asked Congress to relieve him. Congress
did SO, advancing $4,000 to him.
How highly Lee was considered may be
judged from a letter written by one Of
Washington's friends in camp near New
York at this time. He wrote:
Gen. Lee is hourly expected, as If from
heaven, with a legion of flaming swords
men"
Lee Joined Washington's army and took
an active part in the operations on Long
Island and in the Bronx. He could see
no merit in anything Washington did and
he became raspingly censorious Of Con-
gress for its blunders and it's lack Of
spirit.
After the fall Of Fort Washington the
commander-in-chief began his retreat

A RfFMED PORTRAIT
OF GIN. LEE

Lees cleverness in argument and in
writing, his audacity in public speech and
his reputation as military man made
him popular to an amazing degree. If
ever Charles Lee was happy he was
happy about this time. What he courted,
what he craved. what he had longed for
all his life seemed within his reach at
last. The provincials had absolute conf
dence in him and he saw no good reason
why he should not be chosen to command
the Continental forces in the war he
knew was impending. To overcome any
such objection as the fact that he was
not citizen Of the new world he bought
an estate In Virginia and announced that
henceforth his lot should be cast with
the Americans.
He was present at the first session of
the Continental Congress
He was present, too, at the meeting of
the Second Congress. It was an intense
disappointment to him when Washington
was selected as commander-in-chief,a and
he was enraged when ARENAS Ward was
chosen to head the list of major generals

A GAINST the argument that the world
~ is small can be brought with shat
tering effect, the often demonstrate
ed truth that 1t is easy to disappear.
Disappear doesn't mean to go to the
wilds Of Africa or hide on some desert
isle. There are labyrinths in the great
cities that will swallow up effectually the
person who seeks to escape detection.
The experiences of the heiress, Miss
Roberta De Janon, who ran away from
Philadelphia with the waiter, Frederick
Cohen, is an excellent instance Of the
fact
: The pair fell into the hands Of the po-
lice In Chicago few weeks ago. after
having. for two weeks. escaped the vigil
lance Of all the Sherlock Holmes men of
half a dozen cities.
If this pair could escape detection, 1t
would seem that almost any one with a
need for dropping from view could attain
the desired object.
Miss Janon is the granddaughter Of
Robert Buist millionaire seed merchant.
With her grandfather she had lived at
the Bellevue-Stratford. Philadelphia, after
her mother died.
The couple lived in a suite, and as their
meals were served In their room, they had
their own waiter
In some manner he managed to get a
big influence over the girl. this smooth
tongued Frederick Cohen, an influence the
more surprising since he was almost
three times her age.
Miss De Janon was well known by
sight to those who frequented the hotel,
and the instant that she disappeared in
company with Cohen. after an exchange
of notes that showed the pair had been
contemplating the step for some time, the
police flooded the country with their pho
tographs.
From the oddly mixed appearance of the
pair 1t should have been an easy matter
to run them down.
The disparity Of their age marked them
out as something peculiar. Moreover. the
distinguished appearance of the girl. as
contrasted to the undoubtedly plebeian
antecedents of the man. should undoubt-
eddy have served to excite suspicion to
them wherever they might go.
To make the situation still more gro
tesque, the little heiress-she is only six
teen years old-insiSted on taking with
them her little fox terrier ''Tootsie."
Yet, in spite of all these marks of identi-
fication. the couple were able to escape
the police for two weeks.
From Philadelphia they went to New
York. but stayed there only a few
hours.
Then they decided to get out Of the
jurisdiction Of the United States govern
ment altogether. and went to Montreal.
From Montreal they went to st. Johns.
and then boarded the steamship Corsica
for England
But the purser would have nothing to

also because their money would not per-
NIT them to pay the heavy bills.
DR.. Cook, branded by the scientists
of Denmark with being faker, fur
nishes another remarkable case Of being
able to disappear.
It Is hard to think of face that is
any better known than that of the
Brooklyn doctor.
When he announced his discovery Of
the north pole, newspapers made wild
scurry to get what photographs of him
were in existence.
When he made his sensational return to
the civilized world, he was everywhere
the prey of the snap-shotter.
In Denmark they photographed him side
by side with the king; in the United
States he was pictured with a garland OF
flowers over his shoulders; he was photo

idea of what he looked like.
Yet in spite OF all this he was able to
drop out Of the worlds sight for months,
of taking put upon him by the scientists
Of Copenhagen made people most anxious
to see him.
John D. Rockefeller furnished another
remarkable case.
During investigation Of the Standard
Oil trust a few years ago he was badly
wanted for his testimony.
Yet the richest man in the world had
no difficulty In getting out OF sight for
six weeks, making as good q job of the
process as though he were the veriest
street wreck whom nobody knew or gave
a second look to. Process servers and
detectives were on his trail. his various
houses were watched and every known
means of search employed, but 1t was
not until John d. decided that he was
ready to come on the scene again that he
was located.
Gideon w. Marsh, president Of the Key
stone Bank, In Philadelphia, defaulted
some twenty years ago and got away be-
fore the police could get him.
His description was sent everywhere,
and the best police talent Of the country
spent its energy trying to locate him, but
knew only failure for its pains.
Marsh wandered all over the country.
He was everywhere. He experienced all
kinds Of misery, and finally voluntarily
gave himself up to justice when he read
In a newspaper that a distinguished citi-
zen Of his own city had advised him to
come back, serve his sentence and make
a new start in life when the ends OF JUS
tice had been satisfied. He had escaped
detection for ten years.
Marsh is now serving his sentence.
