PieTette chose one of the most bril-

TO alight. Her feet first touched the
earth directly in front of one of the
great show windows, through whose
transparent protection she gazed in
rapture at the dazzling array of femi-
nine apparel. 1t must be from a place
like this that those gorgeous costumes
worn by the women she had watched
were taken. She fairly gloated over
the display of soft silks and shining
satins and the glittering sequined
gowns. All! If she could just for once
don one of those exquisite frocks.

No one seemed to see or notice her,

mating monocles. She paused for a
moment in front of one OF these hous-
es and as she did so her own cloak
slipped from her shoulders to the
ground. She stopped to pick it up,
when a voice said, ALLOW me-" and
turning, Pierrette looked straight into
the eyes of one OF the men she had
been admiring in the window.
Pierrette smiled sweetly at him.
She had no conception of her exquisite
ethereal loneliness as she stood full in
the food of illumination from the un-
curtained windows.
May take you to your carriage or
motor, or whatever you have wait
ing?" inquired the man.
Pierrette laughed outright at this.
But / have no motor or anything
waiting"
The man drew a step nearer and re-
garded her more closely. He looked
puzzled. But surely you are not
here alone-and like this?"
ooh, but / am" returned Pierrette
with glee.
The man did not respond at once,
but continued to regard her perplexed-
ly. When he spoke it was with GER
tain diffi6ence that sat upon him with
an unaccustomed air.
"Would-would you care to come
and dine with me?" he asked at
length
DO you mean in one of those beau
tiful big hotels, with all the lights and
music?" demanded Pierrette, her eyes
sparkling with anticipation.

But don't know. You choose: l
shall be sure to DO pleased wherever
you take me-"
Presently an electric brougham that
had been waiting in the shadow, drew
up at the curb, and the man put Pier
rette carefully within it and then
placed himself beside her. This was
another of those mysterious vehicles
that ran without visible means, but
this one had no stairway outside it
and It went quietly and with no dread
full odor.
When they were seated at a delight
full little flower-laden table in screen
ed corner and the silentfooted waiter
had been given the order, the man
turned and looked long and earnestly
at Pierrette before speaking.
Pierrette blushed and hung her head
under the close scrutiny, although she
was pleased and greatly excited.

quietly, that while do not know just

B. vevang Sent to Penitentiary.

Bernard Vevang, a former
parochial school teacher and
political worker in this county,
was this week sentenced by
Judge c. F. Templeton of
Grand Forks to serve a five
years sentence in the state
pentitentiary, having pleaded
guilty to the crime of rape. >
The complaining witness was
Miss Regina johnson, aged
fifteen years, residing at Man
Evel. Vevang was arrested
Friday afternoon and on Mon
day pleaded guilty to the
charge against him and re-
ceiyed his sentence.
The Grand, Forks Herald
says: Just seventy-two hours
after warrant was sworn out
for his arrest, Bernard Vevang,
school teacher, entered a plea
of guilty to charge of rape
yesterday and was sentenced
to serve five years in the state
penitentiary.
The warrant for his arrest
was sworn out last Friday
morning, and at 4 o'clock that
afternoon he was placed under
arrest. The next afternoon at
2 o'clock he waived examina-
ton, and was bound over to
the district court. Yesterday
he appeared before Judge Tenn
pleton, pleaded guilty and re-
ceived his sentence of five

yesterday. In speaking Of the
institution of which he is the
head, Mr.. Kemp grew op-
timistic as to the outlook for a
successful term this fall.
This school is located at
Bottineau, this state, and is
the only school of it's kind in
the United States and the peo-
pie of North Dakota are proud
of this fact and the good work
that is being done by the in
stitution.
Mr.. Kemp is remarkably
we'll prepared to preside over
his institution, both by educa-
tion and native ability. Since
his incumbency in his present
position, the school has pros
pered wonderfully.

Lloyd w. Wells Got BEATING.

Buford Tribune: Last Sun
day Constable Wells of Balm
Vile dropped into Mondak.
Montana, and ever since there
has been a sufficiency of local
happenings that ought to make
the most fastidious happy.
Wells took away a citizen, or
transient, of that town and
had him up before the majesty
of the law at Culbertson. The
constable returned to Mondak
on Tuesday, but-what a
change in his appearance. He
seems to have run up against
a whirlwind at Culbertson in
the person of Billy Stephens,
and in the settlement of per-
sonal grievance Bro. Wells
came off second best, with a
face on him that looked as if
he had, like the genial Ike
Parthington' been run through
a threshing machine. Mr..
Stephens reported to have paid
$25 for the fun and remarked
that he would like to repeat
the operation. The Tribune is
reliably informed that the peo-
pie Of Mondak presented Mr..
Wells with card Of sympathy
because he was not killed.
Mr.. Wells seems to be travel
ing over some hard roads at
the present time, and many of
the residents of both Mondak
and Culbertson do not seem to
have the proper amount of
sympathy with him that he
might have were he to pursue
a course Of moderation in the
performance of his duties as
a law official.

Feeding and Watering the Horse.

An important fact to know
in the feeding of the horse is
that it's stomach is quite small,
that is it will hold about two
gallons. If the horse is fed
his grain first, then hay and
then water, the grain will be
pushed out of the stomach be-
fore it is digested. The best
way is to water first, then feed
some hay, and then the grain.
In case the horse is warm it
would not do to give all the
water it would take, but it
should be given little even
then. During the warm wealth
er it would be we'll if the horse
be watered in the field at least
once during the forenoon and
in the afternoon. A horse will
eat to much hay if given all at
once. Feed a smaller amount
of hay at noon, In hot weather
it pays to take at least an hour
and a half rest at noon and
often times even longer and
then work a little later in the
evening.

trouble Tuesday which gave

he intended to lie down as he
felt poorly. Upon returning
to the kitchen he fell over,
striking his head against the

condemnation of Secretary Bal

the report, but it is the head
