who fell into disgrace by his abrupt
withdrawal from the army All three
were trial by court-martial and dis
missed from the service.
All that concerns the characters OF
these men is legitimate food for
thought, and the very localities which
will speak of them are full of the
deepest interest. The old home of Gen
Charles Lee is an oblong building o;
massive stone, with chimney midway.
The ground floor of his mansion" had
mo partition; it was divided by chalk
fines merely, and these lines marked
out four compartments. In the first
he kept his books, in the second was
ibis bed, a rough camp couch; in the
third his saddles, hunting outfit and
Idogs, while the fourth, which included
the fireplace, was his kitchen. Lee
said that by this he could overlook his
establishment without getting up to
open doors. After his death an addi-
ltion exactly the same size as the 9TH
'er portion of the stone house was
built, thus making the house just twice
its original size.
Tradition has it that after Lees re.
Duke by Gen. Washington at Mon
mouth the latter sent a note stating
that he would call upon him on a Ger.
tain morning, and that he hcped all
past contentious and bitterness had
been forgotten. Lee could not eradi.
cate the old anger he felt for his ad
versary, and, unlike the ordinary man,
he could not make commonplace
excuse for not desiring to see him. He
had to do it out of the ordinary--do
It as no other person would. So on
the day fixed for the visit of Gen.
Washington, Lee sent away his Italian
servant and all the negroes and then,

the estate of former Senator Charles
Faulkner, and in the northwest corner
of the beautiful grounds which front
his home. The general also provided
in his will that a certain sum of money
be expended in erecting a substantial
monument over his grave, but the eH
ecutors'of the estate never got further
than placing few hugh stone bowl
