7. E. KRUMBHoLTz left Albany, N. Y. two
years ago in a wretched state of health and made
his home on the Saranac river. just opposite the
house now occupied by Robert Louis Stevenson.
and believes that if Stevenson remains at Sara
nae he will also recover his health. Mr. Krumb-
holtz says: Mr.. Stevenson rides sometimes.
but he comes all bundled up, and then simply
rides up and down long lane in front of his
house. I would not be surprised if he spent the
tried health resorts all Europe without
being so much benefited he is at the lake"
