A ROMANTIC STORY UNFOLDED,

Behind a legal action begun in an American court to decide the posses- sion of a £10,000.000 estate, lies a romance in which Miss Peggy Marsh, the popular and beautiful London actress, is a central figure..
Ex-Governor Dunne, the guardian of her son Tony, claims that he is entitled to the income from a trust fund of £1,000,000, as well as to the residue of the estate of the late Henry Field, grandson of the famous Marshal Field, the multi-millionaire, and father of the by.

That Marshal Field's will provides that the income from a £1,000,000 trust fund. established by him for his grandson Henry, should be col lected by him or his issue.
Marshal Field's executors, on the other hand, contend that "issue" means legal issue. It is, however; arguable that Tony is entitled not only to the income of the trust fund, but also to the residue of Henry Field's estate, amounting to £10,000,000.
When Linterviewed Miss Marah at her flat in Hanover-square, she was extremely anxious-that people should grasp the fact that she is not making
the claim.
While waiting for her return she was out at a luncheon had noticed the many photographs of Tony, who is unquestionably, a beag tiful child and of Mr. Henry Field in the uniform of the R. N. Arthour- ed Car Corps, and a few pictures of Miss Marsh herself,

There never has been any doubt: to the question of my son Tony being the issue of Mr. Field. Mr. Dunne, the guardian appointed for him, with the consent and approval of the Field estate, is fighting the case. I have nothing to do with it." But you have hopes for Tony's success?" I asked.
