One of the proudest monuments to
the memory of -that benevolent despot,
peter the Great, la the Imperial library
'of Russia, established, by' him in 1714.
Present ranking places it third among
the world's groat libraries, preceded
only by by the National library at
Tarls and that of the British museum
at London. It contains a million and
a half volumes and 20,000 manuscripts.
The most lmportaut accession it ever
received was probably at the time of
the suppression of the Society of Jesus
In Russia, when most of the Jesuit
collections were transferred to the im
perial library. Among them was the
famous collection of Count Zaluski,
cou-slsting of IttSO.OOO volumes and 10,
000 manuscript, which had been In
stalled at the Jesuit college In Warsaw.
The most lmportaut manuscript In the
library is the "Codex Slnaltleus" of the
Greek Bible, brought to Russia by. Prof.
Tischendorf In 1S00 from the Convent
of St. Catharine on Mount Siual. New

OLA "PINOCHLE."
OA4 Oirarrr Who la Oetttaa; Itleh
Off Needa of Cornell Stadenta.
With the close of the school year at
Cornell University, Aaron Wells, more
widely known at "Pinochle," reaps a.
golden harvest. Ftnudents who are
hard up go to him at this time and
borrow money, sometimes on notes and
frequently "on houor" oidy, but they
one and hU hove to pay old Pinochle
fat Interest.
Wells began business there ten years
ago practically without n dollar. Too
iwor to pay rent, ho stood on the street
ofTerlng to buy second-hand wearing
apparel of any kind. Now he has a
pretentious clothing store and It Is ns
much of a landmark as the Dutch
Kitchen or the ollice of the registrar of
the university. Five men are now em
ployed by the Industrious clothier, who
makes a small fortune in this business
alone.
Ills open's still hang around on tho
corners, but Pinochle only goes up the
bill when telephoned for. Every once
in a while swell fraternity men will
summon him up to tho house ami there
Is a grand clearance sale. Suits that
have only been worn for one Benson,
dross clothes that are a bit too small,
oven-flats of the most fashionable
styles, all arc thrown toward the little
clothing man with the query, "What
am I bid?" Sometimes the clothes are
fairly worn out; more often the owner
Is pretty hard up, and In both cases
they are sold for a ridiculously low
price.
A suit that cost $10 will go to rin
ochle for and dress coats and over
coats bring from $5 to $10. Sometimes
the student will kick, but the best he
can get out of the Imperturbable dealer
Is: "Well, I'll match you. Five dol
lars or nothing." And even at this
game he usually wins. lie makes about
BUO per cent on every artliita he buys,
but the students need tho money, so
they let it go.
Rut It Is In tho money-lending busi
ness that Wells has acquired the great
est celebrity. Almost any fraternity
man In Ithaca with whom he has done
business In clothes, or any well-to-do
student who can get nn Introduction to
lilin, can make a "touch" when he Is
hard up. and thousands of dollars are
loaned out every year. Money to go
home on, to bet on football, baseball
and track games and crew races, to
pay bills that are about to be sued on,
to iday poker with in fact, money for
everything can be obtained from Wells.
In small sums or large, It makes little
difference. Sometimes the men leave
town without paying up; there have
been cases of loans as high as $300
standing out for years, but In the end
they are collected. Either the borrow
ers themselves pay or their parents pay
for them, as Pinochle keeps close watch
nnd knows the addresses of all his
clients. IIo Is the best pinochle player

MUTUAL SERVICE. $
The experience of Capt. Robert Ben
siiam. during troubles with tho Indians
In Ohio In 1778, Is one of the strangest
i;i tho history of Indian warfare. Tho
author, of "The Ohio Hlver" gives n
description of It. "Having broken
through the line of Indians during a
bat tle, Inham made his escape, though
wounded by a muskct-hall In both lex
liear the loins. He readied an immense-
fallen tree, crawled under it.
and lay still through the ensuing ni;;!it
and the next day. In bitterest pain.
"On the evening of the second day
he shot n raccoon on a tree near by,
hoping by some means to get nnd cook
It. At the crack of his musket the
sound of a human voice reached him.
In a moment's time he reloaded nnd
awaited the Indian's approach, resolv
ed to fight to the last extremity. The
voice sounded nearer.
" 'Whoever you are,' were the be
seeching words, 'answer me.' And at
the words a borderer, shot through
both nrnis, came into sight.
"The comrades were unspeakably
pleased ench to find the other, for be
tween them they had a pair of anus
and a pair of legs, and therefore some
hoie of life and escape. As best he
could, Renhain dressed all the wounds,
nnd tlten proceeded to cook some food;
ull that could be done with arms and
hands renham - did, cooking, loading
and firing the gun.
"Ills comrade, having the rims of n
hat placed between his feet by Ren
hain. waded Into the river and secured
sudiclent water for their needs; he also
drove wild turkeys near enough to Hen
ham to allow him to bring some down,
and then he kept tossing them with
the to of his boot toward camp until
they were within Reuham's reach. Ry
the -amo means he kept his partner
supplied with wo.hI.
When the wounds healed and ths
men could travel, thjy camped at tin
mouth of Licking River In the hope
of being picked up by n passing Hat
boat. Near the last of November a
boat was balled, and although It took
some time to prove that they were
not such savage as their appearance
Indicated, they were taken on board
ind curried to Louisville."

ePfter p&ny Years
i ' ", i 'O
The boat cnnie forward steadily.
The man on the shore .of the little Is
land shaded his eyes with his hand as
he stared neross the shining water.
A frown rested on his sun browned
face.
A girl was the only occupant of tho
boat' nnd she was pulling at the oars
with n strong and steady swing. She
looked over her shoulder occasionally
nud kept the nose of the craft headed
toward the watcher on the shore.
The watcher, his frown deepening,
suddenly put his hands to his mouth
and called to her through the Impro
vised megaphone.
"This Is private property!" he shout
ed, and there was a warning note' In
his clear voice.
The girl looked over her shoulder
nnd smiled again, but the boat did not
change Its course.
"You must not land hre," he
shouted.
The girl pave no Indication that she
heard the warning. Her steady pull
brought the. boat nearer and nearer.
The man' took a few steps forward,
but before he could utter any .further
protest the bow f the craft grated on
the- sands and tho girl lightly leaMil
out, drew lt still further up to the
liench. Then she leaned back against
the boat and looked at him.
She was n handsome girl, with thick
masses mf black hair ami a clesr olive
complexion and big brown eyes. The
man, despite his near-sighted eyes, the
eyes of the scholar who had read not
wisely, but too well, knew that she
was beautiful, with the added charm
! of healthful youth, and then something
' nbont -the directness of the glance she
gave him vaguely troubled his mind.
He ran his hand through his gray hair,
j ns he always did when confronted with
j n bothersome problem, and his frown
j grew darker.
I "Didn't you hear my warning''" he
asked. j
Piie smiled, but her eyes did not
I leave his face.
' "t beard you calling," she answered.
I Her voice was very pleasant. The man
ran his hnt.M through his hair agnln.
"This Is private property," he said.
"The Island Is mine. I permit no visit
ors to land here."
"And you live here all alone?"
"Yes.?
"Thejf call you the Island hermit.
You really ore a hermit?"
"I suppose I nm."
She raised her rounded brown arm
And pointed to tho nearby clump of
trees.
"Is that your bungalow?"
"Yes."
"I would like to see It."
He stared at her in surprise.
"I have told you that I do not wel
come visitors," lie said.
She looked away from him and
turned and drew tho boat a little high
er on tho sands.
"I rowed across from Millport," she
Bald with a wave of her hund, "Just to
eeo you. It Is three miles, they say. I
am a Httlo tired nnd d little hungry."
The man was bothered. He twisted
the corner of his short gray mustache.
It was another trick that Indicated
perplex I tV,
"I would rather you would go away,"
be said.
She shook her pretty head ot him.
"No," she told blm, "I am quite sure
you don't mean that. Anyway, I can't
go. I'm too tired."
He drew a long breath.
"Come," he said.
She was by his side ns ho turned to
ward' the bungalow. She had kept
atop with hliu ns they moved along.
Her hatless head came just above his
boulder. How lightly yet how firinly
she walked, what beautiful embodiment
of grace and strength she was. How
proud n father might bo of such a
laughter. A sudden pain thrilled tho
man's heart, n sigh broke from his lips.
Then he felt the tender touch of the
girl's fingers on his arm, but when he
turned she was looking away.
"You do wrong to comu here," bo
sharply suld.
"No," she answered. There was
something oddly mullled about her
Yolce, and she did not look at him.
He said no more, but when they
reached the door of tho bungalow he
looked at her again and now her clear
brown eyes met him with a smile of
confidence.
"Come in," he said, as ho led tho
way.
She stopped abort and mado hltn a
little courtesy.
"Am I quite welcome?"
There wa Bometblnk winning about
Iter smile.
"You are welcome," he gravely re
plied to her question.

She looked at the well filled shelve
that lined the wulls of Uu big sitting
room.
, "You are not entirely alone?" she
said.
"No," he answered, "I have many old
friends here." And his eyes wore n
loving expression as they regarded the
long row of books. t
"And hero Is where you do your
writing," she c-!ed, os she turned to
the littered table. "And here Is your
typewriter. Oh, I'm very clever at
typewriting. I'm sure you'd find me
useful." She stooped and caught up a
page of manuscript. "What a clear
hand you write," she said. "It would
be delightful to copy It." Hut he had
opened an Inner door and disappeared
through a hallway. Then the girl Iir
pulslvely lifted the written page to h.r
lips.
"fill way," called the man's voice,
and she dropped the sheet and followed
him. "Here Is where I usually eat,"
herald, and pointed to n smaller room

with an outlook neroNs the blue waters

of the bay to the distant wooded
shores. '
"It Is charming." cried the girl.
"Hut one could scarcely Vat nnd watch
the view, too."
"I have little to o.Ter you," said the
man. "Once a week a boatman rows
over from Millport and brings me cook
ed meats and bread and such other
supplies as seem needful. I have my
own Icehouse and my wants are not
many. I am here only through the
warmer months. When the stormy
season comes I go back to my rooms
In the city."
It was the longest pjieoeb. he had
made. The girl accepted lt as a friend
ly overture.
"I nm sure there w 111 bo something
good for n hungry girl's appetite," she
cried. "And now you must let me set
the table and find everything all by
myself. I nm going to prove to you
that I can be useful In more ways than
one. I want your good opinion. If
there was any chance I would be glad
to shim- you how nicely I can cook.
Hut there, please, you mustn't be hero
to look on. Co Into the study and wait
until I cnll you."
"I know I should have sent you
away."
"I'm sure you don't really think so."
He shook his gray head at her and
turned a way.
When he reached bis study and seat
ed himself and picked up a favorite
Isjok his thoughts were till on the
girl. Her face smiled at him from
printed pages, her words mingled with
the text. What a beautiful episode
this was In his lonely life.
And yet he knew be should have sent
her away.
Hark! She was' singing.
What a tender voice It was. What
was the song? Something new to him
Hut the song was of Httlo account It
wa.s tho tender voice.
And then suddenly she darted by the
window and he saw her running to
ward the beach. Was she deserting
him? A little pang of regret shot
through his heart. No. here she was
coming back with a basket swaying
from one of those strong, young bunds.
Well,, he would yield himself to her
Influence. There was little sunshine In
his life; lie would bask in these new
rays for the few hours before the night
obscured them.
"Come, Mr. Hermit," cried the girl
from the passageway, "luncheon Is
served and awaits you."
He arose and obeyed the summons.
How attractive she bad made the ta

to its uppearauce was there and a
bunch of flowers adorned the center.

some ret-ognltlon of ter efforts to
please hltn.
"You have been to much trouble," he
said.
Her eyes dawed with pleasure.
"I am very gi ld It please you." Bhe
n.iid. Sho looked at blm curiously.
"What Is It?" he asked.
"It will keep." she answered.
Then she held up her hand.
"Well?" be asked.
"I think I ought to sny a little
grace," alio said. ,'That Is, if you ap
prove."
lie gravely bowed his head.
"Dear Lord." she slowly said, "grant
us the spirit to accept whatever thou
glvcst. be It Joy or 1k It sorroy, with
perfect trust though Imperfect under

will follow sorrow quite as surely as
sorrow follows Joy. Amen."
The troubled look was In his eyes
when he raised hU bend.
"What do yon know of sorrow?" he
abruptly asked. .'
"Very little." she answered. "No
doubt I should and shall know more."
"(Jod forbid." he hastily cried. "Hut
vou have told nte nothing about your-

"And you have shown no curiosity."
"What Is your name?"
"Ah. what mailers names? More
especially on a desert Island. I'm Just

She laughed merrily.
"I'm a woman and unite old enough

for a girl who had tried to do her fee

"1 beg yonr pardon," ho said con
tritely. "Let me at once make

His mood suddenly changed. His
eyes brightened, his wit sparkled. He
was no longer the absorbed scholar, fce
was the delightful raconteur, the
charming companion.
And the girl watxhod and listened
with nmazed anil admiring gaze.
"How proud those who love yon
should be of you," she suddenly cried.
Ills face darkened, his mood changed.
"There Is no one," ho said.
''No one?"
He shook his head.
"I am quite alone."
Then his sorrowful gnze turned to
ward the blue waters of tho bay. His
brow wrinkled.
"What Is ItV'.sbe asked.
"I do not like the looks of the sky,"
he said. "You should return at once.

She looked at him with her gently

"Hut I'm not ging back," sho said.
He stared at her.
"Not going back?" k
"No." I came hero to stay. I have
a right to stay and thero Is no other

"Wh-what do you mean?" bo stam

"I I enn't keep th's piny up any

she cried. t
"Evelyn," be repented. Ho could nrt

"I nm Evelyn, father."
Ills arms slowly opened, his ejes

"I ran away, father. I was tired of

He gently touched her wnvy hair. He
