JACK ATKIN MAY NOT GO
Heavy Racer to Be Ruled Out in
Metropolitan Handicap.

New York, May 12.-Aecording to
horsemen, Jack Atkin, the top weight
horse in the Metropolitan handicap,
which is to open the racing season in
the east at Belmont Park tomorrow
afternoon, may not be a starter. 1t
was commonly believed that he would
be reserved for the Toboggan handi-
cap on Saturday. Jack Atkin with the
other three horses carrying heaviest
weights for the Metropolitan handicap
had been doing fine work on the Pa
cific coast during the last winter.
Racers at the principal tracks about
New York have been working hard for
the Metropolitan.
James r. Keene's three-year-old
Turncoat galloped the Metropolitan
distance of one mile easily in 1:43
yesterday. s. Emery's Arasee and
Mary Davis, in company, went the
distance in 1:44 2-5.
The fact that Jack Atkin in a trial
went three-quarterS of a mile in
1:19 3-5 led turfmen to believe that he
would be reserved for the Toboggan.
John E. Madden's much talked of
season was rated next to Sir Martin,
now a derby choice in England, gal
loped a mile in 1:43 and as he has
had the benefit of a long early prepa-
ration at Washington. he is looked on
as thoroughly fit. Mcintyre will prob
ably ride him. Half Sovereign had an
easy gallop of a half mile and is said
to be ready. High Private was given
only a canter yesterday and unless an
improvement is shown today will be
considered a doubtful starter.

FAIRY AND. CHILD
o. listen, little Dear My-Soul,
To the fairy voices calling,
For the moon is high in the misty sky
And the honey dew is failing;
To the midnight feast in the clover bloom
The bluebells are a-ringing,
And it's Come away to the land of fay
That the katydid is singing.
o, slumber. little DearMySoul.
And hand in hand Wen wander
Hand in hand to the beautiful land
OF Balow, away off yonder,
Or we'll sail along in a lily leaf
Into the white moons halo
Over a stream of mist and dream
Into the land Of Balow.
Or you shall have two beautiful wings
Two gossamer wings and airy,
And all the while shall the old moon smile
And think you a little fairy;
And you shall dance in the velvet sky
And the silvery stars shall twinkle,
And dream sweet dreams as over their
beams
Your footballs softly tnkle.

them. OF course she did and was glad
of the chance.
Soon the hunters came along and
the birds flew away. She hid in the
brush and was not seen. The cold
winter was now coming on and the
catbird did not know the way home.
Then a man came along and was
just saying "You poor thing" when
Vexie woke up in a fright. She ran
home as fast as she could and told of
her dream. After that she did her

years.
Vexie didn't know what to do when
she was suddenly changed into a cat
bird. She just stood there, not know
ing which way to turn, but finally
spread her wings and flew high in the
air. Vexie thought il was delightful
to be able to fly above the tree tops
and to light on their boughs.
After a while she thought she would
try her voice and as she did so she
was very surprised at it being the
NEW OF a cat.
Then she began to fool people by
hiding somewhere and mewing just
like a cat. They would look for the
cat and find II to be only a bird.
For her supper she found a piece of
bread which little Tommy Jones had
left on the porch.
That evening she sat by the window
and saw her mother talking to
neighbor, and she heard her mother
say: How nice ii would be IL Vexie
would come back and be good little
girl; it would make us all feel so much
happier"
Vexie flew away and found place to
sleep in an old barn.
The next morning as she was look
ing for something to eat, swarm or
birds flew down upon her and gave
her a good pecking. Vexie awoke with
a start and went straight home, and
has always been good girl.

Then she flew up to the branches of
a nearby tree. The birds followed her
scolding and pecking. This made her
very angry. She flew down to hedge
that grew by the roadside and stayed
all night
In the morning when she woke up
she felt very hungry. Looking down TO
the ground she saw bee and started
to eat it, But the bee did not want to
be eaten so 1t stung her. This was
enough to stop her from wanting any

Wondering where she might get some
thing better she few to a barnyard
not far away. Here she found some
thing that she liked better.
While she was eating she heard
somebody. They were her father and
mother. Her mother was telling her
what she had done that day and wish
she would be better.
When she heard this she was very
sorry, for she loved her parents very
much. Just then she woke up and
found she had been dreaming. she
never said, 'I can't" or disobeyed her

Imagine her surprise when she
tapped her wings and scared high up
in the air. But of course she didn't
know how to guide, and it was no
wonder that she got tangled in the
branches of some high trees.
Finally she got out and began to
see how to guide. She then turned
toward her home, and to her surprise
she found she could talk. She told her
