It was wartime when the Fisks found out they were going to have a baby. Harry Fisk was called to duty - a call he accepted bravely. He did not leave, however, until he had made out a will.
He determined that the money in a savings account - $14,000 - was to be divided between his wife and his child-to-be. If the child were a boy, his wife was to give him twice the amount of her portion. If the child were a girl, the mother would get tiwce the amount the girl was to receive.
We can't begin to understand what was going on in Mr. Fisk's mind to leave such a will. And we never will find out because, as fate would have ti, Mr. Fisk did not return. Mrs. Fisk gave birth to fraternal twins. You guess it - she had a boy and a girl!
How was the money divided?
