three hundred dollars, and Harper went on it himself; he
did not tell this to Jurgis, however -- nor did he tell him
that when the time for trial came it would be an easy
matter for him to avoid the forfeiting of the bail, and
pocket the three hundred dollars as his reward for the risk
of offending Mike Scully! All that he told Jurgis was that
he was now free, and that the best thing he could do was
to clear out as quickly as possible; and so Jurgis, over-
whelmed with gratitude and relief, took the dollar and
fourteen cents that was left him out of all his bank
account, and put it with the two dollars and a quarter
that was left from his last night's celebration, and boarded
a street-car and got off at the other end of Chicago.
