Mona looked up suddenly with her

men about town.
Mary was to remain in the back
ground for the present, but there was
every indication that when she was
needed in the little drama of Mona S
planning her role would be no small
one.
There was a definite reason behind
the dinner appointment Of Mona and
Carson. The Metropolitan Cafe was
one of the establishments most patron
ICED by Slatern. and where his appear
ance was the signal for every unoc-
cupied waiter in the house to quicken
into activity. Carson led the way
through the glaringly lighted door

at the character OF his surroundings,

Slatern and his companion were ush-

their menu so that they could retain

Carson. however. continued their meal
as though unconscious OF the scrutiny.
When Slatern and his companion nnaI-

were just behind them.
The two couples reached the walk

Carson took a step toward her, and

that the other was looking over his

st. Louis Mo. - Honestly now

Or dig $4,000 just to have your

These are prices and charges they

Tom Randolph, chairman of the
board National Bank of Commerce. is
authority for the statement that these
prices really do exist, the informa-
ton having been sent him in a letter
just received from a friend in Browns
Vile. Texas.

GERMAN SOLDIER
WITH ALLIES
Deserted Teutons and French
to Fight With Bel
gians

London, Ju -The record OF
Max Kohler, a clever and crafty Ger
man. aged 26, who made brief ap-
pearance at Marlborough Street police
court, London, is interesting. His re-
cord follows:
Served in the German army and de-
serted.
Served in the French army and de-
serted.
Joined the Belgian army.
Married a French girl in Paris two
years ago.
Married an English girl six months
ago.
Was being taken from England to
France as a deserter in the Sussex
when she was torpedoed.
Was rescued and taken to Folkes-
stone, where he escaped rearrest and
came to London.
Worked in the West End and was
again arrested, when he admitted that
he was a German.
Kohler speaks English, French and
German duently.
At the age of 20 Kohler was called
up for service in the German army,
but after a few weeks service, he de-
serted from the army and, made his
way to England, and then to America.
He served in a weird variety of occu-
pations He is an electrician by pro-
fession, but he has been sailor, a
mechanic. a waiter, a pantryman, a
filter and an associate of criminals.
From America he went to France
and for some time lived in Paris,
where he was captivated by crime.
Bonnot, the famous motorcar bandit,
was one of his friends. A few months
before war broke out he married a
French army at the outbreak of war
sent to the front. On the very first
day he was in action-August 22.
1914-he was reported to be missing
and later it was found that he had de-
serted and had been taken by the Ger
mans at Charleroi. He told them he
was a German and persuaded them to
allow him to make his way through
Belgium to Holland.
He then saw q chance of coming to
England. He posed as a Belgian ref
ugee and as such was admitted. He
visited several towns in England and
Scotland, where he obtained employ
ment in a wel1-known munition works
That was In the early part of 1915.
In Newcastle he made the acquaint-
ance of the daughter of the foreman
of one of the departments in the mCni-
tion works. proposed to her. was ac-
cepted, and they were married about
six months ago.

lives near Cape Girardeau, saved three
of his best Spring chickens the other
night. Mr.. Haas was motoring home
