TO JOIN HIS FATHER.
FITZHUGH LEE, JR., TO LEAVE TO-
NIGHT FOR HABANA.
GOES 10 SPEND HIS VACATION.
The Consu:-Generars Son Denies
That Fear Il Entertained as tn His
Fathers safety-In Constant Com-
munication with Him.

Mr.. Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., son OF the United
States Consul-G General to Cuba, will leave
Richmond tonight for Habana, where he
goes to join his father. with whom he
will probably spend several weeks.
This will not be Mr.. Lees first visit TO
Habana. He went there soon after his
fathers appointment as Consul-General,
and spent some time on the island, but
for the last year or more has resided In
this city. and held a position in the Office
Of General Manager Stevens. OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway. He has
been granted furlough by Mr. Stevens,
and will spend the vacation with his
father in the Cuban capital.
The fact that Mrs. Lee has been indis-
posed for some days, coupled with the
report that her son would leave In the
near future for Habana, has gwen rise
to the rumor that letters and telesrams
received from General Lee since the
Maine disaster have been such as to
cause uneasiness on the part of his family
as to the safety of the Consul-General
and that the son was going down TO be OF
assistance to his father by mingling with
the people and ascertaining whether any
hostile sentiment exists.
Such Mr. Lee asi lred a Dispatch re-
porter last night wus not the case. lie
said the family naturally felt concerned
as 10 tie Consul-Generafs situation, In
view of the excited state of the public
mind, hut that they were constantly in
receipt Of letters ana kilograms from
him of the most reassuring nature,
and, the son added, he did not believe his
father was i'm any danger or needed the
services of anybody to protect him.
"He does not know | am coming said
the young man. II have a few weeks
vacation given me by Mr.. Stevens, and L
purpose spending it with my father. L
haven't seen him for some time, and L
believe would rather spend what leisure
time / have with him than with anybody
else Please say for me that we do not
consider my father to be In any danger
whatever, and If danger threatens hin L
consider him amply able to take care OF
himself"

THE wolves." he gasped- "A pack OF

The girl seized the rope without a
word and in spite of the cracking and
swaying ice they leaned forward to-

But they were not swift enough.

shots over his shoulder. This checked

The girl obeyed and in another mo-

though less rapidly than before.
The girl On the sled looked back up
the river where she could see dark
mass in the dimming light.
Give me the pistol, Bob" she
called.
He reached it back to her. and when
the dark mass drew nearer she fired into

Then the pack moved forward again,
bowling now and then in concert. When
they reached the packages they
paused again and seemed TO be fight
ing. This gave the fugitives little
better start, and Liza felt encouraged.
Then the dark mass came rushing on
again and her heart sank. She had three
more shots in the revolver, and when
the band was a few yards behind she
fired one of them and a little later the

Some Reasons Why Sweet Peas

Sweet peas are among the oldest and

nized by our foremothers. who called
them painted ladies'" and indeed they
do have 4 very human appearance. The
laIe years have brought increasing ap-
probation OF these flowers, and the old
painted ladies have been broken into
in1umerable sorts. covering almost
every shade from lemon yellow 10 pur-
PIE that is almost black. They come in
pure white and il variegatioEs Of many
kinds. and the size Of the flowers has
been greatly increased.
They are of easiest culture and should
Re planted as early as il is possible

if they are nipped by the frost after
coming up they are not hurt, and the
peas vii! lie IL the ground for weeks
without injury. They should be pant
