The next morning when I was told that Mrs. Slocum wanted to speak to me on the 'phcne I answered the call at once, for had no desire to make a chump of myself for the second time.

 Hello, Tom,S' she began. "I just wanted to remind you of our engage ment this evening. Be sure to look your handsomest; you know you are taking me to the theatre" I made some foolish reply and ask ed her what she wanted. I could not believe she had called up merely to say that.
 -"I wanted to find out if it were pos Isible to geet you to answer the tele- phone. You're such a fearfully busy man. -I mustn't take up any more of your time. Good-by." She rang off
 This annoyed me considerably The two stenographers looked at me with interest; they 5re always curious when married man gets telephone calls from woman who isn't his wife. They would have been even more curious if they could have guess ed the ideas that were passing through my head.

Browne Only Citizen to
Attend Budget Hearing
Real Estate Man Criticizes the
Board for Leaving Out Pen
sion Fund Estimates

A lone citizen, in the person Of Stew
art Browne, president of the United
Real Estate Owners. Association. ap-
peared at the public hearing yesterday
on the 1922 city budget, held before
the Finance Committee of the Board of
Aldermen. With the exception of the
members of the committee the only
other persons present were five re-
porters. Alderman Frank A. Cunning
ham, chairman of the committee, pre-
sided.
Mr. Browne confined his argument
exclusively to the pension systems for
city employees and criticized the &C.
tion of the Board of Estimate in leav-
ing out of the budget several hundred
for in the estimates of the pension
funds to be made up from various
future accruals. Mr. Browne, however,
said he did not intend to cast any re-
flections on Mayor Hylan for the ac-
tion of the board, but held Comptroller
Charles L. Craig entirely responsible
for what he called violation of the
statutes of the state, as reflected in
the city charter.
Mr. Browne said employees were con-
tributing to the pension funds, and il
they were not kept up by the city it
was a violation of contract. He
argued that the Board of Aldermen
had right to reinstate the pension
funds, despite the general interprcta-
tion of the charter that the Aldermen
might reduce items in the budget, but
not make any increases.

My Paddy Wasn't Lonesome

All that day Paddy the Beaver
he was too busy to be really lone

time for loneliness. "Mrs. Quack

know" thought Paddy 81 suppose

here and that it wouldn't have been
wise for them to stay any longer
IF the Quacks are right, and
don't doubt it in the least | cannot
afford to waste any time. That food
pile of mine isn't big enough to suit
me. 1t would do for an ordinary
winter, but not for an extra long
one. One of these mornings III wake
up and find that Jack Frost has
will be no chance to add to my food
pile"
SO Paddy cut down another popla,
tree and all that day he worked with
might and main to trim off the
branches and cut the trunks into
logs and get them over to his food
pile out in the middle Of his pond
He was too busy to talk with Light
foot the Deer. He was too busy to
talk with Bobby Coon. He was too
busy to more than ned to Blacky
the Crow. And when Peter Rabbit
appeared and tried to satisfy his
curiosity by asking questions Paddy
was so busy he pretended he didn't
know Peter was there.
Late that afternoon while Paddy
was taking log over to sink in his
food pile. he heard sound that
caused him to stop swimming and
listen eagerly. A look of pleasure
swept over his face and for the time
being Paddy forgot he was busy.
"Honk, k'hcnk, honk. honk, k'honk.
honk." There was but one voice like
that and Paddy looked eagerly up in
the sky toward the North. So did
Peter Rabbit, sitting on the shore.
So did I.igh.foot the Deer. So did
Bobby Coon. So did Biacky the
Grow.
"Honk. k'honk, honk. honk. k'honk
khonk, honk, honk." 1t seemed that
that voice was coming down from
an empty sky.
1t was Blacky's keen eyes that
first saw two lines of tiny specks

high up. in the sky toward the North.
II see them!" he cried. 81 see them
They are flying high and l wonder
If they will step here?" Blacky flew
to the top OF taller tree, that he
might see better.
For a while all remained ouiet
listening and watching. "Honk.
k'honk, honk, honk, k'honk. bonk'
honk, k'honk." Every minute it he,
came louder and clearer. Soon even
Paddy, whose eyes arc not yerv
good, could see those wedge shaped
lines, for they were now muc. lower
and nearer.
They are going to stop! They are
going to stop!' shrieked Blacky.
"Honk is leading the way down."
sure enough the leader had turned
ana was now slanting downward
straight toward Faddys pond and be-
rand him his followers did the same
thlng Down, down, down they came,
twelve great birds with broad wings
ana long necks, and few minutes
later they sent the water of Paddy's
pond tying in silvery drops as thew
landed on the pond. 1t was Honker
the Goose and his flock, straight
from the Far North.
And this is why Paddy the Beaver
had no chance to be lonesome. The
Quacks had left in the morning and
mere were Honker the Goose and
ms flock with the latest news from
the Far North.
