They were soldiers In the regu-
lar service, chosen from the va
rious reeIments, and Il was their
special duty to. protect the per-
son, baggage and papers Of the
chief. They were selected with
special reference to their fitness
for such work, physically and
mentally, and, Of course, abso-
lutte loyalty to the American
cause was a prime requisite. AZ
ono time, when the army wac
stationed at New York, the
Tories formed a plot to capture
General Washington and deliver
him to one Of the British armed
ships In the harbor. They sue
ceeded In briblng one Of the Life
Guards to assist them, but for
tunately the plot was discov-
cred and the traitorous guard
was hanged. The last survivor
Of the Life Guards was Uxal
Knapp Of Orange county, New

1860 q monument was erected
over his grave, at the foot Of the
flag staff In front Of Washlna-
