She Was Unintelligible to the
Last
By EMMA MOREHOUSE
Copyright by American Press Asso
ciation 1011
Miss Marcia Egcrtou was a peculiar
girl She seldom did anything as any
one else would do it and was always
doing things in a way that no one else
would think of doing them It is the
purpose of this story to chronicle th j
roundabout way she acted in a mat
ter that concerned herself and several
other people
In the Orst place Miss Egerton
who was an orphan inherited a large
estate and came into possession of
it when she was eighteen years old
The next most important thing about
her was an intimate friend Before
her mothers death when she was but
twelve years old she had conceived a
violent affection for Agnes Hart who
was badly named because she was not
possessed of a heart at all Marcias
mother opposed the intimacy and when
her daughter was sixteen years old
sent her off to school with no other
purpose than to get her away from
but without avail The two
girls kept up an almost daily corre
spondence during the whole period of
their separation and on Marcias re-
f turn were more intimate than before
Mrs Egerton died when Marcia was
twenty leaving her daughter her own
mistress and in possesison of a large
property She took her friend Agnes
to live with her and lavished upon her
everything a girl could desire Several
young men each of whom would have
liked to win Marcia either for herself
or her fortune declared that they were
unable to separate her long enough
from her girl friend to do so And it
was facetiously remarked that any one
who married Miss Egerton must have
two wives
Marcia became interested in a young
man Edwin Bond who found more
opportunity to court than he availed
himself of He admired Marcia but
having no fortune himself he objected
to being tied to a woman who possess
ed one He was one of those young
men who feel the zest of making a
place for themselves in the world and
knew that to do this he must be forced
on by a powerful stimulus for the
man who marries a fortune is provid
ed for and he pays the price which is

TWO PEBSONS ENTERED
in nine cases in ten constantly be
ing reminded that his wife holds the
purse strings and money is power
Marcia not making any headway
with Edwin Bond chose another lover
Cecil Baxter Mr Baxter was a fre
quent visitor at her house and divided
his attentions between the two girls
His inclinations drew him rather to
ward Agnes than Marcia but since
Marcia possessed a fortune and Agnes
was poor he accepted the encourage
ment of the former and proposed to
her and was accepted
When a certain scheme of Marcia
Egertons was whispered about all
who heard it wondered at her infatua
tion for her bosom friend On the
ground that she did not feel that she
would live long she made a will leav
ing half her estate to a charitable in
stitution to be named for and in mem
ory of her mother The other half
she divided between her lover and her
bosom friend
Those who were observant noticed
that Baxters inclinations were rather
toward his fiancees friend than his
fiancee They also noticed that the
friend except when the fiancee was
present did not show any disposition
to compel Mr Baxter to reserve his
especial attention for his betrothed
These people said What a pity that
Marcia should not take herself off to
heaven leaving the poor their share of
her estate and the lovers the rest of
it And yet there were others who
claimed that no matter what happens
out of usual and conventional lines
tongues will wag that these three
young people understood one another
thoroughly and that was all there was
about it All agreed that the bequest
was very lovely in Marcia who was
just the kind of girl to look out for the
happiness of others and was as simple
minded as a child
Meanwhile Marcia Egerton seemed
to be slowly failing Her physician
advised her to visit other lands Since
she couldnt very well go alone it was
suggested that she be married and
travel with a man But she replied
that she did not propose to throw any
such obloquy upon a husband as mak
ing a courier of him Then It was
XJfE
nnm that she would tKe her
giu ih her At tai- ewry one
said i i t is exactly whi s to
have been expected The society of
the btxom friend is necessary that of
the fiance is not
The two friends one day in January
sailed on a Mediterranean steamer for
Egypt- That is the last any one in
America heard from them for several
months then one day Agnes returned
saying that she had left Marcia start
ing for a trip through the Holy Laud
She reported her friend very much im
proved in health and not at all averse
to traveling alone Agnes was tired
of traveling and preferred to go home
As soon as Marcia learned this which
Agnes said she had tried to keep a
secret Marcia would not hear of her
remaining abroad any longer Agnes
after refusing for a long while to re
turn had been literally compelled to
do so by Marcia
Since Agnes and Baxter were seen
together a great deal after her return
critical persons said that Agnes had
come home purposely to monopolize
him The case excited more talk than
any social happening that had been
discussed In the place for years Every
one wondered that Marcia Egerton
should be so blind By some she was
blamed for offering inducement for
crime Here were two lovers between
whom she stood and who might be
tempted to put her out of the way that
they might be united each with con
siderable means into possession of
which they would come at her death
Then came a report that an Ameri
can lady traveling in the Holy Land
had been robbed and murdered The
report was confirmed and the ladys
name was given as Marcia Egerton
She had gone off on an excursion to a
lonely place with a single guide where
there was something curious to see
and he had returned to report that
they had been set upon by thugs the
lady murdered and her money includ
ing travelers checks taken He said
that he had buried the body at the
place of the murder
Baxter cabled and wrote to United
States consuls nearest the scene of the
tragedy asking for information Noth
ing was adduced except the statement
of Miss Egertons guide which was
taken down in writing and sworn to
After waiting six months for the girl
to turn up nothing having been heard
from her the will was admitted to
I probate
The evidence of the testators death
being deficient the case dragged Cer
tain relatives who had hoped to bene
fit by the will opposed a settlement of
the estate under the plea that there
was not sufficient evidence that Miss
Egerton was dead It was six months
after the reported death that the chan
cery court agreed to pay over to bene
ficiaries the three parts into which the
estate was divided by the will
About this time the announcement
was made of the engagement of Cecil
Baxter and Agnes Hart A statement
went forth that Marcia Egerton had
had a presentiment that she would be
summarily cut off and had requested
in 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 had been watching Mr Bax
ter and Miss Hart They averred that
though they might state truly Miss Eg
ertons 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 her
who was to have been the bride
Baxter and Miss Hart were finally
able to count on a date when their 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 they attended to
the memory of the noble girl who had
left each of them a comfortable for
tune The plan was laid but the order
for the work was not to be givenuntil
their property had been turned over to
them For a wedding trip they were
to go to the Holy Land to gather infor
mation of the woman they loved and
if possible bring the body home for
burial
One day they received a notice from
their attorney that the papers in the
case of their inheritance would be ex
ecuted the next morning at 11 oclock
They were all packed to go away as
soon as the marriage ceremony had
been performed the day after coming
Into possession of their property All
other matters including the order for
the memorial window had received at
tention
On the appointed morning they call
ed on their lawyer and were taken by
him to the office where the transfer
was to be made While they were sit
ting there two persons entered one of
whom especially they had not expected
to see They were Edwin Bond and
Marcia Egerton now Mrs Bond
There is no record of what was
said between the testator who had re
turned to life and her expected heirs
All that is known about the sequel to
the meeting is that Mr Baxter and
Miss Hart were never married As to
the memorial window it was not re
quired
Many blamed Mrs Bond for hei bc
tlon in deceiving her two friends es
pecially for going abroad and hiring
a native to report her murdered How
she made it up with Bond she never
told but It was known that he went
abroad while she was there and they
were married there
It has been said at the beginning of
this story that Miss Egerton was a pe
culiar girl What she meant by her
performance at what point she dis
covered the truth about Baxter and
Agnes she never told any one She
certainly went far out of her way to
punish them and punished them very
severely Whether they received more
than they deserved is a question
