In his eleventh yvolume he preâ€" pared a subtle rev@ilge. Counting on the fact that if any of the pages were read it was only those at the beginning, he inserted a copy of his will at page 540, in which he left his estate to be divided among those to whom the book was ordinarily sent. When M. Lefevre died in 1902 there was a search for his will, but no such document could be found and the natural heirs took possesâ€" sion. Ten years afterward some one idly browsing in volume XL. came across the unsuspected will. The present case is being brought by the friends mentioned in the will who were left out in the original division of the property, which, amounts to $80,000. | M. Lefevre was very proud of his labors and considered that the reâ€" cords he accumulated had a great literary and statistical value.
