“In Harris , a will contained the following: “‘I give and bequeath to Francis W. Walker ... the sum of $800 when he shall arrive at the age of twenty-six years. The said sum of $800 I direct to be loaned out on good real estate security and the interest accruing therefrom to be paid to the said Francis W. Walker.’ ””
