Daughter of Alexis, One of
the Czar's Uncles.

Jimmy" Michael, the bicyclist
crack-a-jack, has had mysterious ro-

and is the greatest favorite among
the women.

Jimmy" was compelled to make
an exception in his disregard of
femininity two weeks ago, says the
New York World. While he was
training on the Pare des Princes
tracka beautiful girl suddenly dashed
from the riders quarters, to every
body's surprise, for in the mornings
only racers are admitted.
The girl took few leisurely turns,
then 'tacked on to- Michael's wheel,
keeping up tremendous gait at his
pace easily for two miles.
| The boy was unconscious that he
was followed until his trainer, grow
ing impatient, cried:
"Spurt twice around and drop the
lady, Jimmy"
Jimmy turned, saw the girl and
increased his pace, smilingly conf
dent that she wUuld be unable to fol-
low. But he was mistaken. Try as
he might he could not leave the girl
behind.
Finally the trainer, fearing that
Michael would be unfit for his after
noon ride, ordered him to desist.
The girl Immediately dismounted
and extended her hand to Jimmy"
saying, in English:

ARABIA'S POORHOUSE.
Such Is Termed the Date Palm Tree
from which Much Is
Obtained.

Mark Twain compared the palm
tree to "a liberty pole with a hay
cock on top of it," and the date tree
may be called both a poem and a
commercial product. To the Arab
mind it is the perfection of beauty
and utility. Rev. S. NJ. Zwemer, in
his book on Arabia, says that every
part of this wonderful tree is useful
to the Arabs.
The pistils of the date blossom con-
tain fine curly fiber, which is beat
en- out and used in all eastern baths
as a sponge for soaping the body.
At the extremity of the trunk is a
terminal bud containing whitish
substance resembling an almond in
consistency and taste, but hundred
times as large. This is a great table
delicacy.
There are said to be over 100 va
rieties of date palm, all distinguished
by their fruit, and the Arabs say
that "a good housewife may furnish
her husband every day for month
with a dish of dates differently pre-
pared"
Dates form the staple food of the
Arabs in a large part of Arabia, and
are served in some form at every
meal. Syrup and vinegar are made
from old dates; and by those who
disregard the Koran, even a kind of
brandy. The date-pit is ground up
and fed to cows and sheep, so that
| nothing of the precious fruit may be
lost. Whole pits are used as beads
and counters for the Arab children
in their games on the desert sand.
The branches or palms are stripped
of their leaves, and used like rattan
| for the making of beds, tables,
chairs, cradles, bird cages, boats, and
so forth. The leaves are made into
baskets, fans and string, and the
bast of the outer trunk forms excel
lent fiber for rope of many sizes and
qualities.
The wood of the trunk, although
light and porous, is much used in
bridge building and architecture, and
| is quite durable.
In short, when date palm is cut
down there is not a particle of it
that is wasted. This tree is the
'poorhouse" and asylum for all
Arabia; without it millions would
have neither food nor shelter. One
half of the population of Mesopo-
tamia live in date mat dwellings.

followed much longer. VIII you be
friends?"
"With pleasure" cried Jimmy"
MAY | inquire who does me such
honor?"
"Never mind my name. I will meet
you here every morning"
Thereupon the strange girl handed
her wheel to an attendant and en-
tered a luxurious closed carriage,
which had a coachman and footman
in full livery, and dEove off.
The manager of the Velodrome
was questioned, but could give no in
formation as to the identity of the
young woman, as servant had ar
ranged for the lady's riding daily,
paying handsomely for the privi-
lege.
Since that day the girl has been at
tending faithfully, rain or shine, and
is fast growing chummy with "Jins
N.Y." though when he questions her
or tries in any way to discover who
she is she grows sullen and leaves
abruptly
Naturally this has caused consider
able gossip among the habitues of
the track, and some have offered to
follow the carriage and find where
the girl lives, but Jimmy" has
threatened to break the head of any
body who tries to spy. on her.
She seems to be about 24 years old,
is of medium stature, refined, ath
letic and of surprising beauty. Ac-
cording to experts she rides the
wheel as no other woman ever did.
From the fact that her maid inad-
vertently twice called her princess"
and occasionally addresses her in
Russian, the Parisians incline to
think that she may be the natural
daughter OF Grand Duke Alexis, one
of the czar's uncles, the same young
princess about whom so much was
printed three years ago, who lives in
Paris in great splendor and proud
isolation

no silly or false sentiment, and she had
agreed with Mr.. Morton that the fact
of the engagement and near marriage
even for a short time. So Mrs. Ward
told her husband. He was not sur
prised. He had anticipated it.
''Yes, you're going to leave us, just
like all the rest" he said, in his banter
ing fashion, when Barbara came in
with some dishes to set the table. Mr..
Ward was in the reading-room, and
Barbara stepped to the door and greet
ed him. lone of the rules of your nj w
training school ought to be: No girl
who graduates from this school to go
out to service shall be allowed to get
engaged or married for at least five
years. What is going to become of all
the competent girls if all follow your
bad eXample?'
"I'm sure | don: know" Barbara
answered, demurely.
"Won't you and Morton take us in to
board when you begin housekeeping? =?
I'm so used to your cornbread mullins
and coffee for breakfast that know

any other kind"
81 don't know" Barbara replied,
laughing. "It is possible that we may
have a hired girl ourselves"
"Do you think so?" Mr.. Ward said,
with pretended joy. "Then Mrs.
you for deserting us, for you will then
have the agony of the servant girl
problem on your own hands and know
how it is from the other side of the
house"
perhaps that is one of the reasons
am going to have home of my own,
Mr.. Ward. l shall be able to see the
question from both standpoints.''
81 hope you'll be spared our trou-
bles," Mr.. Ward spoke in really Sc
rious tone this time. Then he added
with great heartiness: "The Lord
bless you, Barbara. You have been
like daughter to u.s." He choked as
he remembered Carl in Barbara's arms

so, / thank you, Mr.. Ward. 1t means
everything to me-" and Barbara re-
tired somewhat hastily to the kitchen,
where some tears of joy and feeling
dropped on the familiar old table
where Carl had so often sat watching
her at work.
That evening Mr.. Morton called.
Barbara had finished her work, and
was sitting with the family as her
custom was. when Morton came in.

meant an end of doubt or fear. She
might discuss with him the probable
results to his social or professional
standing, but she would never torture
his mind or distress her own by vain
regrets or foolish anticipations. The
great truth of their love for each other
filled them both.
They were so absorbed in their talk
that they did not hear Mrs. Clark
when she came into the room. Then
Mr.. Morton was suddenly aware of her
presence, and he instantly rose and
went over to her.
Mrs. Clark" he said, 81 took ad-
vantage of your absence to take your
daughter from you. But l will try to
make up for it in part by giving you
loving and dutiful son, if you will
accept me as such"
Without waiting for her reply,
which he easily read in her smiling
face, he turned to Barbara, who had
come to his side.
what did you say, Barbara?" Mrs.
Clark asked as she faced them both,
thinking to herself that she had never
seen so much real joy in two faces
anywhere in the world.
ooh, mother!" Barbara cried, 81
have given him my answer" She laid
her head on her mothers breast as
she used % do when she was a little
girl, and Mrs. Clark felt with the pain
full joy of a good mothers heart that
the worlds old story had come into
her daughters life, and that hence
forth this man had become to Bar
bara all in all without displacing the
mother from her rightful share of af-
fection.
They had many things to say now,
and neither Barbara nor Mrs. Clark
offered serious objections to the earn

Morton blessed her as she shut the
door. There are some things in the
love chapter of youth that cannot be
told except to the heart of youth it.

He went quickly over to where Bar
bara was seated on the other side of
the table, and before she had time to
be frightened he said, looking at her
with loves look: Barbara, l love
you, and want you to be my wife and
share all with me. VIII you?"
Barbara sat all in a tumult, her
heart beating fast, as in dream won
dering at it all. And it sounded very
sweet to her. For she loved him truly.
But she said, as she stood by the table
looking at him: "But-I-cannot. 1t
would be-"
"Tell me, Barbara" he said, sud-
den smile lighting up his pale face,
and his use of her name was again
music to her, tell me only one thing
first. Do you love me?"
"Yes!" she cried, and it seemed to
her as if one person in her had spoken
to another, compelling the answer;
and the next moment, she could not
realize how, but it was like a world s
life to her, his arms were about her,
and in that moment she knew that
for better, for worse, she had put her
life into the lot of sharing with his.
Lovers do not count time like other
people. After awhile he was saying:
"But tell me, Barbara, how l am to
make my peace with Mrs. Ward. For,
when she learns that am going to get
her hired girl, she will never forgive
me-"
Then Barbara's face grew grave.
"Do you realize, Mr.. Morton, what
| you have done? Can a young man
with your position and prospects af-
ord-to-to-marry hired girl?
Oh, if you had not compelled me to say
Yes SO soon! I might have saved
you from making the mistake of your
life"
Barbara" he answered, with sud-
den sternness that was assumed,
without answering her question, IF
you ever call me Mr.. Morton again,
/ shall" he left his threat unfnished;
but he had possession of her hand as
he spoke, and Barbara looked up at
him and said softly: "What shall /
call you?"
"Say-"
Yes. What?" Barbara asked, inno-

''Well, then" he went on, joyously,

"You have taken advantage of me!'
she exclaimed, brightly, and then,
with glowing face looking into his,
she repeated the words, whispering
them. And, when she had finished,
they were both reverently silent,
while her eyes were wet with tears
of solemn joy. They did not either of
them realize all they had pledged to
each other; but the God-given, hu-
man-divine spell of love was upon
them, and the blessedness of it swal-
lowed up all fears of the future. Once
