GAIN IN STEEL ORDERS
Unified Tonnage as Of October 81
TotaIed 6,472,668

New York, Nov. 1O.-In its monthly
statement Issued at noon today, the
United States Steel Corporation re
ports untitled orders on Its books, as of
October 81 last, of 8,4T2. .66S tons.
This compares with 6.2S4 1888 tons on
September 30 last, an increase Of 1SS, e
030 tons, and with S,353 ,2g3 tons on
October 81. 1913.
This IL the fifth consecutive month
to show an increase. The statement Of
the company did not indicate what
percentage Of the untitled tonnage had
resulted from the strike in its plants.
The October tonnage report was re-
garded as favorable considering the un
settled conditions in the steel industry.
Officials Of the corporation declined to
comment on this phase of the situation,
but 1t was estimated that the untitled
tonnage increase might have been nearer
half million tons, but for the strike.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Ralnbows End.

The journey to the coast was made
by easy stages and Esteban stood 1t
fairly well. Jacket, of course, went
along. Upon the announcement of
O'Reilly's intended departure for the
States he had promptly abandoned
Cuba to her fate. He foreswore her
utterly and declared himself loyal
American citizen.
Relying upon the best Information
obtainable at Cubitas, ORellly had
counted upon securing a sailboat from
certain fisherman whose sympathies
were known to be loyal. but in this he
was disappointed. The party arrived
Mt its destination, tiny clearing on
an unfrequented part of the north
shore, only to find 1t deserted and al
ready grown to weeds. The house was
empty, the boats were gone-all but
one old hulk, too rotten to warrant
moving, which lay high up on the sand,
Its planks worm-eaten. its seams wide
spread by the sun.
O'Reilly was In quandary. He
gravely doubted Esteban's ability to
stand the rough return journey, and
when he spoke to Norine of turning
back she was panic-stricken ut the sug-
gestion.

The Separate Vest.

The separate vest is the most impor-
tant and popular dress accessory OF
the season. 1t has made its appear
ance in innumerable fabrics, colOrs and
general styles. Primarily the separate
vest is intended for wear with the two
piece suit, but 1t is possible to wear II
with tailored or semitailored street
frock, transforming II plain dress into
one that is elaborate enough for after
noon wear. These vests may be made
with or without collars, and the choice
of fabrics covers the entire range from
filmy nets and laces to heavy. warm
angora. Separate vests of fur and imi
tation fur are also often made to ac-
company plain tailored suits, and they
may be worn either underneath or out
side the suit coat.

The French TrIcoIor.

The Tricolor. the French national
standard of blue, white and red, d.
vided vertically. originated during the
first French revolution. In 1850 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins
In the garden of the Palais Royal be-
came a rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color !;
but, remembering that green was the
color of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected 1t on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the colors of the city of Paris,
and later added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as a
badge of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
symbol of the liberty of the French
nation, and it continued as such even
when afterward the reconciliation"
with the king ended with his decapita-
ton.

man in Bengal, India, to win large
sums of money on the race course. It
turned out to be very ingenious form

produces a roll of money. and states
that he won this by his fore-knowl-

then suggests that his friend test his

Due to arrive just now are the more
or less pretentious outfits for the dew
otees of midwinter sports. Pleasure
seekers are divided into two factions :;
one of them lured by sunshine and
soft air. gay companionship and new
adventure, to the South, and the other,
strong for the North with its ice and
snow and lusty sports. In the South
fashions add their interest to every
occupation. and this element of inter
est is not lacking where the back
ground of all apparel is world COW
cred with snow and ice-bound. Since
such background calls for the sparkle
of brilliant color, we await the entry
of lot of fascinating and snappy togs
for Northern sportsmen. Just as we

small muff to the scarf and cap.
There are hand-knitted and hand-cro-

cloths are shown. one of felt and one
