Russia a Puzzle Even to ToIstoy.

"How can one understand chaos" is the reply Count Ilya Tolstoy, son of the famous Leo Tolstoy, writer, philosopher and mystic, made to the question as to his interpretation of conditions in Europe.
 If such man as Count Tolstoy is at sea in regard to Russian affairs, it is surely pardonable for Americans to be in ignorance of them. The count says that the real Russia has not been consulted at all in the recent changes there. The real Russia is peasant Russia and peasant Russia has been ignored. The count pleads for Ameri- can sympathy for his people, who. he says. have heen deceived and misled ''The crime of all the Russian leaders" he says. 'is that they have been fol lowing their own programs and ignor ing the peasants, the masses" What will come out of the present chaos the count professes he does not know.

BOY HAD SPIRIT OF HIS RACE
How the Captains Boy, Mackinnon, of the cameronia Helped to
 Allay Panic.

In the report of the torpedoing of the Anchor liner Cameronia with troops in the Mediterranean last sum- mer, mention was made of the splen- did conduct of the captains boy, Mack innon. This youngSter was on the bridge with the captain when the ship was struck, and he did much to allay the excitement by shouting through the megaphone to the troops, keep your heads, men. Dinna get excited. It's a richt. Nae hurry" and so on. The sight of the small boy with megaphone as big as himself advising the soldiers to keep cool made many boy did many other things, and at the end the captain found he had dis Obeyed orders and was still on the bridge when everyone else had left the ship. When the captain told him to ''clear out he said, I'll no go till you go sir" The captain then caught him by the coat and slung him overheard into the destroyer before jumping him. self. An eyewitness on the destroyer described seeing the captain and the boy on the bridge of the sinking ship.
 I hear now that Mackinnon went down in the Tuscania. Probably lie behaved there as he did on the Cam eronia, and the death he just missed in the Mediterranean came to him off the Scottish coast.

 Fear finally brought him to his senses. for he became aware that Rosa had collapsed and that his endearments left her unthrilled. Quickly he bore her to the bench and laid her upon it. After time she smiled up into his eyes and her words were scarcely more than murmur:
