Bedtime Stories
What Paddy the Beaver Heard
By Thornton w. Burgess
Want thing, and you wiu find
Others of q kindred mind.
old Mother Nature.

Just a little way from the shore
of the pond of Paddy the Beaver deep
in the Green Forest slept Honker the
Goose and his flock. Many, many
miles had they flown since the break
of day and they were very, very tired
Here in Paddy's pond they felt safe
and they went to sleep without wor-
ry. They were so sure nothing could
harm them there that they didn't
even keep one guard.
Yet as gentle Mistress Moon looked
down on that peaceful scene and
flooded the pond with her soft light
hungry eyes, fierce eyes, were peer
ing out from the bushes and brush
along the shore. They .glowed with
eagerness and longing as they saw
the water, for their noses told them
that those dark masses were great birds
sleeping there. You see, the wandering
Little Night Breezes brought the
strong scent of Geese and made GER
tain mouths, filled with long, sharp
teeth, water.
Reddy Fox was sure, quite sure,
that never in his life had he wanted
anything as he wanted one of those
great birds for his dinner. Old Man
Coyote had precisely the same feel
ing. And so had Yowler the Bob Cat,
not to mention Mrs. Reddy and Old
Granny Fox. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy
had come together, but for while
none of the others knew of the pres
ence of any but themselves.
But out in the pond was a silent
watchman who knew just where each
was. 1t was Paddy the Beaver. His
nose had told him that. AS quietly
as the sleeping Geese he foated,
listening for some sound of the ene-
mics he knew we're all around the
pond. He didn't dare go ashore to
work. so he kept watch.
Now those watchers had approached
the pond from different directions,
each taking the greatest care to make
no sound. AS soon as it was discov-
cred just where those Geese were
sleeping each hungry, eager hunter be-
gan to steal noiselessly around to the
place on the shore nearest those sleep
ing birds, hoping that one. OF them
would drift near enough to be caught.
Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy were
the first to reach that place Paddy
didn't hear them, but his hose told
him just where they were. Present.
ly old Granny Fox joined them.
Still they made no sound. Reddy and
Mrs. Reddy may have been. disap-
pointed, but they said nothing.
After all, she was one of the family.
A few minutes later the faintest
of gfowls came to the listening ears
New-York tribune., 1921-12-03

of Paddy the Beaver. Paddy grinned.
"Old Man Coyote has arrived" he
muttered. "He is too smart to speak
loud enough to waken those Geese,
but guess those Foxes understand
him all right. Probably he is show
ing all his teeth, and they don't like
the look of them. Ha! / thought
as much he added as the faint
rustic of leaves reached him. Chose
Foxes have had to move along and
give up their place to Old Man
Coyote. How they must hate him!"
For time Paddy heard nothing
more. All was as still as if. no liv-
ing creature were near. Then sud
denly there was low growl followed
by splitting sound and faint but
ugly snarl. Again Paddy grinned.
"Yowler the Bob Cat, as livel" he
exclaimed under his breath. "He is
ordering Old Man Coyote away,
and Old Man Coyote won't dare STAY.
How that will tickle those Foxes!
wish some one would come along to
drive Yowler away, the old Sneak
Cat!"
Not five minutes later Paddy had
his wish. He heard Yowler snarl It
was a low snarl, but an ugly one 1t
was answered by a deep, .rumblv.
grumbly growl. There was the sound
Of sharp claws on wood, and Paddy
knew that Yowler had taken to
tree. Then in the silvery moonlight
black form reared above the
bushes. 1t was Buster Bear, who had
just caught the scent of those
Geese.
"My, this is exciting!" thought
Paddy, "but, oh, dear, how it does in
terfere with my work."

Malone Divorce
Still Enshrouded
I'm Much Secrecy
Interest in Case Accentuated
by the Fact That Both
Parties Are Adherents Of
Roman Catholic Faith

Secrecy continued to be maintained
here yesterday by relatives and friends
of Mrs. May O'Gorman Malone, daugh-
ter of former United States Senator
James A. O'Gorman, regarding her
divorce from Dudley Field Malone in
Paris last summer. Neither Mr.. Malone,
who is resident of Paris, but is in
New York now on legal business for
his firm, nor Mr.. O'Gorman would con-
sent to throw any light on the marital
differences that led to the action
brought in the French courts by the
wife.
Interest in the divorce, which be-
came known here for the first time on
Thursday, when Mr.. Malone confirmed
the news, was accentuated yesterday
because of the mystery surrounding
the action and the fact that both Mt
Malone and his divorced wife are ad-
herents of the Roman Catholic faith,
which dcaa not recognize divorce.
A member of the Catholic clergy
said yesterday that it is entirely with
in the Church's law for the Catholic
Church to grant a separation. but ne
explained that a separation is never
granted where mere incompatibility is
the cause for seeking it. The grounds
must be of serious nature, he SAID,
or else the Catholic Church cannot
recognize them.
There was nothing to prevent either
the wife or the husband from obtain
ing legal separation or divorce
through the courts, however, he added,
except that the Church could not
recognize the divorce, and as for the
separation, it wculd have to have the
concordance of the Church before it
could be recognized.
There is nothing in the incomplete
story of the divorce to show whether
separation through the Church was
obtained prior to the divorce.
Asked if the political GOODNESS that
has existed for the last few years be.
tween former Collector of the Port OF
New York and former Senator O'Gor-
man might have had some bearing on
the action for a divorce, a relative by
marriage of the former May O'Gor,,
man expressed the belief that it had
not. He said he did not think that
even the members of the O'Gorman
family, excepting Mrs. Malone, were
familiar with the details Of the divorce
action.

Brewster Sues Weinstock
Major Asks $50, 600 for Prison
Board Ren0rf

Major Sidney w. Brewster, assistant
superintendent of the New York City
Reformatory, filed suit for 1000
damages in. the Supreme Court yester-
day against Commissioner Leon G..

cation Of the reformatory by Commits

alleged that the Commissioner gave out
the contents of his report for publica-
ton IN advance of transmitting it to
the prison commission, and that the re-
port contained criticism of Major Brew
stert official conduct which was not
Justified by the evidence. The plaintiff
says that the charges made by Commits
sionsr Weinstock injured him in his
reputation and standing.
