an Instant more he fronted the boss. He waa a big, red-faced Irishman, isrse featured and smelling of liquor, e saw Jurgls aa he crossed the threshold, and turned white. He hesi tated one second, as It meaning to run, and In the next his assailant waa upon him. He put up hla hands to protect his face, but Jurgls, lunging with all the power of hla arm arid body, struck him fairly between the eyes and knocked him backward. The next mo ment he was on top of him, burying his fingers In hla throat. Jurgls this man's whole presence reeked of the crime he had committed; the touch of hla body was madness to him. It set every nerve of him a-tremb- llng; It aroused all the demon In hla aoul. It had worked Its will upon Onn, this great beast—and now ho had It. he had It! It waa his turn now! Things swam blood before him, and he screamed aloud In his fury, lifting victim and smashing his head upon the floor. The place, of course, was In an up- ronr, women fainting and shrieking, ami men rushing In. Jurgla was so bent upon his task that he knew nothing of this, and scarcely realised thnt people were trying to Interfere with him; It was only when half a dozen men liad seised him by the legs nnd shoulders and were pulling at him thnt he understood that he was losing hla prey. In a flash he had bent down and sunk ' his teeth Into the man's cheek. They got him down upon the floor, dinging to hltn by his arms and legs, and still they could hardly hold him. He fought like a tiger, writhing and twisting, half flinging them off, nnd starting toward his unconscious enemy. But yet others rushed In, until there Was a little mountain of twisted limbs and bodies, heaving nnd tossing, anil working Its way about the room. In the end by their sheer weight they choked the breath out of him, nnd then they carried hint lo the company police station, where he lay still until they had summoned a patrol wagon to take him away. . CHAPTER XVI. * When Jurgls got up again he went quietly enough. He 'was exhausted and half dazed, and besides ho saw the blue uniforms of the policemen. He drove In a patrol wagon with half a dozen of them watching him; keeping aa far away as possible, however, on account of the fertiliser.

On hla way to hla cell a burly policeman cursed him be cause he started down the wrong cor ridor, and then added a kick whan he waa not quick enough: nevertheless, Jurgla did not even lift hla ayes—ha had ' lived two years and a half In Packlngtown, and he knew what the police Were. It was as much as a man's very life was worth to anger them, here In their Inmost lair: like aa not a doyen would pile on to him at once,'and pound hla face Into a pulp. It would be nothing unueual If he got bla ahull cracked In the melee—In which caee they would report that he had been drunk and had fallen down, and there would be no one lo know the difference or to care. Bo a barred door clanged upon Jur is and he aat-down upon a bench and urled hla face In hla hands. He waa alone; he had the afternoon and all of the night to himself. At flrat he was Ilka a wild beast that has glutted Itself: he was In a dull stupor of satisfaction. Ha had done up the scoundrel pretty well—not as well as he would have It they had given him a minute more, but pretty well, all the same; the ends of-hla An gara were etlll tingling from their con tact with the fellow'e throat. But then, little by lltlle, as his strength came back and hla eenees cleared, he began to see beyond hie momentary gratltlca- tlon; that he hod nearly killed the boas would not help Ona—not the hor rors that she had borne, nor the mem ory that would haunt her all her days. It would not help to feed her and her child; ahe would certainly lose her place, while he—what was to happen to him God only knew. Half the night he paced the floor, wrestling with this nightmare: end when he was exhausted he lay down, brain was too'much for him. In the cell next to him was a drunken wife- beater and in the one beyond a yelling maniac. At midnight they opened the station house lo the homeless wsn- tlerers who were crowded about the door, shivering In the winter blast, and 1 they thronged Into the corridor outside of the cells. .Some of them etretched themselves out An the bare atone floor and fell lo snoring; others sat up, laughing and talking, cursing and quarrelling. The air was fetid with their breath, yet In spile of this some of them smelt Jurgls and culled down the torments of hell upon him, whlls ■ In u far corner of hla counting the throbblngs of the I in his forehead. They had brought him hla supper, .. hlch was. "duffers and dope”—I hunks of dry bread on a tin plate, coffee, called “dope" because It was drugged to keep the prisoners quiet. Jurgla had not known this, or he would have awallowed the stuff In despern tlon; as It was, every nerve of him wai a-qulver with shame and rage. To- wnrd morning the place fell silent, and he got tp and began to puce his cell; and then within the soul of him there rose up a flend, red-eyed and cruel, and tore out the strings of his heart It was not for himself that he suf fered—what did a man who worked In Durham's fertiliser mill care about anything that the world might do to him! What waa any tyranny of prison compared with the tyranny of the of the thing that had happened rould not he recalled, of the memory that could never be effaced! The hor ror of It drove him mad: he stretched out hie arms to heaven, rrying nut for deliverance from It—and there waa no deliverance, there waa no power even In heaven that rould undo the past. It was a ghost that would not down; II followed him. It seised upon him ami beat him lo the ground. Ah, If only he could have foreseen It—but then he would have foreseen It. If he had not been a fool! He smote his hands upon him forehead, cursing himself because he had not stood between her nnd a fate every one knew to be so rommon. He should hove taken her away, even It were to lie down and die of starv ation In the gutters of Chicago's streets! And now—oh, It could not be true; It was too 'monstrous, too hor- rlble! It was a thing that could not be faced; a new shuddering seised him every time he tried to think 'of It. No, there was no bearing the load of It, there was no living under It. There would be none for her—he knew that he might pardon her. might plead with her on his knees, but she would never look him In the face again, she would never be his wife again. The shame It would kill her—there could be other deliverance, and It was best that she should die. That was simple and clear, and yet, ■ ith cruel Inconsistency, whenever he escaped from thls'nlghtmure It was to suffer and cry out at til# vision of Ona starving. They had put hint In Jail, nnd they would keep him here it long time, years maybe. And Ona would surely not go to work again, broken nnd crushed ns she wns. And Elsbleta and Martin, too. might lose their places If that hell-flend Connor chose to set to work to ruin them, they would all be turned out. And even If he did not, they could not live—even If the boys left school ngaln, they could surely not nuy all the bills without him and Cna. They had only a few dollars now— they had Just paid the rent of the house a week ago, nnd that after It wns two weeks overdue. So It would be due again In u week! They would have no money to pay It then—and thev would lose the house, after all their long, henrt-breaklng struggle. Three times now the agent had warned him that he would not tolerate another delay. Perhaps It was very base of Jurgls to be thinking about the house when he had the other unspeakable thing to Oil his mind; yet, how much he had suffered for this house, how much they hsd all of them suffered! It was their one hope of respite, as long as they lived; they hsd put all Ihelr money Into It—and they were working people, poor people, whose money was their strength, the very substance of them, body and soul, the thing by which ' lived and for lock of which they And they would lose It all; they would be turned out Into tha streets, and have to hide In some Icy garret, nnd lire nr die as best they could! Jurgla had all the night—and many more nights—to think about this, and he saw the thing In Its details; lived It all. aa If he were there. They would sell their furniture, and then run Into debt at the stores, and then be re fused credit; they would borrow a lit tle from Sxedvllases, whose delicates sen store was tottering on the brink of ruin; the neighbors would help them a little—poor, sick Jsdvygs would bring a few spare pennies, as she always did when the people were starving, and Tamosslus Kualelka would bring them the proceeds of a night's Addling. So they would struggle to hang on until he got out of Jail—or would they know that he waa In Jail, would they be able to And out anything about him? Would they be allowed to see him—or would It be a a rt of hla punishment to be kept in torance about their fate? His mind would hang up.in the worst possibilities; he saw Una III and tor tured, Marlja out of her place, little Stanlslovas unable to get to work for the snow, the whole family turned out on the street. God Almighty! would they actually let them lie down In the street and die? Would there be no nelp even then—would they wander about In the enow Mil they froze? Jurgls hod never seen any dead bodies In the streets, but he had seen people evicted and disappear, no one, knew where; and though the city had a re lief bureau, though there was a char. of them. not advertise their activities, having more rails then they could at tend to without that. So on until morning. Then he had another ride In the patrol wagon, along with the drunken wlfebeater and the maniac, several "plain drunks” and “saloon fighters," a burglar and two men who had been arrested for steal ing meat from the packing house*. Along with them he was driven Into a large, while-welled room, stale-smell- Ing and crowded. In front, upon a raised platform behind a rail, sat a stout, flortd-fneed personage, with" a nose broken out In purple blotches. Our friend realised vaguely that he was about to be tried. He wondered what for—whether or not his victim might be dead, and If so, what thty would do with him. Hang him, per haps, or beat him to death— | othlng would have surprised Jurgls, who knew little of the laws. Yet he bad picked up gossip enough to have It occur >" him that the loud-voiced man upon the bench might be the notorious Justice Callahan, about whom the people of Packlngtown spoke with bated breath. "Pat" Callahan—"Growler" Pat, aa b* had been known before he ascend ed the bench—had begun life as a butcher boy and a bruiser of local rep utation; he had gone Into politics al moat aa soon as h* bad learned to talk, and had held two offices at once before he waa old enough to vote.

No politician ked h" ' ‘ he had been „ _ been the buelneee agent In the city council of old Durham, the self-made merchant, away back In the early days when the whole city of Chicago had been up at auction. "Growler" Pet had given up holding city offices very early In hie career—caring only for party power, and giving the rest of hts time to auperlntendlng his dives and brothels Of late years, however, since his children were growing up, he. hsd be gun lo value reepectablllty, and had himself made a magistrate, a position for which he waa admirably fitted, be cause of his strong conservatism and hla contempt for "foreigners.'’ Jurgls sat gazing about tha room for an hour or two; he waa In hopes that soma one of the family would come, but In this he was disappointed. Fin ally, he waa led before the bar, and a lawyer for the company appeared against him. Conner wss under the doctor’s care, the lawyer explained briefly, and If Hla Honor would Jiold the prisoner for a -week "Three hundred dollars,” -said -HI* Honor promptly. . Jurgla was staring from th* Judge to the lawyer In perplexity. "Have you any one to go on your bond?” de manded the Judge and then a clerk who stood at Jurgla' elbow explained lo him what this meant The latter shook hla head, and before he real ized what had happened the police men were leading him away again. They took him to a room where other piizoner* were waiting, and here he stayed until court adjourned, when he had another long and bitterly cold ride In a patrol wagon to the county Jail, which Is on the north side of the city, and nine or ten miles frojn the stock yards. Here they searched Jurgls, leavlhf him only his money, which consists! of 16 cents. Then they led him to a room and told him to strip for a bath, after which he had to walk down a long gallery, past the grated cell doors of the Inmates of the Jail. This wa a great event to the latter—the dally review of the new arrivals, all stark naked, and many and diverting were the comments. Jurgls was required stay In the bath longer than any one. In the vain hope of getting out of him elds. The prisoners roomed two In a cell, but that day there was one left over, and he was the one. The cells were In tiers, opening upon galleries. Ills cell was about 5 feet By 7 In size, tvlth a stone door and a heavy wooden bench built Into It. There was no window—the only light came from windows near the roof at one end of the court oulzlde. There were two bunkx, one above the other, each with a straw mattress'and a pair of gray blankets—the latter stiff os boards with filth, and alive with fleas, bedbugs and lice. When Jurgls lifted up the mattress he discovered beneath It a layer of scurrying roaches, al most os badly frightened as himself. Hera they brought him more "duff ers and dope,” with the addition of a bowl of soup. Many of the -prisoners had their meals brought In from a res taurant, but Jurgls had no money for that. Some had books to read and cards to play, with candlea to burn by night, but Jurgls waa all alone In the darkness and alienee. He could not sleep again; there waa the same mad dening procession of thoughts that lashed him like whips upon his naked back. When night fell he waa pacing up and down hla cell like a wild beaat that breaks Its teeth upon the bars of Its cage. Now and then In his frensy he would fling himself against the walls of the place, beating his hands upon them. They cut him and bruised him—they were cold and merciless as the men who built them. In the distance there was a church tower bell that tolled the hours one by one. When It came to midnight Jurgls was lying upon the floor with his head In hla arms, listening. Instead of fall ing silent at the end, the bell broke Into a sudden clangor. Jurgls raised his head; what could that mean—a Are In this Jail! But then he Inode out a melody in the ringing; there were chlmeo. And they teemed to waken the city—all around,. far and near, there were hells, ringing wild music. For fully a minute Jurgls lay 1 wonder, before, all at once, the i Ing of It broke over him—that was Christmas Eve! Christmas Eve—he had forgotten It entirely I There was a breaking of floodgates, a whirl, of new memories and new griefs rushing Into his mind. In fur Lithuania they had celebrated Christmas; and It came to him a* If It had been yeeterday—himself a littla child, with hla lost brother and hla dead father In the cabin In the .deep black forest, where the snow fell all day and all night and burled them from the world. It was Ido far off for Santa Claus In Lithuania, but It waa not too far for peace and good will to men, for the wonder-bearing vision of the Christ child. And even In Packlngtown they hr d not forgotten It—some gleam of It had never failed to break their dark ness. Last Christmas eve and all Christmas day Jurgla bad tolled on the killing beds, and Ona at wrapping hams, and still they had found strength enough lo take the children for a walk upon the avenue, to see the store windows all decorated with Christmas trees and ablaze with elec tric lights. In one window there would be live geese. In another marvel* In sugar—pink and white canes big enough for ogres, and cakes with cher ubs upon them; In a third there would be rows of fat yellow turkeys, deco rated with rosettes, and rablbts and squirrels hanging; In a fourth would be a fairy land of toys—lovely dolls with pink dresses, and woolly sheep and drama and soldier hats. Nor did they have to go without their share of all thl% either. The last tung r ' “ them i Ing to do—a roast of pork and a cab bage for Ona and a rubber doll that squeaked and a little green cornucopia full of candy to be hung from the gas Jet and gated at by half a doben pairs of longing eyes. Even halt a year of tha sausage ma chines and the fertiliser mill had not been able to kill the thought of Christ mas In them. There was a choking In Jurgla' throat as he recalled that th* very night On* had not come home Teta Elsbleta had token him aside and WHOLE FAMILY RUINED BY BRUTALITY OF BOSS shown him an old valentine that ahe had, picked up In a paper store for three cents—dingy and shop-worn, but with bright colors, and figures of an gel* and doves. She had wiped all the specks off this and v wa* going to set It on Che mantel, whore the children could see It. Great sobs shook Jurgl this memory. They would spend Christmas In misery and despair, with him In prison and On* III and their home In desolation. Ah, it was too cruel! Why at least had thfy not left him alone! Why. after they had shut him In Jail, must they be ringing Christmas chimes In hla cars! But no, their bells were not ringing for him—their Christmas was not meant for him; they were simply not counting him at all. He waa of no consequence—he was flung aside, like a bit of trash, the carcass of some animal. ■ It was horrible, horrible! His wife might be dying, his baby mlgl starving, hla whole family mlgh perishing In the cold—and all the while they were ringing Ihelr Christmas chimes! And the bitter mockery of It—all thla was punishment for him! They put him In a place where the •now could not beat In, where the cold could not eat through hls bones; they brought him food and drink—why, In the name of heaven, If they must pun ish him, did they not put hls family In Jail and leave him outside—wh; could they And no better way to punlsl him than to leave three weak women and six helpless children to starve and frees*? . That waa their law; that waa their lustlce! Jurgls stood upright, trem- illng with passion, hls hands clenched and hla arms upraised, hls whole soul ablaze with hatred and deflance.-Then thousand curies upon them and their law! Their Justice—It was a lie, It was a lie, a hideous, brutal He, a thlnj too black and hateful for any worli but a world of nightmares. It was a •ham and a loathsome mockery. There was no justice, there was no right, anywhere In It—It was only force, It was tyranny, the will and the power, reckless and unrestrained!
