Freddy Johnson, o bright, chubby
little fellow OF ak years, was sitting
by the fire, looking at the pictures in
the last Nursery, when his papa
said:

write letter which l wish you to
take to the post-oflice for me. Run
and put on your coat and hat. The
letter will be ready as soon as you
are"
"All right" said Freddie, who was
accustomed to obey without asking
questions-a rare trait In a little boy
Now, the post-office was half q
mile distant, aud Freddie had never
been there alone, though he had Of

courageous little fellow. and very
proud Of fdoing errands for his papa,

bis mammals help WAS soon iuuflled
upto his chin In overcoat and scarfs,
and when he came back for the letter
looked as if he could defy any storm.

get wet. Now when you get to the

"Yes, sir" said Freddie; and then
he whispered to his papa, do yon

"the dogs have all gone to bed, |

Freddie started off bravely. II
was very dark night, and he could
only see little way ahead, but on he
trudged, wading through the deep
snow, trying to whistle ss he bis Un-

followed Freddie. keeping bis eyes
on him all the way, TO see that no

When they had nearly reached home
Mr.. johnson hurried ahead, and was
calmly reading his paper when Fred
