had known Jenny Anderson since
she was a tiny thing, but she had not
confided in me the strange terms Of
her grandfather's will until she came
into my Office to ask me to defend
the suit that Cousin Francis was
bringing against her.
Jenny handed me the document.
The essential clause ran as follows:
Twenty thousand dollars to my
granddaughter, Jenny, on condition
that she marries before the fifth an
niveTsaTy of her birthday.
The will was drawn in 1911, and
five years and a little more had
elapsed. Jenny, having been born on
Feb. 20, 1896, it was clear that the
income had been forfeited.
But Cousin Francis promised me
he would not take the money if l
married or not" said Jenny.

as she went out.
It looked to me that Cousin Francis
had clinched his $4,000. Even if a
court could have been gotten to view
faVOrably Jenny's contention of her
four-years birthday, still she had
had five birthdays already, and no
court could possibly interpret the will
as meaning five birthdays after the

considerable study are interested ne
