MAKING A UNIFORM
It Was For the Crar, and He
Wanted It In a Hurry.
A SCARED CRIMEAN TAILOR.
When Pounced Upon by Hi* Maj**ty'*
General, Who Cloaked Hi* Million In
Mystery, the Knight of th* Shear*
Thought Hi* Tim* H*d Com*.
By special permission of the court
authorities an amusing account In pub
lished of tlio circumstances attending
tho ordering of a military unform by
tho czar from u little tailor In tho
Crimea, Khalm Kurlchkess by name,
who UveJ at Simferopol, the headquar
tore of the Crlmcau lira toons.
When the Imperial family cauio to
Llvldal. and Home day* Iwforo the an
nual fete of the Crimean dragoons, tlio
czar told the colonci that he had In
?tore a gift for him and the regiment
the czarlua had consented to become
their chief. Ills majesty added: "I
shall Ih> there when you and your of
ficer* are presented to the empress
and shall wear your uniform. Tho
only thing Is. I U'lleve | haven't tho
unirorm of the regiment. But that
doesn't matter. them Is time. If you
hutry. to liavo one made. Yon Heem

The colonel gave the came of Kurlch
kess, wherenpon his majesty asked him
to arrange that Kurlchkess should
make a uniform for himself, adding,
miilllnvr, "Tell him to do his best and
to turn It out as well in yours."
There Is next given a seriocomic de
scription of the alarm occasioned
among the Kurlchkess household, con
sisting of father, mother and nine chil
dren. when a handsome motorcar stop
ped outside their door and a cloaked
general o Ulcer descended.
The general said In staccato sen
tences: "You must come with me.
I Mn't lie frightened. You'll know
Inter where I'm taking; you. I can't
leave without you. We've lost much
time already. CSet dresned quickly."
The tailor obeyed, went with his cap
tor and was absent for four days.
Mine. Kurlchkess was doubtful wheth
er she was a wlfo or a widow.
Eventually tho tailor turned up safe
and recounted Ills adventures. The
drive with the general bad lasted two
hours and a half, lturlng the whole
Journey the general did not address a
single word to him. When they reach
ed their destination. Yalta, all he said
was. "Kbaitu Knrlchkcss, get out and
follow mo."
He was assured that he need not be
alarmed; he would be provided with
lodging and with food, and the next
day lie would be told why he had been
brought to Yalta and what he had to
do. He was told he need not try to
esca|>e, as he would be watched.
Ills fears were dissipated when n
colonel entered the room, and tho "gen
eral of generals" addressed him to the
following effect:
"Great good fortune has fallen upon
you. Ills majesty the emperor wishes
you to make for him n uniform of the
Crimean dragoons. Hut It must be as
good as that of the colonel of the regi
ment. 1 hope you won't make a mess
of It. I will take you at once to the
palace, where you will be admitted to
the czar's study to see his majesty's
figure."
When the "general of generals" took
Kurlchkess to the czar'u study his maj
esty was standing reading a document
with his back to the door. Some min
utes elapsed before he turned around.
In the meantime Kurlchkess was root
ed to the floor.
The czar on reallzlcg his presence
faced him and said: "Oh, you are here
already! You arc Khultn Kurlchkess.
the tailor. I want you to make me a
uniform of the Crimean dragoons. Do
your bet and see that It Is a good tit.
(Jet to work at once."
Kurlchkess went on to describe how
(Jod had helped him III Ills work and
how satisfied the czar had been with
tlio uniform and thanked him for It.
Kurlchkess refused to accept any
thing in payment, but "his" general In
sisted that, according to law. he was
obliged to receive 50 rubles for his
expenses. .Moreover, the general ndded.
the minister of the court was aware
that Kurlchkess was In debt, ami he
gave the tailor an envelope containing
300 rubles from tho minister to dis
charge his obligations.
Kurlchkess was driven back In a
motor to Simferopol, ind some days
later an Imperial messenger brought
to his shop a caso containing a gold
watch and chain. Tbe double eagle
was engraved on the w itch, which also
bore the Inscription, 'To Klialm Ku

A
Flower Thief
Br ESTHER VANDEVEER
A young girl at midsummer wu>
walking along n ?oud past a gentle
muii'H country plnco. Between her nod
a tlower garden was a low fence
Climbing the feneo, alio entered the
gardeA.
Somehow or other the flowers seem
etl to bo more beautiful tho farther she
advanced. Sbo was not the Hint girl
to bo led to tier doom by their seduc
tive beauty. At any rate, she wan
drawn farther and farther from the
fence. What inado tbo advance lntc
the enemy's territory more dangerou*
wait the prisoners sho took. In cam'
of a retreat they would be burden
some. Her prisoners, by the way, were
the Dowers she had plucked.
Finding herself among some belated
roses, she made more captives and
while bending to her work failed to
see the enemy ut a window In the
house, lie ran downstairs, out the
front door und. skirting the fence,
gained a position In tho girl's rear be
fore she saw him at all. Then when
he hud cut off her retreat he walked
toward her. Raring her back towurd
him. she was not aware of his pres
ence until he coughed to attract her at
tention.
Had this young man been bent on
punlshlug a poacher he would proba
bly have been too angry ut her depre
dations to be moved by her discom
fiture. As It was. ho thought It the
prettiest sight of his life. She stood
with the flowers In her skirt looped
to hold them, some of them fnlltng to
the ground, hanging her head, a piti
ful but a beautiful Bight. The young
man who had trapped her had done
so for amusement, nnd. though his
heart melted toward her, he determln
ed to play his game.
"If you had culled at the house," he
said, "und asked If you might gather
some flowers you would liavo been
glvcu permission."
She looked down nt the flowers she
held In her skirt, to nvold tho gaze of
the young man who had reproached
her. Presently she found her tougue.
"You might take them,'" she said,
"nnd put them In u vase nnd use them
to decorate the drawing room or the
dining tuble."
"No: that would not do at all. The
sentiment would be spoiled. How
would you llko to have flowers about
you that would remind you that you
had not been permitted to pluck them
yourself?"
The girl hung her head lower.
"Tho flowers in these bods are spoil
ed." continued the young man. "You
may as well tako tho rest of them."
And. whipping out his pooketknlfe.
he began to slay them by the dozens
Roses, violets, lilies, fell, nnd ns fast
as he cut their stems he tossed thorn
In with tho others. She looked nt him
with an expression more troubled than
ever.
"I'm very sorry," she fultercd. "that
I have spoiled all these flowers for
you. 1 don't see why. I haven't
touched them "
"You have spoiled the whole gnr
den," ho replied. "Como over here.
These are our favorite beds, since they
contuln the choicest varieties." And
he began cutting them ruthlessly.
"Please don't," she faltered. "Surely
I caunot have contaminated these."
"All blighted." ho persisted. And
ns they fell he tossed them at the re
ceptacle, which was now full to over
flowing.
"You'd better sit down on that
bench," he added. "And for a pun
ishment I'll bury you alive with blos
soms."
The flowers were falling nbout her
in such profusion that she was glad to
be seated so that she could hold them
In her lap He continued to pelt her
with them for a time. when, seeing by
her quivering lip that she would not
long tie able to restrain her pentup feel
ings. he desisted.
"1 think I should have something In
exchange for all this waste," bo said.
"Indeed, I should be glad to pay."
"In what coin?"
"I hnvo some silver with mo."
The young man Hmllcd. What Inno
cencol
"There's Just one llttlo thing which.
If you would glvo It me, would amply
repay mo for tho loss I have sus
tained."
Tho girl looked up hopefully. What
could It be?
"A kiss."
Again the eyes drooped to tho flow
ers In her lap. Sho was silent for
some time; then thero came In a weak
llttlo voice:
"I shouldn't think you'd care to kiss
a? thief."
She looked up. lie wos squared be
fore her. smiling at her. Her eyes fell
and were raised several times, nnd at
Inst she seemed to understand that he
had been guying her. She should have
seen through It all before, but sho was
barely sixteen years old.
He gathered up tho flowers for her.
remitting the penalty, nnd Insisted on
carrying them homo for her. And that
was tho beginning of It
Hut he had to pay dearly for his fun.
She never entirely forgave him for hu
miliating her. Years nfter the scene
of their meeting sho said: "You might
have won my henrt by offering mo the
flowers I was purloining. Instead you
antagonized mo by giving them to me
In a way that crusboa me."
The Innocence that enabled him to
crush her passed ofT and was succeed
ed by a woman's way of crushing him.
He spoiled many a Qjwer before he
got her.
