LOW STEEL PRICE ASKED

The first reaction of steel buy
ers to the NRA decision of the
United States Supreme Court was
to ask for "real" or inside" prices,
the magazine Steel reports. Some
buyers offered to place orders at
lower figures. A tempting" ton
mage of steel sheets was offered to
Pittsburgh interest.
At present there is a virtual
deadlock between producers and
consumers, the periodical con-
tinues. The former are standing
firm; the strategy of the latter is
to wait.
Specifically iron and steel
markets we're little affected by
the decision. Prices, which we're
uncontrolled for the first week
since August 10, 1888, seemed as
steady as at any time since the
codes were adopted.
Producers and consumers were
both "keenly alert" to the possible
results of the ending of restraint

WORKERS WAIT.
ORDER To VIEW
SHRINE SHOW
By J. EARLE MOSER

Hopes of Government personnel
for a few hours off Tuesday morn

parade are thus far unfulfilled,
the various departments and

Department was the sole Federal
agency to indicate today a pos
sible release order, officials saying
that they haven't decided def
nitely but will probably excuse
workers during the period OF the
parade.

doubtful because of the crush OF

Following conference yesterday
between William D. Bergman,
chief clerk of the Navy Depart
ment, and E. Claude Babcock,
president of the A. F.. G. E., 1t was
revealed that an appropriation OF
5000, 900 will be allotted to carry
the cost of the classification.
Babcock has been urging the move
since last December.
The ban on administrative ap-
propriations will not apply to Dis
trict government workers under
the new District appropriations
bill. The more than 5000 District
workers will be able to receive pro
motions when such are timely
rather than waiting until a saving
in annual appropriations can be
shown.

another, the end should come.
Then again his eyes fell to
the slender figure of Nora. If
only-impatiently he shrugged
and raised his reinS.
At the turn beneath the girl
looked back and waved for the
last time, and Dick raised his
own hand high in answer, then
silently made his solitary way
back among the pines.
But down there, far beneath
the girl and just below the first
gentle rise of foothills, Nicholas
Sari and Capt. Pat O'Hearn
looked dubiously about them.
Two nights and a long, fruitless
day had brought them not even
an inkling OF the course their
quarry had taken.
There's no doubt in my
mind" Sari broke out at last.
Hes made for the foothills.
The desert offers nothing,
either on this side of the line or
Mexico. I had a plane comb it
over all yesterday, and I've al
ready got men ahead of him in
case he goes up Copper Can

But if he should" the cap.
tain objected, my Jurisdiction
ends at the border. I can't
hunt this man on Mexican
soil"
On the Trail
when you get him, Captain,
1t won't be on Mexican soil. It
will be back here" Sari waved
long fingers towards the forest
above. HE knows that coun-
try-every foot Of it-and he'll
probably hang around hoping
to get in touch with some of
his friends"
O'Hearn's eyes were family
annoyed. That means the
whole countryside, doesn't it?"
1T don't mean my men by a
whole lot. If the gang I'm
putting on his trail together
with your soldiers don't run
him down within three days it
will be a disgrace to US both"
Then with his ready smile he
looked iptently into the others
eyes. Il can do a lot to help
you if we catch this chap, Cap
tain. I'll see to that"
Again Sari'S field glasses
swept the green slopes Of the
foothills. IF it's in any wav
possible, Lowe1l's friends will
soon establish an underground
communication with him, and
Barnes, with his damned news.
paper, will try to stir up all the
sympathy he can. So it's well
that we move quickly" Again
he smiled as at a happy after
thought. "You know, there's
one way, Captain, we might
learn something's"
"How?"
Sari hesitated, then plunged.
Through Barnes sister. I've
heard that you and she are
great friends. She's bound to
learn something about Lowell
within the next few days, and
it's just possible that you"
He stopped. An unmistakable
gleam Of anger in the captains
eyes and a slow flush mount
ing to his face warned Sari lust
in time, but it was only with an
effort that O'Hearn kept his
voice from rasping as he an.

yet too early for signs of activ-
ity at the dam, and in the
slanting rays Of the rising sun
not a single horse, not a sign
Of life was visible throughout
the breadth of the desert.
Faced with this moment Of
parting. they sat their horses
In silence, resolutely driving
back the unwelcome thought
that before them both lay
time of dread uncertainty and
Tor him a time of deadly peril.
At last she looked up. "I1l-
come again, Dickson. It's
safer for me to come than for
Will or Stub"
Keen Longing
But Dick shook his head.
IT'S not safe for any of you,
Better wait. and some night
I'll ride down to the ranch"
But even as he spoke Dick
knew she was not to be dis
suaded, and in his heart he
knew he did not want to dis
suade her. Sober judgment
warned him that she herself
might become involved, might
be made to suffer, and he knew
only too cleverly how Sari would
rejoice to gain any hold over this
girl, the sister of his enemy.
Still Dick hesitated. For the
thought Of seeing her again, Of
being with her, if only for a lit
tile while, the desire to learn
what was taking place down
there in that world from which
he had been so completely sew
cred, overweighed all those die
tateS of prudence, and at last
he only said, Better not, Nora"
She shrugged. But it's per-
fectly safe. I'll wait until it is
safe. What can they do to me?
The only thing is not to endan.

you'll be out of smokes by then,

proving. I can leave the ranch
before dawn some day and meet
you. And 1 may have news be-
fore long"
Then, suddenly serious, she
added, "Dick, promise me you'll
stay up here and out of sight
until then. No more raids on
Sari'S stable and no more gam
bling with fate until see you.
Promise?"
Separation
He looked down at her hun
grily, and behind the long, level
gaze she might have read a
message that he forbade his lips
to speak. 1t may be she did read
that message, for her own eyes
Softened and the fingers on his
sleeve frightened for brief mo-
ment. Then she turned away.
Good luck" she called softly
back, and rode forward into the
bright morning.
He watched her slowly de-
scending on his mare, and his
eyes scanning again that great
expanSe Of sand and chaparral,
found nothing there to disturb
him. All the world seemed at
peace on that glittering late
winter morning. Yet Dick knew
that down there, somewhere
among the foothills, men were
camped and already stirring, well
coming another day of the mer-
cileSs hunt in which he played
the part of quarry, and he knew
that the hunt would persist,
