Gates. And with fussy, inefficient,
cowardly old Gates at the head of the
American troops American liberty
would have been doomed. Here, In
brief, is the story of the accident that
saved our country:
Gates aid, Wilkinson, drank too
much one night and babbled to a friend
Of the chief some OF the contents OF
a letter from Conway to Gates In
which Conway had spoken insultingly
of Washington. The story was told to
Washington. who called Conway to &C
count. Conway rushed to Gates for
aid, and Gates tried TO get out OF the
difficulty by branding Wilkinson as q
liar.
Wilkinson promptly challenged
Gates to a duel. Gates wept on VIII
kinsons shoulder and implo-ed him
to withdraw the challenge, speaking OF
himself as feeble old man who loved
Wilkinson like a father. In this way
the frightened old general wriggled
out Of fighting.
Meantime, thanks to the first hint,
Washington learned OF all Conways
anonymous letters and other treacher-
les. The facts were made known TO
the people. The cabal was crushed I'M
der storm of public disapproyal.
But Conway was not to escape 80
easily. He was challenged to duel
by Washingtons friend. Gen. Cadwal-
lader, who proceeded to shoot him
through the mouth.
Conway, believing himself dying,
wrote one more letter. This time to
Washington, asking forgiveness for
his yillainies and declaring the chief
TO be great and good man" Then
he "conditionally" resigned his COM
mission as an officer In the American
service. Congress accepted the res
ignation, Internationally. and Conway
went back to France.
There he styled himself Count de
Conway" and managed to win an ap-
I pointment as governor Of one OF
Frances Oriental provinces. He made
such a mess OF his diplomatic work
| in his province of the Orient that he
| almost wrecked the French interests
there. He returned TO France and be-
came a general in the royal armies.
During the French Revolution he
was condemned to death. He was
saved only by an appeal 10 Great Brit
ain against which he had fought in
the American Revolution), but was
compelled TO fee from France for his
| life
After that Conway disappeared freq
history. He Is supposed to have died
about 1900 in poverty and exile.

soldier was Thomas Conway. British
subject, who had lived since early
childhood in France. There he had
Joined the army and risen to a colo
nelcy. When he came here he was
joyfully received. The Revolutionists
lacked expert officers and they made
him a brigadier-general.
The mans boasts and his dashing
ways impressed the simpler states
men. But George Washington read him
at a glance, for windy. vicious In

So when congress decided a little
later to make Conway a major gen.
eral the chief sternly opposed such a
promotion and gave his reasons for
doing so. From that moment Conway
was Washington's sworn foe. One
active mischief-maker can sometimes
work more harm than a dozen wise
men can undo. Conway at once join

gress and the army. and started a

He and his associates formed what
was known as the Conway Cabal,'

too feeble OF mind as a leader. He

How TO Kin Flies.

To clear rooms of files use carbollc
acid, heating a shovel aud pouring on
1t twenty drops of the poison. The
vapor will kill the flies. Another
method: Burn pyrethrum powder in
the room. The flies will fall TO the
floor stupefied and may be swept up
and burned. The powder should be
moistened and nodded into cones. and
after drying each cone should be placed
upon a dish and lighted at the top. II
will burn slowly, and the odor is not
disagreeable.
Flies pass the winter hidden In
cracks and holes in attics and cellars
Many Of these may be killed in the
spring by the two methods just de
scribed.
