Mamma Osborne would wonder whether
Papa Osborne was turning the heart OF her
child away from her. and papa next month
would wonder the same thing. And was
her career being properly looked after by
the other when the other didn't have her?
1t was a case for Solomon, but not one for
the children's court decision that helped
make Solomon famous. One wonders what
would have happened. IL there had been
motion pictures in Palestine in those days
and the contested baby had been earning
1000 shekels or talent or two every
seven days!
The troubles between the Osbornes be
came so acute that they began to get into
the police records and the courts. One
night during a month when Osborne had
Baby Marie Mrs. Osborne went to the Hotel
Virginia at Long Beach to try to see Marie.
She succeeded and tried to take the child
away with her. There was tremendous
row, and both the Osbornes we're arrested
on a charge Of disturbing the peace, but
that was afterward dismissed. Mrs. Os-
borne was arrested once on love nest
charge, but she was acquitted and she de-
nounced 1t as "frame-up" against her.
At last Osborne sued for a divorce on
the ground OF cruelty. He set forth in his
complaint that his wife's disposition to
firt caused him extreme mental anguish!
Mrs. Osborne promptly entered denial
and filed a cross-complaint, charging her
husband with cruelty.
At once the main issue was Joined in
the effort OF each parent to secure custody
and guardianship Of the child star, Baby
Marie, now become a long-legged though
charming little girl Of eight-and still earn
ing her $1,000 weekly.
The case proceeded through many
phases. The mother got temporary Gus

tot with brown eyes, did not figure In the
public interest. She was not much men,
toned by the attorneys and the reporters

not everybody asking, (Which OF the Os-
bornes will get Baby Marie7"
And, Of course, her 81 900 week!
Mrs. Osborne had alleged In her COM
plant that her husband had become alto
gether too fond OF both drink and gay COM
panions, but she did not name any woman
as correspondent. She did, however, name
an actress as being seen so much In her
husbands company that this association
brought pain and humiliation to her as his
actual wife.

leaped into instant popularity. Her blond
sunniness charmed the little ones and the
grown-ups alike. And when the contracts
that elevated the baby into the peerage Of
motion picture stars were signed her proud
papa and mamma forgot forever that they
had wished she was a boy

Osborne and no more work for Papa o.

payne and cake. The baby was working
for the family. and 1t was work that
brought in anywhere from $500 to 81, 800 a
week-say an average of $1,000 all the
year round.
The Osbornes moved from their fiat into
a fine house in Long Beach, a suburb OF
Los Angeles. They had money to burn
Baby Marie was making it-and the testi
mony at the divorce showed that they
burned it, their actor and actress friends
helping them with whole-souled devotion
There began to arise between the two
parents many differences of opinion. How
much ought Mamma osborne have Of the
money and how much Papa? What ought
Baby Marie do next by way of earning
larger stipends and increasing her fame?
Papa Osborne, as the father, insisted upon
having his way in the baby's management
Baby Marie began to appear in two-reel
plays, which was his conception Of the best
thing for her to do-a tworeeler taking
up only one-third Of the time OF a six
reeler and bringing in almost as much
money. This nearly broke the less COM
mercial heart of the mother, because she
regarded this splitting Of talent into thirds
a retrogression in her child's career.
They moved again into finer house In
Glendale, but matters were growing worse
and worse. Mamma Osborne thought that
Papa Osborne was burning altogether too
much Of his daughters earnings with
actress friends, and Papa thought that
Mamma was burning too much OF the
Sunshine" income In company with
actors.
Both wanted to split, but there was that
powerful link OF their baby between them.
Many a wreck has been STAYED off by that
childish anchor on the tossing matrimonial
bark. And this anchor was of pure gold,
convertible into coin OF the realm. reg.
ular golden goose sort OF an anchor.
Neither parent could bear to let the other
have Baby Marie.
The matter was further complicated by
the fact that another little girl had been
born-little Gloria-who might conceivably
duplicate her sisters gratifying success.
At last an arrangement was made where

showing as to his wife's alleged tendency
TO filtration His defense against the
woman charge was that in the stage and
motion picture world conventions were
loosened and he could not be expected to
behave as a man in some other profession.
As to the charge of excessive drinking,
reputable witnesses testified to his sobriety.
The custody of Baby Marie still hung
sQuarely in the balance when another ele-
ment entered. 1t came to the knowledge
of Mrs. Osborne's attorneys that in raid
on Long Beach hotel some months prior
to this time two Long Beach city detec-
tives had found Osborne and the actress
together, but had not arrested them
Promptly those detectives were brought
into court as witnesses for Mrs. Osborne.
They told of gaining admission TO an I'M

the lights were turned on certain motion

The actress testified that she was Ill
that night and that Osborne had come into
her room to ask If he should call a doctor
or get her some medicine. She denied the
pink nightrobe and declared she was lying
on the bed fully dressed except for an
outer waist. She said she had on pink

young and pleasure-loving wife, neglected
and thrown upon her own resources for

Papa Osborne would not have had money

Soul DEVELOPMENT.

There can be no permanent success
in the world of art without deep soul
development. One goes to concert
not so much to be thrilled or startled
but to be soothed. An artist may strike
a phenomenal or unusual note which
may give a momentary thrill, but
which when heard once or twice no
longer interests, If that is all the artist
has to contribute to his art. Where,
however. there is spiritual and ethical
development behind that singing, the
art carries new message. II sing

ring was composed of about seven
men, three of them thoroughly versed
In navigation and particularly ac-
quainted with sound waters. Trips

made entirely under the cover of dark

Each sack was tied to small cord
and lowered to the bottom of the hay,
the cords being tied together on an
iron bar and the bar placed under
shallow water near the shore. The
sacks containing the whisky seized by
the dry squad were still wringing wet
when found, while a maze of cords
was discovered near the waters edge
where they had been discarded.
The path up the side of the cliff
showed that the place had been used
for some time, apparently for the pur-
pose of bringing up whisky.

he has learned a perfectly good way

PlFFLE FOR CALLOW YOUTH
Advice Handed Out by Successful

A successful lumber merchant has

a few of the mental wrinkles that in

Here are some of them:
IF your initials spell a word II
means you will be rich.
IF, on the other hand, you mend a
garment while wearing it, you will al
ways be poor.
IF your right hand itches 1t is a
sign that you will receive money. If
your left hand itches you will spend

stands for let go.
when you see a shooting star you
should say money AS many times
as you are able to say the word du-

BROUGHT FROM VANCOUVER
Arrests In Seattle Cause Breakup
of Big Ring-Trips Between Seat
tie and Vancouver Were Made
Under Cover of Darkness.

Seattle, Wash.-Watery depths of
Elliott bay formed the hiding place in
which liquor smuggling ring cached
wholesale quantities of Canadian whis-
ky brought by boat from Vancouver
prior to the arrest of four of its MEM
bers, according to disclosures made
by Lieut.. E. G. Collier, head of the
police dry squad, says recent issue
of the Seattle ost-Intelligencer.
Lieutenant Collier made public the
information regarding the ring follow
ing the sentencing of two of its MEM
bers in federal court and the failure
OF the launch operated by the gang to
arrive at its customary place in keep
ing with the schedule planned pre-
vious to the arrest of the four MEM
bers of the ring.
Gus Hanson, licensed mariner, and
John Morris, deck hand, were sem
fenced to serve 30 days in the county
Jail and pay fine of 5000 by Judge
Jeremiah Neterer when they pleaded
guilty to transporting liquor. The
charges against them were the first in
this district to be filed directly under
the authority of the new federal pro-
hibitiOn law. Bert Jackson and John
Olson, laborers, were arrested at the
same time Hanson and Morris were
taken and are still held in the city
Jail.
The arrest of the quartette took
place at the base of a 200-foot cliff on
Magnolia bluff while the men were
taking the last $50 quarts of Cana
