Stevenson first came here about eight years ago to get mtimed, llis bride ho had met in France when she was the wife of a Cali¬ fornian. When Stevenson waa taking that trip that bore fruit his book, “An Inland Voyage,” he met In l’arui Mr*. Samuel Osborne, of San Franc Leo. She came of Dutch parentage, her maiden uame being Van Dcgrift, but she had married young 8am Onborn*, who waa private secretary to Senator Stanford and somewhat < f a protege of the railroad millionaire. She w as a brilliant brunette with the vivid coloring and many of the tartes of a gypsy. Her bua'and had gone with her on a vacation, but h* had been recalled on business, anil she was then staying with friends in the French capital. Bile and Stevenson fell in love at first sight. Their literary and per¬ sonal ta les ran in tho same channel*, and the author spent much time in tier company.

Everything was carried out according to this programme. When Bam Osborne wax told of the desire of his wife he made no objection, hut, like a model American husband, gave his wife all tlie aid in his power. The result was that she obtained her freedom. Then the tidings were sent to the distant lover, and lie prepared to come “out into the West” for his inamorata.

He had a hack- ing cough spat blood, and had Contract¬ eff a troublesome skin ditease from herd¬ ing with unclean emigrants. Foul air and iioor food had reduced his strength, and lie was a semi-invalid. He was re¬ ceived. however, with open arms.

The marriage feast was very gay, and soon after it was over Stevenson went with his bride to a dererted mining camp on Howell mountain, in Napa county, to recuperate his health.
