STEELPRODUCTS
SHOW INCREASE
Low Point Passes and In
crease in Orders Now
Looked For
BUYERS WANT
QUICK SHIPMENT
BY HAROLD ID. JACOBS,
u. S. staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Demand
for steel products Is increasing, al
though slowly.
Just at present the volume OF
sales appears to be governed large
~ by buyers who desire quick ship
ments But there is every indication
that last month marked the low point
in steel production and that orders
will increase from now on.
The American Iron and steel In
stitute refused to make a statement
for the United Press in contrast to
organization representatives OF other
basic industries, but its last month
~ report. reports production in
July to be at the rate Of 1900. 900
gross tons a year-about 21 per cent.
Of capacity.
Information obtained from other
sources today indicated the salt has
increased to perhaps more than 25
per cent. and is steadily growing.
The Institute report. issued at the
time Of greatest depression. showed
the United States steel Corporation
operating at about 25 pr cent. Of ca
pacity and the Independents about
is per cent.
Notable exceptions to the increas-
ed demand for steel products are rails
and tin plate. But the optimistic
view Of the railway situation taken
by the national association Of rail-
ways executives in a recent statement
TO the United Press indicated the d.
mand for rails soon may show a
healthy growth.
There has been an apparent ten
dency Of late towards stabilizatior
Of steel. Between June 1 and August
/ prices declined an average of 75
cents to 81 ton a week. Since the
latter date there has been no mark
ed decline. Coincidentally the pil

course, to tell me that he'd just had a
forwarded telegram from an old friend
Of his that would stop us off for a
day or two in Portal City, the head
quarters of the Pioneer Short Line.
Farther along, pretty well into the ice
cream and black coffee, he came to life
again to ask me If had noticed the
young lady and the girl in the Pull
man section next to ours.
/ told him had, and then, because
I had never known him to bother his
head for two minutes in succession
about any woman, he gave me a
shock; said they were ticketed to
Portal City-and to find that out he
must have asked the train conductor
adding that when we reached Portal
it would be the nelghborly thing for
me to do to help them Off with their
handbags and see that they got a cab
If they wanted one.
"Sure I will" says I. "That is. II
the lady's husband isn't there to meet
them. Her suit case has her name,
Mrs. Sheila Macrae,' on it."
The boss has way Of making two

bis eyes when he is going to reach
for you.
"There are times, Jimmie, when you
see altogether too much" he said,

'Macrae, You say: that is Scotch.
And so is 'Sheila.' Most likely the
names, both of them, are only hand
downs. She looks straight American

"She is pretty enough to look any

would take 1t.

If l had been eating anything in the

have choked me. What he said led
up to the admission that he had been
making these face-and-neck compari-
sons for goodness knows how long,
and couldn't surround that, all at
once. You see, he was such a picture

/ a question ut the two women: "Wm
you two stay here with Jimmie while
l go and see what l can find in that

They both paid me the compliment
of saying that they'd stay with me,
but the young woman suggested that
1t might be just as well If we should
all go up the gulch together SO we
piked out in the dark, the boss help
ing Mrs. Sheila to hobo along over
the cross-ties of the spur and the lit
tie girl stumbling on behind with me.
We had followed the spur track up
the gulch for maybe a short quarter
Of a mills when we came to the en-
CINE. AS we had feared it might be,
the big machine was crippled. Therd
was key gone out of one Of the con-
necting-rod crank-pin straps; one
miserable little piece Of steel, maybe
eight inches long and tapering one
way, and half an inch or so thick the
other; but that was a-plenty. We
couldn't make a move without 1t.
thought we were done for, but Mr..
Norcross chased me up into the cab
for lantern. With the light we be-
gan to hunt around In the short grass.
/ had been sensible enough to show
the little girl the other cOnnecting-rod
key, so she knew exactly what to look
for, and it did me a heap of good
when 1t turned out that she was the
one who found the lost bit of steel.
"I've got tive got it" she cried;
and sure enough she had. The hold-up
people had merely taken 1t out and
thrown it aside on the extremely prob
able chance that nobody would be
foolish enough to look for 1t so near
at hand, or, looking, would be able to
find 1t in the dark.
1t didn't take more than a minute
or two, with a wrench from the en-
gineer's box, to put the key back in
place. Then, with one to boost and
the other to pull, we got our two
passengers up into the high cab.
threw few shovel-fuls Of coal into
the firebOx and put the blower on;
and when we were all set. the boss
opened the throttle and we went care
fully noSing ahead over the old track,
feeling our way up the guleh and keep
ing sharp lookout for the Alexa as
we ground and sQuealed around the
curves.
1t must have been four or five miles
back in the hills to the place where
we found the private car, pushed In
on an old mlne-loading track at the
end of the spur. The other members
of the crew were off and waiting for
us; and standing out on the back plat
form, in the full glare of the head
light as we nosed up for coupling,
there was a big, gray-haired man,
bareheaded and dressed in rough-look-
ing old clothes like a mining pros
pector.
The big man was "Uncle John"
Chadwick and If he was properly
astonished at seeing us turn up with
his lost engine, he didn't let it inter-
fere with our welcome. Mr. Chadwick
seemed to know Mrs. Sheila; at any
rate, he shook hands with her and
called her by name. Then he grabbed
for the boss and fairly shouted at
him: "Well, well, Graham l-of all tho

OF course, as soon as the skip-out
Of the four hold-up men gave us a
free hand we knew it was up to us to
get busy and do something. It was a
safe bet that the AIexa was carrying
her owner, and in that case Mr.. John
Chadwick and his train crew were
somewhere back in the hills, without
an engine, and with a good prospect
of staying put" until somebody should

two and two, the boss walking with
the young woman. After we'd counted
a few Of the cross-ties, the girl said !:

airily, II haven't been up all night

We reached the big water tank, and
the boss picked out one of the square
footing timbers for seat 1t seemed

harder to get acquainted with his half

right from the jump. And to a man
of that sort women are usually no
more than fluffy little side-issues, as
Eve said when they told her she was
made out Of Adams rib.
That ended the dining-car part of
it. The sure-enough, knockout round
was fought at the rear end of our
Pullman, which happened to be the
last car in the train AS we walked
back after dinner Mr.. Norcross gave
me a cigar and said we'd 60 out to
the observation platform to smoke.
When we reached the door we found
the young lady and the girl standing
at the rear railing 20 watch the track
unroll itself under the trucks. The
young lady was wearing a coat with
a storm collar. but the girl had a fur

The explanations, such as they were,

the talk jumped first to the mysterious.
hold-up and kidnapping and the reason
why. There had been no violence
the pistol shots had been merely
meant to scare the trainmen-and
there had been no attempt at robbery;
for that matter. Mr.. Chadwick hadn't
even seen the kidnapers, and hads$
known what was going on until after
it was all over.

mine, but after a little the young wo-
man thawed out q bit and made him
talk--to help pass away the time, /
took lt--and the little girl and / sat
and listened. When the young woman
finally got him started, the boss told
her all about himself, how he'd been
railroading ever since he left college,
and lot of things that I'd never even
dreamed Of. It's curious how a pref
ty woman can make man turn him
SELF inside out that way, just for her
amusement.
The boss asked her If she were
warm enough, saying that if she were
not he and would scrape up some
sage-brush or something and make a
fire. She replied that she didn't care
for a fire, that the night wasn't at
all cold-which it wasn't. Then she
showed that she was human, clear
down to the tips of her pretty fingers.
You may smoke If you want to-"
she told the boss. II sha'n't mind 1t
in the least"
The boss lighted his cigar. Then
there was more talk, in which 1t
turned out that the young woman and
her cousin were to have been met at
Portal City by somebody she called
cousin BASIL" but there wouldn't be
any scare, because she had written
ahead to say that possibly they might
stop over with some friends in one of
the apple towns.
Then Mr.. Norcross said he wouldn't
miss anything by the drop-out but an
appointment he had with an old
friend, and he guessed that could wait.
l listened, thinking maybe he would
mention the name of the friend, and
after a while he did. The forwarded
Portal City telegram the boss had got
ten just before we went to dinner in
the dining-car waA, from "Unele John"
Chadwick, the Chicago wheat king,
and that left me wondering what the
mischief Mr.. Chadwick was doing
away out in the wild and woolly west
ern country where they raise more
apples than they do wheat, and more
mining stock schemes than they do
either.
We had been maroened for nearly
an hour when / struck a match and
looked at my watch. Mr.. Norcross
was doing his best to kill time for the
young woman, and he was just in the
exciting part Of railroad story, telling
about a right-of-way fight on the Mid

arm and said: Listen"
did. and broke in promptly. Eek
cuse me-" / called to the other two,
"but | think there's a train coming"
The boss cut his story short and
we all listened. 1t seemed that was
wrong. The noise we heard was more
like an auto running with the cut-out
open than a train rumbling.
"What do you make it, Jimmie?"
