leader, Gen. Chas. Lee, had disobeyed
orders and that as result, the Amer
lean army was retreating.
Washington took in the situation at
s. glance. The patriots were falling
hack. The British were everywhere
successful. His blue eyes ablaze with
anger, the chief gallOped across to
Lee
In heavens name, General" he
shouted, what means this ill-timed
prudence?"
q know of no one" sneered Lee,
who has more of that abominable
virtue than your excellency."
At this retort the last barriers of
Washington's patience gave way. He
hurled at Lee a public reprimand that
the latter never forgot nor forgave.
It was a case of a just mans wrath
at blackguard's misdeeds.
Charles Lee was born in England in
1871 He Joined the British army as
a mere child. At the age of eleven
he was a commissioned officer. He
fought in America during the French
anu 1uuldu WdI anu iOSe last III 1 aim
to a lieutenant-cOlOnelcy But he had
a sarcastic tongue and an ungOvern-
able temper He criticised his supe-
rior officers and made fun of their
weaknesses. This sort of thing does
not help man on in any walk Of life.
1t led at last to Lees practical dis
missal from the army. He drifted to
Poland and Russia, where. serving as
q soldier of fortune, he received the
rank of maior-g general. He also won
doubtful fame as a ferOcious duelist.
Leaving Russia, Lee made his way
to America a short time before the
Revolution. He hated England and he
loved intrigue. So he plunged into
the stirring politics of the day, siding
with the patriots The Revolutionary
army was short of experienced Off
GERS and was delighted to accept the
services Of so noted a soldier as Lee.
He was offered the rank of second
maiOr-general under General Wash
ington. He bargained shrewdly with
congress before accepting this honor,
declaring that King Georges gov
eminent would surely cOnfiscate his
British estates, and demanding to be
paid for them. Congress agreed to
give him $4,000 out of the impover-

An Attempted Abduction
Copyright. 1917 BY Associated Literary Press.>
By MICHAEL ]. PORTER

"I1l hunt him down, if I have to
put bloodhounds on his trail!"
Now, MAORI" soothed the wife.
Now, papa!" soothed the daugh-
ter.
''The scoundrel shall not escaped"
roared the major as he paced the
room. "I'll have the police after him
within an hour-within a quarter of
an hour!"
But, major!"
But, papa!"
Marjorie had been uptown to do
some shopping. The major had been
talking of buying an auto, and ex-
pected to close the deal that day. If
the event came off the machine would
be at the depot to meet her as she
came home on the Z o'clock train
She had only stepped off when a man
touched her arm and raised his cap
and said:
This way to the auto, please"
So her father had closed the DEAL
and was probably sitting in the auto
outside waiting her appearance! But
ne WASH [. The machine was tenant
less, but the man gave her hand to
reach the tonneau, and as she seated
herself it whizzed away. 1t didn't
take the right direction, but she
didn't notice this fact for minute
When she did she called out:
you are going wrong! You must
turn around"
I'll get you there, all right" was
the reply.
Then Miss Marjorie opened the
door and leaped straight out, to lose
her balance as her feet touched the
ground and fall and roll over and
over in the mud. At the same time
she screeched. 1t wasn't a dainty
little scream, but long-drawn
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1912-05-15

screech that was heard quarter of
mile away and started men running
for the scene.
"Here-what's the matter!" de-
manded the driver of the auto as
he came to sudden stop.
Help! Help!"
Speed was put on and the auto dis
appeared.
"By George, Miss Graves!" ex-
claimed a first conner, who at least
knew the girl by sight, but this is
about the boldest thing l ever heard
of around here!"
"Was-was he trying to carry me
OFF," was gasped
Sure thing Yes, ma'am, it was
bold attempt at abduction, and the
wonder is that he didn't have a con-
federate to choke you into silence
and helplessness. By George, but
this village is getting to be worse
than New York city!"
The scoundrel had been noticed at
the depot by men who thought he
acted suspiciously. No one had taken
the number of the auto, and it was
considered useless to- follow.
The major hadn't closed the deal
fer the auto, and he wasn't at the
dspot-either with or without it. OF
course, Miss Marjorie had a story to
tell when she got home. and it was
I the attempted crime that reused the
fathers ire. Was this the twentieth
century? Was the police force of the
village, consisting OF two men, being
paid enormous salaries to catch Grim
inals red-handed or to play checkers
and sleep? The major asked a great
many other questions that neither his
wife or daughter could answer, and
wound up with the threat to have the
state militia called out.
Meanwhile something had happened
at a manor house two miles away
Ruth Forest was coming down that
evening for a stay of two weeks with
her old school chum, Mrs. Thurston,
a bride of two years Harry Thurs
ton, brother of the husband, had al
ready been there a week 1t was for
him to take the auto and meet Miss
Ruth. She would surely be looking
for somebody to meet her. and there
could be no mistake.

a Judge. Young as he was, the
lad-George Jeffreys-was already
accustomed to have his way. He
bullied or cajoled his parents in
TO giving him a costly school ed
ucatiOn and a law course that they
could i'll afford. Thus started a ca
reer that was to cost England many
hundred innocent lives.
From the very first young Jefreys
was a man of mark. He was brilliant,
strikingly handsome, and had an al
most supernatural power of reading
other mems minds and purposes. He
took scant pains to study and never
had much real knowledge Of law. But
his cleyerness supplied what his
learning lacked.
He took up criminal practice and
handled cases no decent lawyer would
touch He had genius for making
influential friends. Through these
friends and his own cunning he rose
fast in his profession. At last he at
tracted the notice of the easy-going,
interruptions King Charles II. Charles
despised Jeffreys as a man, but was
not above using the young lawyer to
do his dirty work. A strong faction
of the people were the kings political
opponents. Jeffreys publicly declared
himself the peoples friend-and Sc
cretly worked for the king. From
both factions he received high re-
wards,
BY the time he was thirty he was
a baronet and Chief Justice of Eng
land. Then he threw off all pretense
of decency. His drunkenness, his in
sane temper, his insolence made him
generally loathed. He could cry at

beat witnesses with a volley of filthy,
bitter. blasphemous sarcasm. make
the jury tremble by a maniac glare
of his black eyes, foam at the mouth
with rage, then break into a spasm of
loud laughter or into a flood Of tears.
When Charles II. died without di-
rect heir the dead monareh's younger
brother took the throne as James
II, Jeffreys had already curried favor
with James and now rose to higher
power than ever. James made him q

The ground floor is of con
crete, kept constantly covered
with chaff and cut straw, and
used as scratch pens, being light
and pleasant for that work.
The entire upper floor is used for
roosting rooms and nothing else The
tight floor of this upstairs roosting
room is covered with dry sand.
The droppings falling upon this sand
are soon dried out, and no odor arises
1t is not cleaned oftener than once a
month and yet there is but little odor

tilation. This roosting room is not hot
