ed Lothario who had triAed with
the mature affections of the wi
dow, Roselle Kruger. Mrs. Kru-
ger told how young Kust made
love to her, how their engagement
was announced, and how his ardor
then began to cool. Kust, look

widow said was true, but that he
was only fooling, and never meant
to marry her. He was held fol

has under consideration plans for

bic that the plans will be carried

believe in paying millions for de-
fence, but not Q cent for tribute
