SATISFACTORILY SETTLED

A little while ago Lawyer Hackett
of Someryille purchased some land
over which there had been a lawsuit
for years, until the parties had spent
half a dozen times what the land was
worth. Hackett knew all about It,
Some of the people wondered why he
wanted to get hold of property with
such an incubus of uncertainty upon
it. Others thought that perhaps he
wanted some legal knitting work and
would pitch in red-hot to fight that
line-fence question on his own hook.
That's what the owner of the ad.
joining land thought. SO he braced
himself for trouble when he saw
Hackett coming across the field one
day.
Said Hackett: whats your claim
here, anyway, as to this fence?'

Hackett. | want you to take enough

of the new neighbor stunned him. Yet
