The Jungle’s Victim Is Driven to Tramp Life -and Rejoices in the Escape JURGIS AT LAST BREAKS FROM THE BONDS Conscience Awakened in Time .to Prevent His Descent Into the Vortex of Vicious Criminal Life. CHAPTER XXI (CONTINUED) Jn a week Jurgls got over lila aenia ®f helplessne,* and bewilderment In the rallmill. He learned to find hli way about and to take all the miracle* and terror! for granted, to work with out hearing the rumbling and crashing. From blind fear he went to the other axtrem.; he became reckless and In different, like all the reit of the men, who took but little thought of them selves m the ardor of their work. It wa. wonderful, when one came to think of It, that thea* men ahould have taken an Interest In the work they did; they had no share In It—they were paid by the hour, and paid no more for being Intereitd. Also they knew that If ihey wera hurt they would be flung aside and forgotten—and atlll they would hurry to their task by dangerous ■hart-cute, would uae method* that Were quicker and more effective In ■Plte of the fact that they were alao rlxky. Hla fourth day at hi, work Jurgie taw a man stumble while run ning in front of a car, and have bl* foot emaahed off; and before he had been there three weeke he wa» wltneaa of a yet more dreadful accident. There wae a row of brick furnace*, ahlnlng white through every crack with the tnoiten steel inside. Some of these were bulging, dangerouely, y*t men worked before them, wearing blue glasses when they opened and shut tne door,. One morning as Jurgla waa passing, a furnace blew out, spraying two men with a shower of liquid fire. *• they lay screaming and rolling upon the ground In agony, Jurgla rushed to ball* them, and as a result he lost a Zood part of the skin from the Inalde of one of his hands. The company doctor bandaged It up, but he got no other thanks from -any one, and was ■an up for eight working days without Elegant Silver The excellence and.popu krity of Maier & Berkele silver is due largely to the tasteful designs and artistic patterns we carry in stock. If you wapt any of the pew things, we have them, iVe study the modes in these iues as attentively as smart iressers study the current ashions. Maier & Berkele Most fortunately, at his Juncture, Etsbleta got the long-waited chance to go at 6 o'clock In the morning and help scrub the offlee floors of one of the packers. Jurgls came home and cov ered himself with blankets to keep warm, and divided hla time between sleeping and playing with little An* tanas. Juosapas was away raking In the dump a good part of the time, and Etsbleta and Martja were hunting for more work. Antanas waa now over a year and a half old, and was a perfect talking machine. He learned ao fast that every week when Jurgls came home It seemed to him as If h* had a new child. He would alt down and listen and stare at him, and give vent to delighted excla mations—"Palauk! Mums!. Tu mano ssIrdelaV* The little fellow wa* now really the one delight that Jurgla had In the world—his one hope, hie one victory. Thank God, Antanaa was a boy! And he was as tough as a pine- knot, end with the appetite of a wolf. Nothing had hurt him, and nothing could hurt him; he had com* through all the suffering and deprivation un scathed—only ahriller-volced and more determined in hla grip upon Ufa. He was a terrible child to manage, waa Antanas, but his father did not mind that—he would' watch him and smll* to himself with satisfaction. The more of a lighter he was the better—he would need to fight before he got through. Jurgls had got the habit of buying the Sunday paper whenever he had the money; a moat wonderful paper could be had for only 8 cents, a whole arm ful, with all the news of the world set forth In big headlines, that Jurgls could spell out slowly, with the chil dren to help him at the long worda. There were battle and murder and sudden death—It was marvelous how they ever heard about so many .en tertaining and thrilling happenings; the stories must lys all true, for sure ly no man could nave made such things up; and besides, there were pictures of them alL a» real as life. One of these papers was as good as a circus, and nearly an *good a* a apree—-certainly a most wonderful treat for a working man who was tired out and stupefied, and had never had any education, snd whose work wa* one dulL eordlcf grind, day after day. and year after year, with never a eight of a green field nor an hour’s entertainment, nor anything but liquor to stimulate hla Imagina tion. Among other things, these pa pers had pages full of comical pic tures, and these were the main Joy In life to little Antanas. He treasured them UR and would drag them out and make his father tell him about them; there were all sort* of animals among them, and Antanas could tell the name* of all of them, lying upon the floor for hours and pointing them out with his chubby little Anger*. And then, when he waa able to use bis hands, Jurgls took hi* bedding again and went back to hi* task of shifting rail* It ws* now AprU, and th* snow had given place to cold rains, and the unpaved street In front of Anlele's house was turned Into a ca nal. Jurgls would have to wndo through It to get home, and If It was late he might easily get stuck to his waist In the mire. Byt ho did not mind this much—It was n promise that sum mer Was coming. Marlla had now got ten a place as beef trimmer In one of tho amaller packing plants; and he told himself that he had learned hlH lesson now, and would meet with no more accidents—so that at last thero was prospect of an end to their long Journey. They could save money again, and when onother winter came they would hnve a comfortable place, end the children would be off the streets and In school again, and they might set to work to nurse beck Into life their habits of decency and kind ness. Ho once more Jurgls began, to mako plan* and dream dreams. And then one Saturday night he Jumped off the car and started homo, with the sun shining low under the edge of a bank of clouds that had been pouring floods of water Into the mud- soaked street. There was a rainbow In th* sky, and another In his breast, for he had thirty-six ■ hours' rest be fore him and a chance .to see hla family. Then suddenly he came In sight of the house, nnd noticed a crowd before the door. He ran up the steps and pushed his wey In. and saw An- Isis's kitchen crowded with excited wo men. It reminded him so vividly of the time when he hnd come home from Jail and found Ona dying that his heart almost- etood still. "What's the mat ter r he cried. A dead silence had fallen In the room, and he law that every one wa* storing at hlin. "What’a the matter?" he exclaimed again. And then, up In the garret be heard sounds of walling Jn Marlja's voice. He started for the ladder—end Anlele seized him by tho arm. "No, no!" she exclaimed. "Don't go up there!" "What Is Itr he shouted. And the old woman answered him weakly: "It’e Antanas. He's dead. He wa* drowned out In tho street!"

He turned deathly pale, but he caught himself, and for half a minute stood In the middle of the room, clenching his hands tightly and setting his teeth. Then he pushed Anlele asldo and strode Into the next room and climbed the ladder. In the corner wae a blanket with a form half showing beneath It; and beside it ley Klzbleta, whether crying 11 a faint, Jurgls rould r»->t tMI. MarIJa was pacing the room, scream ing and wringing her bands. He clenched his hands tighter yet, and his voice was hard os he spoke. “How did it happen?” he asked. MarIJa scarcely heard him In her agony. He repeated the question, louder and yet more harshly. “He fell off the sidewalk!** ehe walled. The sidewalk In front of the house was a platform made of half-rotten boards about five feet above the level of the sunken street. “How did he come to be there?” he demanded. “He went—he went out tp play,” MarIJa sobbed, her voice choking her. **We couldn’t make him stay in. He rauat have got caught In the mud!” Are you eure he Is dead?** ha de manded. "All al!” ehe walled. '*Yee; we had the doctor.” Then Jurgls stood a few seconds, wavering. He did not shed a tear, lie took one glance more at the blanket with the little form beneath It. and then turned suddenly to the ladder and climbed down again. A silence fell once more In the room as he entered. He went straight to the door, passed out and started down the street. When his wife had died Jurgls made for the nearest saloon, but he did not do th&t now. though he had hie week’s wages In his pocket. He walkod and walked, seeing nothing, splashing through mud and water. Later on he sat down upon a step and hid his face in his hands and for half an hour or so he did not move. Now and then ho would whisper to himself: “Dead! Dead!” Finally he got up and walked' on again. It was about sunset, and ho went on and on until it was dark, when he was stopped by a railroad crossing. The gates were down and a long train of freight cars wae thun dering by. He stood and watched It, and all at once a wild Impulse seized him. a thought that had been lurking within him, unspoken, unrecognized, leaped Into sudden life. He started down tho track, and when ho was past the gatekeeper’s shanty he sprang for ward and swung himself on to one of the cars. By and by the train stopped again, and Jurgls sprang down and ran under the car and hid himself upon the truck. Here he eat, nnd when the train started again, he fought a battle with his soul. He gripped his hands and set his teeth together—he had not wept, end he would not—not a tear! It was past and over, and he was done with it—he would fling It off his shoulders, be free of It, the whole business, that night. It should go like a black, hateful nightmare, and In the morning he would be a new man. And every time a thought of it as sailed him—a tender memory, a trace of a tear—he rose up cursing with rage, and pounded It down. He was fighting for his life; he gnashed his teeth together In his des peration. He had been a fool, a fool! If** ll.-i'l " HMl-.l 11 IH Ilf-. I,.' Il.fl VI. »• - 1 himself, with his accursed weakness, and how be was done with It—he would tear It out of him, root and branch! There should be no more tears and no more tenderness; he had had enough of them—they had sold him Into sla very! Now he was going to be free, to tear oft his shackles, to rise up and fight. He was glad th&t the end had | come—It had to come some time, and It waa Just as well now. This was no world for women and children, and tho sooner they got out of It the better for them. Whatever Antanas might suffer where he was, he could suffer no more than he would have had ho stayed upon earth. And mean time. his father had thought the last thought about him that he meant to; ho was going to think of himself, he was going to fight for himself, against rlslvely, and started across the coun try. Only think that he had been a coun tryman all his life, and for three long i.** hud ii** vi* i N.'.-ii .1 i mini rv Night nor heard a country sound! Excepting for that one walk when he left Jail, when ho was too much worried to notice anything, and for a few times that he had rested In the city parks In the winter time when ho was out <>f work, ho had literally never s*cn a tree! And now he felt like a bird lifted up nnd borne away upon a go I**, ho stopped and stared at each new sight of wonder—at ii herd of cowm, and a meadow full of dalNloH, at hedgo* rows set thick with June roses, at lit tle birds singing In tho trees.

The train thundored desfenlngly end s storm of dust blew In his rocs; but though It •topped now and then through the night, he clung where he was—he would cling there until he was driven off, for every mile that he got from Packlngtown meant another load from his mind.
