= T was a June night in fairyland and
little SQuank sat swinging on the
lowest branches Of rosebush. Here
he had lived with the Queen Of the
fairies for many years and been very
happy, but tonight he selt as If he want
ed to see something Of the rest Of the
world.
Very beautiful it was here among the
flowers, breathing perfumed air and
fitting about in the moonlight. And
very kind was the Queen to Squank.
Yet he was not a fairy, but a kind
hearted little goblin, and often he long
ed for something more exciting than
slipping dewdrops and dancing amid the
ferns. So he swung in the breeze and
kicked his tiny feet till his slippers
were wet with dew. Presently he saw
a strange light far off in the sky.
This Is just my chance to see some
thing of the world" he said as he Slid
to the ground. Something is happen
ing over there and ! am going to find
out what 1t is right now" So off he
sped like the wind. Soon Fairyland was
left behind, and after a long flight he
stopped to rest on the top of noun
tain.
Below him was strange country.
He could see hundreds of men running
about, and they were all giants. Their
hands were so large that Squank could
have danced about in their palms. When
one of the giants spoke the noise shook
Squank. though he was far up above
their homes The light came from a
huge building, the home OF one Of the
giants. for it had caught fire and was
blazing away. making a glow over the
world for miles.
Well, this is a new country to mn.
and It looks interesting said SquanS
to himself; guess will take a closer
peep" So he flew down. down, down,
till he lit on the ground in front OF a
giant baby that was lying on the grass
kicking up its immense heels and max
ing a loud noise.
The baby was so surprised 10 see the
tiny goblin that It sat up and opened
its mouth till Squank feared he would
pc swallowed, clothes and all. Then
it grabbed at the goblin, thinking ;ha:
Squank was a new kind of a butter

the sordid story Of home disrupted by

George Broadhurst made this play in

II Is not often that a $50 horse II
able to 90 forth and battle with SEs
very best OF the Grand Circuit brigade.
and II Is not customary for q country
merchant to campaign the fastest pac-
err In the 2:05 class. The records for
the racing season just closed. however,
prove that TO the lot of cheap horse
and q country owner have come the
honor OF heading the list OF money
winners In the 2:05 class, and the big
stables are now casting longing eye
In the direction of Converse, Ind.
and wondering how IL happened.
When William Maple. cheese mer
chant and huckster OF Converse, Ind.
bid $50 for a tall, long-legged ana
rather coarse black colt at the last
sale OF the Daugherty Brothers In
Wabash. three years ago. he builded
better than he knew. Few men about
the sale ring considered the colt
worth a seasons training. but Mr..
Maple did not regret his purchase
when the following spring the colt.
under the name OF Walter Cochat0.
took record OF 2:17 IA as q three.
year-old over the hais-mile track at
Russiaville.
Now the name OF Walter Cochato
Is known from one end OF the Grand
Circuit to the other. from Kalamazoo.
Mich, to Rockingham Park, at Salem.
~ H., and from Buffalo to Lexington.
Opposite the name stands a record
,of 2:03 IA, and the statistics for the
racing season just closed show that
Walter Cochato won for his huckster
owner the princely sum OF $500, the
largest amount credited TO any PAGER
IN the 2:05 class.
While the campaign and the turf
history OF Walter Cochato are known
to many followers of the Grand Ci:-
cult, but few know the real debut or
this noted star. The son OF Cochato
(2:17 1-2) and Kitty Burgess. by
Patehen Wilkes was foaled- in Frank.
lin county. KY. seven miles from
Frankfort. on the farm OF w. Fl. and
w. J. Lewis, prominent breeders OF
trotters.
The black colt grew so rapidly that
he was not highly regarded by his
breeders and he was picked up at q
small price when representatives or
the Daugherty Stock Farm were in
Kentucky. Like all Indiana horsemen.
Mr.. Maple was anxious to secure a
horse of good size, and when Walter
Cochato was led into the ring his size
alone recommended him, as he showed
little speed. In his three-year-ois
form. however, the colt made a cred.
table campaign In the hands Of II. X.
Trowbridge, of Marion. Ind, and as
four-year-old, In 1912. he beat all
the best PAGERS on the Great Western
Circuit, driven by Harry Snider. or
Montpelier.
The last season in the hands or
Homer Legg, an amateur. and new
to the Grand Circuit. he won a mum.
Der of hard-fought races and money
In nearly every start. To drop from
nowhere into the select 2:05 circle In
short space OF two years Is an
achievement accredited to but few
racers. so that the Hoosier horsemen
who did not favor the long limbs ana

are now sounding his praises.
