are to the elect that the well ll0wn novel

statIng that he was In the best of health and
spIrits. Mr. Stevenson's readers are of the
rare Itlne who have a Ienulno enthusiasm
for the nuthor's work. The circle at atmlr-
ers becomes larger and the regard more
!
hearty wIth every new book that comes tram
I. hIs pen. To these renders who , like Philip
Gilbert Hamerton . fnd hIm "one at the most
. . perfect wrier living . " any toots which afB
' ? Cord a glimpse at his personality must be
Interesting and oC momen t ,
Hobert Louis Balfour Stevenson was In
45th year , a Scotcluuan , born In Edinburgh ,
November 13 , 1850. and proud of his nation-
aIRy , Il nee hardly be said. "Tho happiest
lot on earth , " he says In one oC his books ,
"Is to be born a Scotchman You must pay
for It In many ways , ns for all other advantages -
tages on earth. You have to learn the para-
phrases and the shorter - catechism : you gen-
orally take te drInk ; your youth , so far as
I cnn find out Is a time of louder war
against society , or more outcry and tears and
turmoil. than I you were born. for Instance ,
In England. lint , somehow , life Is warmer
and closer , the hearth burns more redly , the
lights of home shine softer on the rainy
street , the very names endeared In verse
and music cling nearer round our hearts. "
The author's Cather-Thomas Stevenson-
, ' was for many years . and probably Is still ,
'i an Inspector of lighthouses : and the author
dedicates one of his volumes to him "by
whose devIces the great sen.lghts In every
, quarter of the globe shine out more
. . "
- i brIghtly.
, At the time at his death , Jr , Stevenson
i , . had half completed the writing of a new
novel. One or his earliest wcrks was an ace
count of his travels In California . but the
work which established his reputation as a
wrier of fiction was "Treasure Island . " Pub-
lshed In 1883. Among the most pOIJular ) of
his works Is "Dr Jelyl and lr , Hydo. "
which was dramatIzed and played at the
Lyceum In\ \ Londm In 1888 , and sUbsequenty
In the United States. Among his other
works are "KIdnapped , " "Tho Nw Arabian
Nights , " "The Dack Arrow. " Some time '
tme
ago Mr. Stevenson , who was sufferIng from
lung trouble , vent to the S'uth PacIfic for
his health. 10 became enraptured wIth the I
Samoan islands Int decided } to take up h's '
residence anti spend the rest of his days S

adventurous story , "Treasur Island , " was ,
writen at the suggestion of a email boy a 1
