It waa alt mouths after the reported death that the rhan cerr court agreed to liar over to U-ue- fldartee the three parts Into wbk-b the estate was divided by the will. About thlt time the announcement was made of the engagement of Ce-il Baxter and Agnes Hart. A statement fr-weut forth that Marcia Egerton bad had a presentiment that she would be summarily cut off and had requested tn the event of her being so that the lover was to marry her friend. With angelic unselfishness she had provided In her will for their comfort. This satisfied every one except certain per sons who hsd been watching Mr. Bax ter and' Miss Hart. Tbey averred that though they might state truly Mlsa Eg erton'a part of the' transaction It left much to be explained on the part of the two who were about to be mar ried and Inherit a fortune from ber who was to have been the bride. Baxter and Miss Hart were finally able to count on a dale when tbetr In heritance would be paid over to them. and they arranged to be married the day after receiving It. They agreed that they would place a stained glass window in the church tbey attended to the memory of the noble girt who had left each of them . a comfortable for tune. The plan waa laid, but the order for the work was not to be glren until their property bad been turned over to them. For a wedding trip tbey were to go to the Holy Land to gather In for- nation of the woman they loved and. If possible, bring the body home for burial. One dsy tbey received a notice from their attorney that the papers In th case of their Inheritance would be ex ecuted the next morning at 11 o'clock. ney were an packed to go away as soon as the marriage ceremony bad been performed the day after coming Into posjiesdlon of their property. All other matters. Including the order for the memorial window, bad received at tention. On the appointed morning they call ed on their lawyer and were taken by him to the office where tbe transfer was to be made. While they were sit ring there two persons entered, on of whom especially they had not expected to see. They were Edwin Bond and Marda Egerton, now Mrs. Bond. mere is no record or what waa said between the testator, who bad re turned to life, and ber expected heirs. All that Is known about tbe sequel to the meeting Is that Mr. Baxter and Miss Hart were never married. Aa to the memorial window. It was not re quired. Msny blamed Mr. Bond for her ac tion In deceiving her two frlenda. pedally for going abroad and hiring native to report her murdered.
