THE OMAHA BEE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. 1922. My Marriage Problems Add Camson'a Nw Phaaa of "REVELATIONS OF A WIFE" (Cofunabl lilt) The Way the Man Smith Found th Cod Intact The sound of kry turning in the luck of the antique !nk tolil m that Kali was obeying Smith's injunction tu otrn the desk whir Lillian had put the eyeglass case wlst'h lu de coyed the man hack into the trap tt fur him. A alight almllling unite tnratit that the git I win fuiiihliiig fur the absurd tecrrt draurr wliiil) iuz fled nolmdy, and then Katie's voice sounded attain. "Here era ting dry hid. I'.ei eet vot you vant?" "Don't ask questions" he added l'ht epithet, and 1, used to Katie's excitable teiui rameut, wondered if h would he ahle to remain perfertly ci 1m uii'lrr the insult. Hut either from a remembrance rd her duty a an "actresV or from genuine fear of the man Smith, Katie uttered no sound, and thru there waa the quirk, imnutirnt tearing of f.irr at Smith fuiulded with tlio thimty brown wrappuiK in which Lillian purposely had tied the case. Katie PUya Her Tart "Ah!" A sibilant intake of the f-reath and th single ex Initiation told me that .Smith had reached Ihe rase, and 1 guened from the tiny beam of light which tame underneath the draperies that Katie wa holding the flashlight for him. "H here you." lln voire was brutal; all the more so because he kept it at low a pitch. "1 do not cluvie that you see any more for awhile. ( ome here. Hold the light in front of you till I bind your eyes." "Vot?" The exclamation broke from Katie, but was quickly rhanged to a little cry of pain. Smith must have struck or kicked or pinched her, and I exercised every hit of self-control I possessed to keep from ruining into the room to Kajic's aid. Hut my common sense told me that if the girl obeyed him implicitly be would not hurt her while she was still of use to him in showing him the way about the house. So 1 remained at my post, filled with a primitive Ionkiiik to reach the sinister figure in the next room and mete out to him a brutality equal Jo hit own. Smith It Jubilant. "You will get worse than that if you speak or move again without my permission," Smith said menacingly, and I heard a little strangled sob in Katie's throat which meant terri fied obedience. "There I" The single word came after a few seconds' silence, evidently devoted to binding the girl's eyes. "Now give tne that flash, and lie down on the floor, full length, arms crossed, face in arms. Quick. That's better. 1 could soon teach 'Vou obedience. Your mistress has spoiled you. Now, if you lift your head or make any other movement until I give you permission you will get an other little caress like this." "This" must have been a kick. I heard a smothered moan from Katie, and to?k an involuntary step toward the draperies which separated me from , my faithful little maid, then remembered that one of the vital points in Lillian's plan was to have Smith discover that the queer thin papers behind "the secret lining of thevyrgtasi case apparently had not been disturbed. If Katie lay mo. t;onlcss as l'was sure she would the was safe from further injury until he had finished his investiga tion, and any movement cd mine would upset Lillian's whole plan. Smith seated himself deliberately in a chair I heard the springs creak as his weight settled into it. Thrn there came to my rais the nulling of paper, and I knew that by the aid "( the flashlight he was examining the apcrt, I held my breath, and strained my ears to hear his first word, lie be I'eved hiinsrlf to be alone except for Katie, who was. in his opinion, patently a negligible quantity. That lie would express joy or chagrin, I believed, and was justified when I heard a low churkle. "Stupid swine!" he said. "Under their eye, and they could not see it! Ah! My little beauty!" I judged that he was apo trophizing the freak code which he fondly believed was still a secret "You are not yet a dead one. You will still do work for your good father. Get tip" His tone changed unbelievably as lie rpoke to Katie, but I do not think he kicked the girl again. At any rate, I heard no outcry, only the sound of her clumsy stumbling to her feet. Co mmon Sense llf By J. J. MUNDY. Ar You Enthusiastic In Your Du truss?

M MasWaaasHH U'li.vilJi y .Its Owe Advertism August IN July, just past, and now again in August, The Omaha Bee gains in advertising exceed all other papers by wide margins and in August both in total inches and percentage of gain. The Omaha Bee believes that the real basis of a newspaper's value is its circulation and rate, plus the buying power of that circulation. However, much emphasis has for years in Omaha been placed on advertising volume. Therefore, The Omaha Bee submits the figures of gains in advertis ing of all classes. These figures tell a story so plain that "he who runs may read."

Daily average circulation for July was 71,625, an increase of 11,712 over the July 1921, figures. The Sunday average circulation for July was 76,332, an increase of 19,860 over the July, 1921, figures.
