strange case OF Mrs. Dollie Ledger
wood Matters must exercise the
Judgment Of Solomon, just as the
ancient king was called upon to sit
in judgment centuries ago.
This jury must say whether the
little Matters baby" Is indeed the
child OF Dollie Matters, widow of a
movie magnate, as she swears, or
the offspring OF Jessie Bryan" a
Canadian girl. who just as positive
ly swears the baby is her own.
Jessie Bryan" Is just name
chosen for the beautiful girl-mother
who is fighting to regain what she
declares Is her baby-the offspring
of the romance OF her life. The
court agreed to withhold her right
name to protect her.
Opposed to her Is Mrs. Dollie
Matters, who claims the baby and
for whom she demands a portion
OF the great estate left by Fred
Matters.
Frederick Matters was SO. lived
with his young wife In Arcola. Ill.
When he died he left an estate
Of 100000. a portion OF which he
left to his widow.
Soon after Mrs. Matters returned
to Illinois from Canada, bringing
an infant with her. She declared
the baby her own and that Fred
Matters was the baby's father, &C
cording TO testimony.
And with this claim she went
into court TO demand the major
share OF her dead husbands estate
for the baby.
Relatives OF Matters started an
investigation into the alleged birth
OF the child in Ottawa. Can.
This brought Jessie Bryan" into

TO the other side, and he was just
in time to see Winsome Bluebird

For a long time Peter sat star

foolish looking rabbit that ever was.
Winsome and Mrs. Winsome kept
going and coming as they fed the
hungry little mouths inside that old

for gossip. But as he flew over
Peters head there was a twinkle In
Winsome Bluebird's eyes. Peters
face was funny to see. He was re-

W1nsome sitting on that very post
and how once he had seen Mrs.
Winsome fly there and then how
mysteriously she had disappeared
