Excerpt: ... "Oh, I thought you meant you were going to warn me to move on," and Dave fancied his friend laughed with an air of relief. "Nothing like that yet," said Mr. Carson, smiling. "But about the fences, concerning which Pocus Pete spoke to me?" "Well, I suggested to Mr. Molick that he'd better put them up," said Mr. Bellmore. "You did!" There was great surprise manifested in the exclamation of Mr. Carson. "Why, yes, I did" "What for?" asked Mr. Carson. "Of course you know that if land is allowed to go unfenced for twenty years-or for a longer or shorter period according to different states- that the land becomes public property, or at least the public has a right- of-way over it and it can not be closed off.

He has taken more than his share of the water that is supposed to be for our joint use, and when I objected he was very ugly about it." I feel it my duty to warn you that if you have any business dealings with him to look well to your own interests. He will take every legal advantage, and some that, in my opinion, are not legal."
