pepew,s subtle Argument.

One OF the first cases which Chaun.
cey Depew had after being admitted 70
The bar was a civil salt involving a
somewhat complicated question OF IN
heIitance.
In no way daunted young Chauncey
tackled it, looked up authorities all tue
way back to Julius Cesar, and pre-
pared an argument of few hundred
pages which seemed to him more Than
unanswerable. His only fear was that
It might be beyond the comprehension
Of the Court.
When the time came the young man
arose and plunged in boldly. The
Judge seesaed interested, and Chaun-
cey took further courage. But at the
end of an hour and a half, in the midst
of the most intricate part of his plea,
ne was panied to see what he thought
was lack of attention on the part Of
the Court It was just as he had eg-
pected; the Judge was unable 10 appre-
ciate the nice points of his argument;
He paused. hesitated, and then said;
"Your Honor ! beg your pardon, bur
do you follow me?"
Il have so far" answered the Judge
shifting about in his chair, but III
say frankly that If l thought could
find my way back 70 quit right here.
