She looked suggestiyely toward the
barn. 1t occurred TO her that this trav-

wick took the hint and started the
bony beast Twenty minutes later he
again approached his employer.
She rose TO her feet Come on" she
said shortly. and they started across the
road and over the meadow beyond. She
felt little sorry that she had checked
GStwick's jokes. but he soon recovered
his self-possession and again they were
chatting as old friends
Then began day that will live in Cat
wick's memory. Miss Willard was a fine
subject. and they went from nook 10
nook where she unconsciously fell into
the most admirable poses. Almost before
he knew it, he had exhausted the dozen
plates with which he had started out,
and q long trip across the fields was nee
essary 10 obtain a fresh supply.
They got to the house about dinner
time and had their meal there. though
Miss Willard insisted that this last day
she must have a picnic lunch, even if it
were only for o'clock tea.
When they set forth again, in addition
to The camera, Gatwick carried a heavy
basket, and he was glad enough when at
last Miss Willard decided that she had
been photographed in every favorite re-
sort and suggested that he make fire

and she was less quick to check his re-
marks. at the same time mentally decid-
ing that travelling photographers were
not only brighter but handsomer than
the young men who formed the mascu-
line element of the circle in which she
moved.
An hour later she watched him drive
down the dusty country road, and then.
with sigh, she turned indoors and be-
gan her packing, for she left on the late
night train.
And that night Gatwick, bending over
the tray in the improvised dark room
formed by the travelling wagon, saw with
delight the same dainty figure flash forth
from plate after plate and realized that
II was some of the best work he had
ever done.
He was regarded as one of the best

he had broken down from overwork just
at a time when he was about to finish
the book that was too make him famous,
he put his knowledge Of the art TO prac-
teal use by faring forth into the coun-
try.
The fresh air had done wonders for
him, and, as he wrote his chum, he
was improving almost as much as the
sick city horse. He was finishing off
the book, too, and in the meantime
he was making enough money photo
graphing the country folk. their homes
and horses to pay his way and a little
more.
In the fall Gatwick's novel made the
expected hit. and it was recognized as
one of the six best sellers" and the
ten best novels"

People.

On Monday evening September 18th
at O'Clock p. m. few of the init
mate friends of Percy J. Neelands and
Cora R. Bliss gathered, at the resi- :
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Reg. B. Kill
bourn, to witness their marriage. The
mystic words were spoken by the Rev.
Peter Mitchell in his usual happy
way. After the ceremony the guests
were seated in the beautifully decorated
dining room and at a table whose
floral decorations bespoke the deft
hand of Mrs. Kilbourn and pa1took of
a delicious supper. The evening was
pleasantly spent in song and jest and
in admiring the many beautiful and
useful presents received by the happy
couple. Mr.. and Mrs. Neelands need
no introduction to Bottineau people.
They are we'll and favorably known
and have the best wishes Of all who
know them. The Courant joins

WESTHOPE

BY our special correspondent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Thomas of Bot
1tineau visited here this week.
Wheat in this vicinity is going all
the way from 20 to 30 bushels per
acre.
Matt Simon went to Bottineau
Monday with prisoner who was
bound over for carrying concealed
weapons He had a short iron bar in
his hand and knife concealed in q
handkerchief, and was lying for

put him where he would be good.

Threshing we'll along in
Bottineau County.
AVERAGE IS GOOD
And 9 sa;n Grades well. Some wheat is
very heavy. A condensed report Of
the Yield, Average and
Grade.

Now that threshing is we'll along it
is possible to count the gain from ag-
ricultural sources this year. And the
returns are very satisfying. Most of
the wheat is grading Hard and 1
Northern and the yield will be close to
an average of 20 bushels per acre and
when it is remembered that much of
the country tributary to Bottineau
suffered heavy loss by hail that yield
is large one. A few specific in
stances may be interesting.
Alva Kelly had an average of 2315
bushels per acre on 105 acres. His
wheat tests 81 pounds to the bushel
After paying all expenses Mr.. Kelly
has cleared $500 from 1O5 acres. Last
year he escaped the rust and had an
average of 26 bushels per acre and
cleared $4,000 off the same ground.
He sold his crop at Sill per bushel
last year.
A load of wheat from Olaf Vinge' s
farm, brought to the Mclaughlin ele-
vator yesterday, tested 60 pounds to
the bushel. This is no doubt the
finest wheat that has been marketed
here this year. This wheat was of
the Red Fife variety and of a strain
known locally as the Henry Russell
wheat being from seed culled for years
by Mr.. Russell. It yields very heavily
but not enough of the field has been
threshed to give the result.
The VIM. Bell farm averaged %
bushels and graded No. Northern.
The crop on the w. J. Murray farm
is not all threshed but the average so
fa1 is about 20 and the grade No. 1
Hard. Joe Crowder's crop averaged
"a bushels and is No. Hard. The
Burr farm also operated by Mr.. Crow
der went 81 bushels of No. Northern.
A. Lorn, on the old Turner farm, had
a yield Of 26 bushels grading 1 Hard
and Northern. Bob Tait's farm pro-
duced 26 bushels per acre of No 1
Northern. Dick Williams in the
edge of the hail belt got an average Of
10 bushels of good No. Northern
The Warner farm east Of town aver
aged 1S bushels and graded North
ern. Geo. Clark's farm in the edge of
the hailed belt went Is. VIM. Will
Hanson s farms averaged 20 bushels of
No. Northern.
Some fax marketed by Peter Moe
graded No. / and averaged 13 bushels
per acre.
