them what they were going to do. They
replied that they were not certain as vet,
but at last | saw a report IN the New

resigned from the service. On that

my father containing these words; DO

me to resign, but left the whole matter
to me. did not reply TO this message,
but at once went and got seven days
leave Of absence to 20 to Washington,

the railway from there 10 Washington.
As we attempted to take the steamer we
we're told that we could not 20 on board
without a pass, and that no one could
be carried without an order from Gen.

the town and he was allowing only
Unionists to 70 through. As heard
this said: Well, Major Kearney, that's

and, leaving me In charge OF the bagg.

with passes for Major Keamey and

With these passes we easily got through

told that there were orders there for
me. These directed me TO 10 to my

and finally came upon the Indians on
ridge OF timber. During the charge the
troops became separated, Fiizhugh Lee
and Hayes going together in pursuit Of
two Indians who we're making for the
timber. They killed one before they
reached the woods, and followed the
other for several miles through the trees.
There was much snow on the ground,
and they could see his tracks. Finally
they came out OF the woods and In the
distance saw him hiding behind ledge
OF rock. Lee at once rushed toward
him, firing as he ran. The Indian shot
an arrow at Lee. II struck him, passing
through his arm aud breaking OIL. A
moment later the Indian, who was a
chief Of more than Xix feet 10 height,
Jumped ior Lee and tried TO stab him.
Lee had a revolver in his right hand.
The Indian grabbed the barrel. The
revolver went of, but the Indian was
not hit, the pistol dropping to the
ground. Fitzhugh Lee was six inches
shorter than the Indian. lie saw that
he could do nothing u he allowed the
Indian to use his knife, and he threw his
arms around him and Rugged him for
dear lie. The Indian tired again and
again to stab HIM. but Lee held tightly
to him, and the two swayed to and fro,
packing the snow under their feet.

and shot the Indian through the head.
The mouth Of the savage was open at
the time. lie was Just about TO give one
OF his terrible yells, and the ball went
through his cheeks and mouth without
striking a tooth. a second later Lee
discharged the revolver again, the ball
this time going through the Indians

head fell back and Lee rose to his ieet

granted, and was ordered TO get forage

hotel. Here took the saddle from my
horse and sent II upstairs. directing the
orderly to take the horse back to the

In most cases horse which he had been

horse from his home to the field, the
government paying him for its use and

Lee. "Had we the same forces nov

benefit OF our experience, the result
might be different. But still, what the
south could have done might have been
counierbalaneed by other actions on the

what the result would have been. The

In this note Grant asked Lee at what

the apple tree and secured room In

General Grant arrived at this house
about I O'Clock that day, and the SUR

The handle Of the sword was white, with

was OF blue steel, with gilt trimming,

Lee was very much pleased with Grants
treatment OF him at the surrender. and
he ai,erward said to friend in Rich
mond:
"'No man could have behaved better

"Many Of them we're lost on the way
from Richmond to Appomattox. re.
piled Fiizhugh Lee, land these we're
never recovered. His letters to his
wife, however, were full OF details and
descriptions, and had the advantage OF
these in writing my life Of him."
"What kind OF writer was Robert Z.
Leel"
VERY clear and lucid" was the reply.
"IIe was a man OF the highest character
and his soul was a most beautiful one.

nearly ever thing which he wrote could
be published without change, even to

No. said the general Robert l..
Lee came out OF the war without great
financial loss. lie had quite a lot OF
money which he had invested In stocks
and bonds before the war began. He
kept these, and they had risen In value.
lie lost something Of course, but moth
ing In comparison with many other
well-to.do men OF the south. The most
OF our people turned their stocks into
confederate money at the beginning OF
the war and this Tell day by day as we
neared the end, until II was at last not
worth more than ten cents yard"
"What did Lee do after the war had
| closedf" asked.
"He had numbers Of positions, con-
nected with which were very large sal
aries, offered him, but he cared more
ior quiet and eongenial work than for
money and he accepted the presidency
OF Washington College at Lexington.
