Robert Louis Stevenson.

Fifteen years ago,a party of Is artists
were encamped on the banks of the
Seine. In a friendly discussion the
question arose as to which one of them
could best be spared by the world at
large. A secret ballot was taken; Il
votes We're found to have been cast for
Robert Louis Stevenson.
When. however. the time came for
the world to give him up, there seemed
to be another view of the case. a unani-
nous decision that we could mott spare
him. He had led us in through the
ivory gate and shown us things the
eye had not seen. Living on the en-
thusiasm of his art he had beaten
back death time after time and only
succumbed when he had craven his
name on the altar of Fame; imperish-
able.
When child, Stevenson was always
i'll; it is one of the marvals of his life
that all its wealth. all it's immensely of
brilliant achievement. has been accom-
plished in spite of a continuous strug-
gle for existence.
At the age of 81, he published his
first story. Then his enemy for life,
consumption. put in appearance, and
the young man was completely in
valided. The same year he published
his second work entitled "Ordered
South" OF this last work, Stevenson
says: 1T took me nearly three months
to write it. Nobody eyer had such
pains to learn trade as / had, but 1
sIogged at it, day in and day out; and
l frankly belieye-thanks to my dire
industry have done more with
smaller gifts than almost any man of
letters in the world"
Stevenson was 81, however. when his
first novel was completed 1t was
Treasure Island" and it made him
famous. Begun at Bralmar in the
Scotch Highlands, it was finished in
Davos, Switzerland. the whole accom-
plished in two '.spurts" of Is days each
his quickest piece of work.
During the II years of his life which
remained.he wandered about the world
in search of air that could be breathed
into his Infinitely delicate lungs. and

Emmet's Instruction.

'-'iit VI tiiC SduutSl DdSeS Ill the his
tory Of the world is the story of the
fall of ireland. For centuries the arts
and sciences flourished on the Emerald
Isle. Happiness and prosperity dwelt
in the land. To the plain honest peo-
pie their country was their altar; their
homes sacred shrines. Then came
dreadful and devastating war. For
many year, fire and the sword stalked
through the rich fields. Justice was
driven from the courts. Old men and
children were murdered, women vio-
lated, husbands torn from their wives.
The beautiful island was left desolate,
her homes in ruins, her people in
chains. No stone was left unturned
that would help to bring whatever OF
the spirit of freedom was left in the
sons of Erin. The most effective tool
was religion. What should have bound
these forsaken people. broke them. The
English leaders saw in the jealousies
existing between the Protestants and
Catholics of France a most awful
weapon. They swung it with all it's
force. 1t fell on the heads of the
Catholics in the form of laws unequalled
for injusticeand inhumanity. NoCatho-
lie could practice law, vote at elections
or sit in Parliament.
