A NARROW ESCAPE.
Dramatic Climax to an Exciting VIII
Contest Case.

Dramatic Climax to an Exciting Will
Contest Case.
The conversation turned on the mo-
when they were least expected to have
any influence at all, and this reminded
Mr. Thompson of an episode in his
own practice as lawyer.
TT was the most exciting legal bat
tie of my life" he said, and every one
present begged him to tell it,
"a fight was going on for the pos
session of a large fortune" continued
he, while the others settled themselves
for the story. "a hayward son was
contesting the will of his father, and
the case abounded in dramatic fea-
lures. Charge and counter charge were
frequent. The young man was explo-
sive, hot tempered and without char
acter. How much his family had suf-
fered through him no one ever knew.
The young rascal had hoped to get his
fathers vast fortune, and now he saw
the case going against him and the
money slipping through his fingers.
The last link in the chain of evidence
was all that was needed. and that
would be supplied by the testimony of
his sister. Her name was called, and
as she stood up-she was a beautiful
creature-there arose a buzz of admira-
ton such as sometimes comes from an
audience. She fustered at that and
hesitated, then started for the witness
stand. got up as she was passing
me, intending to reassure her, and ac-
cidentally stepped on her gown. Gowns
had slight train in those days. My
awkwardness saved her life"
He paused for moment to note the
effect of his words. 1.-The admiration
of those in the courtroom was the final
touch to that worthless brother. He
sprang up and, drawing revolver
from his pocket, exclaimed, We'll, if
don't get the money you never WILL
and fired at her as she came toward
him. My checking her by treading on
her gown made her step backward, and
the bullet missed her by an inch."-
