I cannot now: recall in their chronologi cal order the earlier books of Stevenson, hut, they yrnnp LIhohsuIvos in my mind as hooks of travel, i Tis is on a donkey in tho Covenncs. lie is puntiny his way with Sir Walter .Simpson in his canoo nlon/j; Dutch canals, drinking in thu still slum brous industry and etching the roofs of Amsterdam on his memory. JIu is voya^in^,' to Now York iu tins stoor- "agt'."' Ho is settled on the Suranac and toiling across the continent on mi cmi- Lcritii ( train; now on the Adirondacks and now iu California, mid t.lien back to Scot land. fxehnn^in# the drawl of the Ameri- L'an rivers for the tinkling hum of tho highlands, i hiinately he, is drifting iu l.rojiical -ca.T wayward, like a ^tilf, hut happy, like a lover to fix las home, on an island in the everlasting sunshine, where ho eon hi run barefoot like a Kanaka and writo like the Wizard of thu North when tho mood seized him. That this vagabondage was the mere re- Biiit of a dis(:iirsiyoJiitj/JJi;i:L.nnd-U.restless disposition I should-, not liko to nay. Doubtless an incipient invalidism had much to do with it. Ste.ven.c;on appears to have carried within him at an early period in his caret*r certain mortal Inis^ivin^s, faint intimations of physical disaster, and nothing is so apt to make tho imaginaiivo niati rush away from himself. IJ ut the result is shown iu his work. His mind is stored with pictures, not with conclusions, iIu lias not had lime to bo reflective only time to bo cognitive, and whenever and whon-ver ho turns from the concrete details to tho abstract mysleries of life, Ik; is like a Doro and not at all liko ft Turner. So lie created with a visual felicity and not wit.11 the 'diilosnphio insight. Jfe- made romance-s, braided his material according to :>. law of U.-auty into transient and y low ing det orations, but never wove theni hit o inimoial wnat lis. Criticism of the .soberer kind may now see clearly enough his limitations if it; will. "Treasure l-ikim!" remains to ns n boon, but unsung by the reviewers.

I 'J'be fact that lids woman was the wife, of j .Mr. .Samuel Osborne, does not appear to ' have particularly fretted the course of i true love. The woman must have per- cei'vi'd with an im-tairt intuition .home abeyant desires and proelivit Ies In .Mr. .Stevenson of which ho was only dimly aware himself. They came together, for explanations of each other tlwit rmb'ody else ertuld undcrslanil.

It Inokn very mueJi as if the absolute fitness of the hivon. was Mioli n< tn convince even the hie,hand. And what is still more rt-mark- uliie, the jtl'icr life of .Mr, Stevenson and i.tes this view. Very* lew, if any, dreamers have been able, to-si) Selkirk their dreams and pick their ui.-ui 1'Yidav.

Thh\k, to,,, nt' the reel user, being double. Would anybody but loversiht this? Would any woman who had livedin-I-'aris do it if she. were not mortally, iu love and were Jealous of 'the world? Somewhere in every observant man's life there comes a time when he must sit down and begin to think backward, for the. future is narrowing to a point. It crimes snoimr to the invalid than to others. "I. have been hurrying and fancying, I lived in a mub to get away from myself. Now I listen lo my wife and am content." lint Nature is not cajoled even by love. Alas! the lint breath of tho tropics that ol laved tho restless mind heated and 'thickened the bin id and Stevenson was .struck down by the voluptuous hand that had coddled and fanned him. So fell, in tin* promise of his intellect, a man so singularly lovable that even envy MUB. IU I., BTKVENSON. charming atory Iuls no btraln mul no apo- cial defect.

Personally and among fellow workers, Stevenson was a gonial, unobtrusive, but not, uiuMithusiastio companion, . Stevenson was a prolific writer and his work ranged from sketches of travel and tales of adventure to psychologic analyses and fairy legends. "Treasure Island," which was published in lf>S3, is one of tho most charming exploits of the imagination that our era has produced, but it does not mark the author's highest raime of abilit ies, which was probably reached in "The Master of JJallantrae." In all the work that preceded "Dr. Jckyll and IMr. Hyde" there were true in dications uf an ebulliency that belongs to youth or at least to an overflowing fancy. I hit when wo conic to..that hook wo got the strain of a function out of gear. The mistake of tho book, from an ethical point of view, is in making character -iopoiulent on u drug. But perhaps noouc could have reasoned or spun from tho same postulate wit h any greater artistic success; Few men have poured out tho same, amount of material in tho same time and o preserved the mean of excellence, audit i-, ibis fecundity, rather than any similar- iiy of style or purpose, that has made his admirers compare him loSir Walter Scott. lie utterly lacked Sir Walter's discipline ol family.

Ho tells us that "Treasure island" was written iu "two bursts of fifteen days," with a fallow gap between. And it was in these bursts that he was at Ids best. There Is ii'-'lireezo in that book that nothing hut tho writer's enthusiasm-could impart. You will look in vain for it in "Dr. Jelcyll." Taken altogether, his instincts, if not of the transcendental order, were pure and sweet, lie does not revel in misfortune or cruelty, and most of the boiiign Induences of nature found a response hi Ids sympa thies, That his best work was done can hardly hi) said of a man who dies at forty-four with an unimpaired intellect.
