The family were aecu:- domed to lunch on board during tho brief stay oL the ship in the harbor. Ice is not manufactured in Africa as It is ill Honolulu, ho that Ice-cream- was always s rved on theso occasions an a special delicacy. On the voyage down Mrs. Stev enson launched on board the Alameda and was quite as striking in her appear ance as was her husband. She l? an In diana women, her relatives still llvo In or near annap'Olis, and went out to Cali fornia, where sh6 distinguished herself as an artist. Fron San FrapclsCo she w ont to Tai ls to continue her a*l studio**, and it was thorA that she inot Mr. Stev enson, whom she married after being divorced from her iirst husband. She wore her hair short and that day was clad in a cotton hola ku? the flowing gown worn by the women of Hawaii and afterward introduced into Samoa and adopted by tho Christianized native* there. Mr. Stevenson's residence, as 1 have ?ald, was some distance form the coast. It was fitted up luxuriously, costly furnlaure having been brought out from Hondon, with a large library. In which, however, lie never worked, prcfering to write re clining in his f>ed early in the morning. ?"the house Is lilted with priceless bric a-brac, rare thlnn, ctehlnrn and engrav ings, but. like all dwellers ill tho tropics, the family lived ebb lly out of doors and upon the piazzas which ran around the er.ilr house. Mr. Stevenson himself planned tho house an 1 superintended its oust ruction. l.'e employed native sor v.'i.ts and wr.n fond of having tho simple, (hlld lilce pcopl ? about him, and they in torn look-d up to him a.s tli<ir faithful fri? ml w ith e >r responding affection nnd rcvrrcnci'.

Ilo wwte at thut > tlmo ho hud gained a "con/patency of health" during tho voyage/ but ho has Dover since felt It nafo to leUye his South in home, though ut different times a vls it to Kngland has been j?romlMed. At tho beginning of last year Mr. Stevenson said In a letter: "The truth is thut I wus far throrgli and came none too soon Ytt?Jho South ?< as, where 1 was to re eovVr peace of body and mind." Mr. Stevenson ihv r allowed suffering or weariness to hold him Idle. Much oi his writing was done In bed, In Intervals between pain, as r. prisoner in the dull Utile parlor of some health resort he wroto many pages breathing out only life and strength and active enjoyment. Dur ing the last year Mr. Slevf iison accom pll^h^d a great deal of work; several new hooks were Issued, and still another Is In tho hands of bis publisher. Mr. Stevy nson's house at Samoa Is ^Hu nted oil a (plateau of land, about three miles hack) from Apia at tho font of the mountains j and commands ti mnnglcent vfetoy of thjb ocean. From tho cool, wide vuraiiila^'ext. ndlng completely around tho house, both on t !>?* lower and upper doors, tho view Is beautiful In the ex treme. l.ooking through the arching tops of wonderful lives, with their pend ant decorations, exquisite views of the oeean are obtained. Tho walls of the dining roonj are cover-? ed with a tapestry of the native cloth, made from the bark of the paper mul berry, tinted a rich terra-cot ta color. Ov< r a wide llre-p'ace ? the only one In Samoa ? bangs a largo oil pah}UUM-o? J&V.t Stevenson's father, and off one side a portrait In oil (painted by Mrs. Steven son) of her son Idoyd Qinorne, when he was 7 years of agc.^ ;The fire-place Is qnlto n necessity drtrlng some of the months on ace ml hi of th<\ elevation, and Mr. Stevenson has a fire made every morning. Tho appearance of ihe novelist and his wife has been thus described by a writer: "Ilo now sits at the foot of the table, rolling a cigarette In his long, limp fin gers and talking eagerly the while, with J'ist enough trace of Scottish intonation to remind one that he is the author of "Thrown Janet" and the cr ??tor of "Alan Hreek Stewart." Ho has still the stir and manner of a young man. for ill ness has nelth< r tamed his mind nor aged his body. Tt l>a? left Its mark, liowever. In the pallor of his long oval face, with its wide-set eyes, straight nose and thln llppcd, sensitive, mouth scarcely shad ed by a light mustache, the Jest and seo rn of his more ribald intimates. Ills Jong dark hair straggles with an irregular wave down his neck, a wisp of It occasionally falling over his ear and having to be replaced with it light gesture of tho hand. Ilo Is dressed In a black velvet jacket, showing at the throat the looso rolling collar of a white flannel probably thrown over his shoulders an ancient maroon-colored shawl, draped something after the. fashion of a Mexican poncho. When he.Atands up you see that he Is above the middle height and of a naturally lithe and ar;il figure. Ho still moves with freedom and grace, but the stoop of. his shoulders tell a tnle of suf fering. , "Opposite! to him sits Mrs. Stevenson, a woman of small physical stature, but surely of heroic mold. H>'r features are clcariy-cut and d- llcate, but marked by unmistakable strength of character; her hare of an unglo^sy black, and her com plexion darker than would be expected In woman of Dutch-American race. J have heard her speak of u Moorish strain In her ancestry, whether seriously or in jest. I know not. Beneath a placid, though always alert and vivacious exterior, Mrs. Stevenson conceals much personal sufT. r ing and continual anxieties, under which many a stronger woman might well br< ak down. Her personality, no less than her husband's Impresses its-- 1 f potently on all who have Ihe good fortuno to beJM^com ed at her home. ' Tho following verses from Mrs. Stev enson's "I'ndcrwoods" s'wn to have a direct bearing upon Ihe uovellst-poet.s scpult lire: "t'nder the wide and storm'y sky Dig the grave; and let them lie. CJlad did I live and gladly die, Arid I laid me down wi.ii a will. "This be the verse you grave for me: IK(b he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor from the rea.
