Tho market for "zlttera” wa» glutted that afternoon, however, and there woe na plnce for Jurgla. In all he had to •pend six nickel! In keeping a shelter over him that frightful day, and then It was just dark, and the station house *tuld not be open until midnight! At the last place, however, there wai a bartender who knew him and liked him. and let him do*e at one of the Ujles until the boas came backi and •Ho. as he was going out, the man *sve him a tip—on the next block thtre «as a religious revival of some J°rt, with preaching and singing, and hundreds of hoboes would go there to' the shelter and warmth. Jurgis went straightway and saw a •In hung out, saying that tbp door Woald open at 7:30; then he walked, or half ran, a block, and hid a while in a doorway, and then ran again, »td so on until the hour. At the end hi was all but frozen, and fought his *'ty in with the rest of the throng (at >>e risk of having his arm broken ttaln), and got dose to the big stove. By 8 o'clock the place was so crowd- «1 that the speakers ought to have [sen flattered; the aisles were filled 'alt-M ay up. and at the door men (were jacked tight enough to walk upon. There were three elderly gentlemen in black upon the platform, and a young Indy who played the piano In front. First they sang a hymn, and then one of the three, a tall, amooth- *haven man, very thin and wearing mark spectacles, be ran an address. Jurgis heard smatterings of It, for the reason that terror kept him awake— re knew that he snored abominably, and to have been put out Just then Elegant Silver The excellence anti popu larity ofMaicr & Berkele silver is due largely to the tasteful designs and artistic patterns we carry in stock. if you want any <of the U(w things, we have theiYi. ^ e study the modes in these lilies as attentively as smart dressers study the current fashions. Maier & Berkele would havo been like a sentence of death to him. The evangelist was preaching “sin and redemption," the Infinite grace of God and His pardon for human frailty. He was very much In earnest, and he meant xvell, but Jurgla, aa he listened, found hla soul filled with hatred. What did he know about ain and suffering— with hla smooth, black coat and hla neatly starched collar, hla body warm and.hla belly tilled, and money in hla pocket—and lecturing men who were struggling for their Uvea, man at tha death-grapple with the demon powers dt hunger and cold! This, of course, was unfair; but Jurgla felt that these men were out of touch with the life they discussed; that they were unfitted to solve Its problems; nay, they them selves were part of the problem—they were part of the order established that was crushing men down and beating them! They were of the triumphant and Insolent possessors; they had a hall, and a Are, and food and clothing and money, and so they might preach to hungry men, and the hungry men must be humble and listen! They were trying to save their souls—and who but a fool could fall to see that all that was the matter with their souls i that they had not been able to get a decent existence for their bodies? At 11 the meeting closed, and the desolate audience tiled out Into the snow, muttering curses upon the few traitors who had got repentance and gone upon the platform. It was yet art hour before the station house would open, and Jurgis had no overcoat and was weak from a long Illness. During that hour he nearly perished. He was obliged to run hard to kMp his blood moving at all, and then he came back to the station house and found a crowd blocking the street before the door! This was in the month of January, 1904, when the country was on the verge of "bard times,” and the news papers were reporting the shutting down of factories every day. It was estimated that a million and a half of men were thrown out.of work before the spring. So all the hiding places of the city were crowded, and before the station house door men fought and tore each other like savage beasts. When at last the place was Jammed and they shut the doors half the crowd was still outside; and Jurgis, with hts helpless arm, was among them. There was no choice then but to go to a lodg- Inc house and spend another dime. It really broke hla heart to do this, at half-past 12 o'clock, after he had wast ed the night at the meeting and on the mtrwet. He would be turned out of the lodging house promptly at 7— they had the shelves which served aa bunks so contrived that they could b# dropped, and any man who was alow about obeying orders could be tumbled to the floor. . . __ „ This was one day, and the cold spell lasted for fourteen of them. At the end of six days every cent of Jurgis* money was gone; and then he went out SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS The story of "The Jungle,” Upton Rlnclalds novel, which caused tha government Investigation Into the methods employed by the Beef Trust, has Us origin In an actual Packlngtown romance.

He wrfuld sally forth from a saloon, and, after making sure there was no policeman In' sight, would approach every llkt- ly-looklng person who passed him, telling his woeful ‘story and pleading for a nickel or a dime. Then, when he got one, he would dart round the corner and return to his base to get worm; and his victim, seeing him do this, would go sway, vowing that he would never give a cent to a beggar agalp. Tha victim never paused to aak where else Jurgis could have gone under the circumstances—where he, the victim. Id have gone. At the saloon Jurgis could not only get more food and bet ter food than he could buy In any res taurant for the same money, but a drink In the bargain to warm hloi up. Also he cbould And a comfortable seat by a Are, and could chat with a com panion until he waa as warm as toast. At the saloon, too, he felt at home. Part of the saloon keeper’s business was to offer a heme and refreshments to beggars In exchange for tha proceeds of their foragings; and was there any one else In the whole city who would do this—would the victim have done It hlmaelt? Poor Jurgis might have been expect ed to make a 'successful beggar. He was Just out of the hospital, and des perately slck-Iooking, and with a help less arm; also he had no overcoat, and shivered pitifully. But, alas, It was again the rase of the honest merchant, who Ands that the genuine and un adulterated article Is driven to the wall by the artistic counterfeit. Jurgis, as a beggar, was simply a blundering amateur In competition with organized and adentldc professionalism. He was Just out of the hospital—but the story was worn threadbare, and how could he prove It? Hs had his arm In a sling—and It was a devlca a regular beggar's little boy would have scorned. He was pale and shivering—but they were made up with cosmetics, and had studied the art of chattering their teeth. As to his being without an overcoat, among them you would meet men you could swear had on nothing but a ragged linen duster and a pair of cotton trousers—so cleverly _had they con cealed the several suits of all-wool un derwear beneath. Many of these pro fessional mendicants had comfortable homes, and families, and thousands of dollars In the bank; some of them had retired upon their earnings, and gone Into the business of Attlng out and doctoring others, or working children at the trade. There were some who had both their arms bound tightly to their sides, and padded stumps In their sleeves, and a sick child hired to carry a cup for them. There were some who had no legs, and pushed themselves upon a wheeled platform- some who had been favored with blind ness, and were led by pretty little dogs. CHAPTER XXIV. In the face of all hts handicap*, Jurgis was obliged to make tha price of a lodging and of a drink every hour or two, under penalty of freezing to death. Day after day ha roamed about In the arctic cold, bis soul Ailed full of bltternsss and despair. He saw the world of civilisation then more plainly than ever he had seen It be fore; a world In which nothing count ed but brutal might, an order devised by those who possessed It for tb# subjugation of those who did not. Hs was one of the latter; and all out doors, all life, waa to him one colossal prison, which he paced like a pent-up tiger, trying one bar after another, and Andlng them all beyond hla power. He had lost In the Aeroe battle of greed, and so was doomed to be extermi nated; and all society wss busied to see hs did not escape tha sentence. Everywhere that he turned wer» pris on bars, snd hostile eyes following him; the well-fed, sleek policemen, from whose glances he shrank, end who seemed to grip their .clubs more tightly when they saw him; the saloon keepers, who rtkvsr esaaed to watch him while he was In their places, who were Jealous of every moment he lin gered after he hsd paid his monsy; ths hurrying throngs upon the street, who were deaf to his entreaties, obliv ious of his very existence—and sav age and contemptuous when he forced himself upon them. They hsd their own affairs, and there was no pises for him among them. Thera was no place for him anywhere —every direction he turned his gaze, this fact was forced upon him. • Every thing was built to express It to him; the residences, with their heavy walls and bolted doors, and basement win dows barred with Iron; the great ware houses, Ailed with ths products of ths whole world, snd guarded by Iron shut ters and heavy gates; ths banks with their unthinkable billions of wealth, all buried in safes snd vaults of steeL And then one day there befell Jur gla ths on# adventure of his Ilfs. It wss late at night, and he had failed to get the price of n lodging. Hnow woh fulling, nnd he had been nut BO long that he was covered with It, snd was chilled to the bone. He was working among the theater crowds, At tlng here and there, taking large chances with tile police, In bis des peration half hoping to bs arrrattd. when he saw a blue cost start toward him, however, hla heart fulled him. nnd he dashed down s side street and Ant a couple of blocks. When he stopped again he saw a man coming toward him, and placed himself In his path. "Please, sir,” he hegnn, In the usual formula, "will you please give me the prim of lodging? l‘ve hud an arm broken and I can’t work, and I’ve not a rent In my pocket. I'm an honest workingman, sir, and I never begged before. It's not my fault, air”— Jurgla usually went on until he was Interrupted, but this man did not In terrupt, and so at last ha rams to a breathless stop. Ths other had haltsd, and Jurgis suddenly noticed that he stood a little unsteady. "Whuxxst you say?" he queried suddenly, In a thick voice. • Jurgis began again, speaking more slowly snd distinctly; before he wss half through ths other put out his hand snd rested It upon hla shoulder. "Poor old chappie!" he said. "Been up—hlc— up—against It, hey?” Then he lurched toward Jurgis snd the hand upon his shoulder became an arm about his neck. "Up against It myself, ole sport," he said. "She's a hard ole world." They were dose to a lamp post, and Jurgis got a glimpse of the other. He wss a young fellow—not much over eighteen, with a handsome boyish fare. He wore a silk hat and a rich soft over coat with a fur collar, and hs smiled, at Jurgis with benignant sympathy. "I'm hard up, too, my goo' fren’," he said. "I’ve got cruel parents, or I'd set you up. Whusza matter whlsyer?” •'I’ve been In the hospital.” "Hospital!” exclaimed ths young fellow, still smiling sweetly, “thass too bad! Same’s my Aunt Polly—hlc— my Aunt Polly's In tha hoapltal, too. Whuizamalter whiz you?" ’T've got a broken atn^’—Jurgla be- * “Bo," said the other, sympathetically.
