"That," Mr. Dill remarked, his business instincts uppermost, "it seems to me, need not concern us seeing that they will sell, and at a price we can handle." "I reckon you're right. Would yuh mind saying over the details uh the offer again?" "Mr. Brown" Dill cleared his throat "offered to sell me a full section of land, extending from the line-fence of the home ranch, east "
Mary Isabel did not look at the Hamilton house. She kept her head resolutely turned away as she went down the shore lane with its wild sweet loneliness of salt-withered grasses and piping sea-winds. Only when she turned the corner of the fir-wood, which shut her out from view of the houses, did she look timidly over the line-fence. Dr.
Brand Williams watched the man and the boy as they walked along the line-fence trail together. Collie leading the pony, the man talking and gesticulating earnestly. Finally they shook hands. The tramp crawled under the fence. The boy mounted Baldy and rode away. Williams, catching up his own horse, spurred quickly across the ridge above the spring that the boy might not see him.

Near the line-fence which separates his property from mine, Mr. Havelot has sunk a wide shaft. "If the glacier spur under your land was a quarter of a mile wide," he says to me, "it was probably at least a half a mile long; and if that were the case, the upper end of it extends into my place, and I may be able to strike it." He has a good deal of money, this worthy Mr.
With little discussion and as a matter of course, the two democracies, in the closing years of a full century of peace, thus made provision for the sane and friendly settlement of future line-fence disputes.
