If R waa going to be a case of the better man winning; It waa going to be nip and tnck between the two. A tremendous boom of business In town increased Giles law business and brought ' more practice to Dirk, who was taking over his father's medical work. Giles bought a piece of property so far out of town that wise old ladles winked and said: Hell be building a house on It for himself and Martha Endlcott" Then a nationally known firm put up a factory near by and Giles sold out for double what he had paid. Dick took a rundown house In puyment for a bHd debt and before the year was up it whs wanted badly by the owners of the apartment house on either side, ao Dick turned a penny he hud not expected to turn.

But she was singularly fastidious In her treatment of both men, and what she did not permit Giles she did not permit Dick. Fortunately, perhaps, their Invitations seldom dashed so that she was not forced to decide between them. Dick did not Invite her to the few Intellectual affairs that came to town, as did Giles.

It was always a busy day for Martha, and when evening had come and the strain was a hit over, she was glad to slip Into one of the stone seats hacked against a mass of shrubbery and listen to the sweet strains from the violin. Giles came first, and plunged Into his declaration without preamble. Tve loved you for years, Martha, but would not speak until I had what seemed to be adequate possessions to offer you. Some people accuse me of being over thrifty, but whst I have done I have done for you." It was hard for Martha to do what she did, but It had to be done. She laid a pitying hand on hia knee, for he knew what her words would mean to Giles. Some time ago, Giles," she began tenderly. "Dick Winters told me frankly that he loved me, hut was not In a position to marry me. lie refused to hind me, although I think I waa quite willing to be bound.

In- Liberal interpretation of a seet ion of the Utah motor vehicle art was made last Saturday by Secretary of State Crockett in respect to the statute stating vehicle to be inspected for registration. No application for registration of any vehiele shall be accepted by the secretary of state unless said vehicle shall have been insjieeted by a qualified motor vehiele inspector." Previous to this time certificate of ownership and insjieetion thereof has been demanded each year when th motorist has applied for new license plates. Now, areoriling to SeereUiv Crockett, owners holding rertifirates of ownership and previous ,'nspection may forwanl the same to his offic ami license will lie issued without the further trouble of another inspection. Secretary Crockett said last Saturday that, while thia action would cause the loss of a sum of money to the state, he believed the process of issuing licenses would be cx;ieditcd to such an extent as to more than pay for the financial loss from the inspections made.
