Tho saplings I use I cut quite a distance from where I build tho trap, using tho hatchet for that purpose, nnd with my jack knifo I cut 1 and trim tho withes. Then I drive 1 tlirco stakes into the ground, and build up a three cornered trap, by laying ono sapling on top of anothor, after ' tho stylo or log hut building, until 1 hnvo got a coop four feet high and big enough to hold half a dozen tur- 1 keys, binding tho corners together with withes.

Whon ne was taking that trin that bore fruit in his book, 'An Inland Voyage," he met in Paris Mrs. Samuel Osborne, of San Francisco. She had married young Samuel Osborne, who was private secretary to Senator Stanford. She was n brilliant brunette. , Her husband had gone with her on a | vacation, but ho had been recalled. t She and Stevenson fell in love i at first sight Their literary and personal tastes ran in the same channels, and the author spent much time in her company. When she left for homo it was understood that she was to get a divorce from hor husband by means of the easy urocosses of the California courts, ana when this was accomplished Stevenson would come out to the Qolden State and make hor his wife. When Osborno was told of the desire of his wife ho mado no objection, and even gave his wife all the uid in his power. Tho result was that she obtained her freedom. Then the tidings were sont to the distant lover, and no prepared to come out in tho west for lus inamorata. Stevenson engaged passage in tho steerago of ono of tho great ocean ' lines, with the dosign of writing up g his cxpcrionco. Ho liad a sorry time t among the emigrants. This experience, g however, didnT cure him, as he took passago in an emigrant car and crossed the plains in that fashion. This was t< worso than the steerago trip, and the '( journey consumed two weeks. n When Stevenson reached San Fran- f nsco ho was a sorry object. Foul air t| uul poor food had reduced his strength uid he was a semi-invalid.
