Show Left Will In Memoirs. A romantic story of a will written in a book of memoirs has just come to light in Paris. Some time ago about ten years M. Lefevre de Revel, an excise inspector, retired from his post and, not knowing how to fill in his spare time, began the task of writing his memoirs. He made excellent progress and the number of volumes soon became amazing. He had them bound and gave them to his relativa and friends to read, and was hlghj complimented by them. On page 6C of the 11th volume he wrote a vil' leaving his fortune (about $S0,OOG.J to various friends. At the 17th volume he died. As none of his friends had had the fortitude and preseverance to make their way as far as page 640 of the 11th volume, they all remained in complete ignorance of this will, and the next-of-kin took the fortune. A short time ago, purely by chance, the will was discovered, and the friends named in the will have begun an action to recover the fortune. |
