 Ray" she said, ''I shall need you thls morning to take care of baby, for Ehave big days work planned, and baby is not quite we'll.
 Ray had plans, too, but he only said, cheerily:
 ''All right, motherr' and he brought out his building-bl and began to build wonderful palace to amuse his little sister. It rose slowly. columns, towers and steeples, until it was nearly finished, when Baby May touched it with her tiny foot and down it came with crash.
 Naughty babyr' cried Ray, but when he saw the grieved look on her face, he said, quickly: Its all right, baby! I'll build another"
 He amused the little girl for long time, until grandma called him.
 II wish you would find my spec tacles, Ray" she said. live mislaid them somewhere"
 'All rightr' was the boys answer. and he searched patiently until he found them.
 ''Thank you, dear," said grandma You are eyes and feet for me- Then his mother called him to go for basket of chips.
 And don't be gone long," she called after him.
 ''All rightr' was Rays answer as he hurried away to the wood-pile. He had filled his basket when three of his schoolmates came along.
 We're going nutting," called Phil. Come on, Ray!"
 II can't" answered Ray, slowly; "Tve got to help mother"
 ''Oh, what babyr' laughed Jack Newman. "'Fore I'd stay at home like a girl! Come Orwell have jolly funn
 But Ray shook his head, and hurried in with his chips.
 How he did want some chestnuts! It was great temptation, but he still hoped he should have little time be- fore night for a run over the hill where number of chestnut trees grew. His mother met him at the door.
 ''Dr Sheldon has been here," she said, land he wants you to take a package of medicine over to Mrs. Bel den. So eat your dinner and start at once"
 Its long way" faltered Ray, while the tears came into his eyes.
 ''I am sorry," his mother answered, ''but the doctor has been so kind to us l could not refuse. He had to go away on the train
 ''It's all rightr' said the boy, trying : to smile, and he started off, whistling, with the package safe in his coat pocket. Up long, steep hill, then down again, and over dreary stretch of level, until at last he was glad to see the big white house of Mir. Belden.
 The door was opened by Rosa Bel den, to whom he gave the package.
 You must come in and see mother" said the young lady, and she took him in to her mothers room. Mrs. Belden was lying on the lounge, looking very pale. She took Rays hand in hers, and drew him to her.
 1.-The doctor calls you Little Prince All-Right,'" she said, smiling ''He says he can always trust you. 1 am glad to shake hands with such good little prince. Rosa, we must pay him for coming so far"
 ''Oh, please, it's all right" said Ray. ''I don't want any thing"
 "Do you like chestnuts?" she asked.
 "Oh yes. marm," said the boy, but I haven't picked any yet"
 ''Rosa," said the lady, ''bring the new peck basket. You see, dear," she said to Ray, i've have two large trees back of the house. but so near, the bad boys don't dare to steal them; and we don't care for chestnuts at all, so we shall be glad to have you have thCm."
 ''Oh, how jollyr' cried the delighted boy, and he tried to thank her, but she stopped him.
 Run along, little prince" she said. ''and pick as fast as you can; and when the mailman comes along, Rosa will call you, and you can ride all the way home"
 Such chestnuts the boy had never seen, and they lay in little heaps on the ground. It was fun indeed to pick them. In a very short time he had filled the basket, and all his pockets besides.
 Then he had anice ride home, where he found his two cousins, who had come to visit hi m.
 What a feast they had!
 Chestnuts boiled, and chestnuts roasted; chestnuts hot, and chestnuts cold.
 And Little Prince All-Right'' was very happy, contented bOy.-JuliG D. PecE, iR YOuth's COnpdnaOn.
