OMAHA, MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1920. 10 My Heart and My Husband ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of "Revelations of a Wife" The Way Lillian Underwood En- deavored to Set Madge's Fears at Rest 1 Lillian did not ipend much time in pondering the contents of the anonymous advertisements I had handed her. She looked them over once again, bundled them carelessly into the brown paper, and going to her trunk thrust them into the tray, locking the trunk. "You don't mind my keeping them?" she said perfunctorily, and I echoed Alice Holcombe's relief at getting rid of them. "I m sure I never want to see tne things again," I said. "I don't want you to," she retort ed grimly. "I'm going to take this thing in hand from now on. It's pretty nearly time to scotch this particular snake. I've neglected get ting much of a line on him because he didn't appear to he (loins much harm, but I'll get busy now, pron to. Just run over that description of. him strain, won't you?" 'I did so, and she jotted down ' some of the points. "Now, outline again, just as they 2 happened, those encounters you had with the animal out near the camp." The question nonplussed me for a moment, because in my first telling of the story to Lillian I had care t fully eliminated everything which would indicate the presence on the scene of Harry Underwood. I was not sure that I could tell the story twice in just thp same way. But I knew better than to let her see even sq instant's apparent dis may on my part "Jnst let me go over them a min ute by myself, I said carelessly. "I don't want to forget anything." "Fat chance there is of you for getting anything," she answered with breezy slanginess, but I saw to my relief that she had no suspicion that I had any ulterior motive for my deliberation.- I put my memory to work, not so much tb recall what had happened si to b able to relate the same story to Lillian which I had n told her at first And I flattered myself when I finished that I had said, no word which could possibly betray to Lillian the fact that the husband whose returning she so feared had been actually on the scene. As I began talking I saw her take the old familiar attitude, her elbows on her knees, her chin cupped in her hands, and knew that as she herself woald express it she was "strictly on the job." The action re- Iieyed me of one anxiety that she might see in my face the fact that Home Rule Bill ,. Coolly Received In South Ireland Dublin, Feb. 29. The reception of the home rule bill her Is generally unfavorable. The constitutionalists are not discussing it and are await .ing Sir Horace Plunket's announce ment next Thursday regarding , American opinion, - Arthur,' Griffin, De Valera's sec ' ond , in ' command, stated the Sinn Fein view. "The bill,- he said, "Is merely one to repeal the measure by promises of which John Redmond was duped into advising his countrymen to fight and die for England in the late war. Tell the American people that Ire land will never permit itself to be made, according to the present plans or English militarists, a pistol point ed at New York. England's scheme, with its agent Carson, to dismember Ireland will meet a similar fate to England's former scheme with Aar on Burr to dismember the United States. 9 A TRUCK feature that will interest you at the Motor Track Show this week is that the units in the Kissel truck chassis are oversized the Kissel-built motor, the frame, springs, axles, brakes big sturdy dependable trpek units each are built for real truck service.

She remained in the same con templative attitude for two or three minutes after I had finished speak ing, evidently docketing and filing away what I bad told her. Then she sprang to her feet-and stretched her shapely arms high above her head. "Don't bother your head any more about Mister Jake Wilsey." She drawled the name Mrs. Ticer had said was the man's real one in a laugh-provoking fashion, and I saw that she wished me to think the whole affair was not of vital importance. But I knew that she would spare no energy in hunting down the man's record and "scotch ing the snake," and realized that she attached far more importance to his activities than she wished me to know. ' "I think I'll run up to town in the morning," she said carelessly. "Per haps I'll be gone two or three days. You have so many people over there, don't you want to take this room while I am gone? I'd like to have Marion with you." "That will just fit in nicely," I said, with the thought of the ex pected visit of Jack and Katherine leaping into my brain. For a sec ond the announcement of that visit was very near my lips. I knew that with Lillian the secret of the visit would be safe, but a second thought told me that I would have to explain the reason for keeping the visit a surprise to every one, and that was Harriet Braithwaite's secret. I had no right to reveal it even to Lillian. "Everything always 'fits in nicely' with you doesn't it?" she replied fondly, giving my shoulder a caress ing little pat as she passed me. "I don't believe anybody ever asked you a favor but what you managed to make it appear that it was the one thing that would suit your convenience best to do." "I never saw any one who could talk the arrant nonsense that you do," I scolded. "Favors forsooth 1 As if I couldn't guess the reason for this sudden trip to town." "Little girls shouldn't ask ques tions," she said didactically, "but should always obey and trust their elders. Come along, let's go back to our dear relatives and friends." I obeyed her with nerves relaxed, fears soothed. I knew that the matter- of the man named Jake Wilsey was safe in Lillian's capable hands, that I could give my unhampered attention to the visit of Jack and Katherine. (Continued Tomorrow.) May Legally Transfer Liquor Stocks From One House to Another Washington, Feb. 29. Liquor owners may transfer their stocks legally from one dwelling to an other only when there is an actual change of residence and then only under special permit, according to an announcement by the internal revenue bureau, issued to correct published reports that owners of two or more dwellings might move their stocks from one to the other nnhampered. "This ruling Is not construded to mean, for example, that a person who owns a shooting lodge in Maine, a winter residence in Florida and a private dwelling in New York may transport liquor for beverage purposes from one to another," the statement said. "Liquor so transported and the vehicles in which it is conveyed are subject to seizure. The person transporting it is subject to arrest.

It is blessed to live in Omaha. Look at the Auto Show. Some people would see nothing in it but a silencer for the yapping that has been heard around the world from Chicago ever since that enterprising village built the White City and howled: "Excelsior." But the business man who views the vista of golden opportunities before him, who made the show, building better than they knew, as a matter of fact, dream dreams of wealth that would make the combined hoards of Midas, Croesus and Monte . Christo look like a before - 'hash. 1 There is one automobile state, a larger per capita than is found in any other state in the country. " ' Which is a fact of r nificance when traced through all Its ramifications. It means that at least one out of every 10 people in the state has passed out of the shadow of want into the J sunlight of plenty and enough. r Became people, not all, anyhow, buy automobiles ; with their last cent. f This means money; money In bank, money invested, t money stored away and in reserve. It is the outward and prosperity. And this gives confidence to business, because I business can itself invest, j, finding a mart for its goods. People will buy if they possession of an automobile I sign of this money. There is, however, a larger significance to be found in this little item of statistics, but it is one dealing more with the possibilities of the future. These possibilties are pected of these owners of automobiles. First to be expected, is the trade that naturally is to come from their various trips to and fro. They go from the farm to the small town, and from the small town to the larger. This means expenditures for gasoline and j tires, and more money spent than ordinarily would see the light of day. from year's beginning to year's end, because people cannot visit from place to place, even in cases of compartively near neighbors, without spending money, or developing the ambition to spend some, whether from envy at what some one else has, or from desire awakened by what some one else has said. Second, the automobile owner is going to demand good roads, and these in turn will mean more automo- . biles and longer distances of : pie coming to town, and oftener. . It means great lines of inaugurated from Omaha, picking up farmers' supplies and bringing them to the city, and carrying him out the things he hasn't the time to come in and buy in person. It means limitless possibilities, probabilities and actualities, because these things are bound to come. One automobile to nearly every six people in the state. , Wonderful state!
