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 law course that they
could i'll afford. Thus started a ca
reer that was to cost England many
hundred innocent lives.
BY the time he was thirty he was
baronet and Chief Justice of Eng
land. Then he threw of all pretense
of decency His drunkenness, his in
sane temper. his insolence made him
generally loathed. He could cry at
will. Often in court he would brow
beat witnesses with 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 d.
rect heir the dead monarch,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
baron and showered favors on him.
1t was during this kings reign, in
1885, that Jeffreys enacted his 'vilest
crimes. The Duke Of Monmouth had
laid claim to the English throne and
had fooled thousands Of simple-mind-
ed farmers and shop folk into joining
his rebellion. The uprising was crush
ed. The duke was beheaded. His
captured followers were brought be-
fore Jeffreys for trial Then came a

cry of trial, during which Jeffreys
alternately raved, cursed, drank, wept,
howled with laughter and behaved in
general like q madman. Even the
hardest-hearted servants of the king
were Mortified by such slaughter-the
more so since many Of the condemned
were innocent people who had taken
no part in the rebellion. Jeffreys was
ordered to be more lenient.
Throughout the trial he spared any
one who could pay him large enough
bribe. But few Of these country folk
and tradesmen could raise such sums
as he demanded. For his work at the
Bloody Assizes" Jeffreys was made
Lord Chancellor of England. He
boasted that as chief justice he had
hanged more men and women than
all his predecessors put together.

But on the eve Of sailing he went
ashore and got drunk in waterside

once unjustly punished recognized
him.

the writer.
The mob hurled themselves upon
the disguised Jeffreys and were tear

rescued him. He was taken to the
Tower of London and imprisoned
there, until at the age of forty he
drank himself to death. Though he

Gen. Charles Lee-The Traitor Who Threatened America

ished patriot treasury a. recompense
for this possible loss.
Now began Lees American military
career. From the first he seems to
have had two aims. One. to seize
Washington's position as commander
in-chief: the other, to sell the Amer.
lean cause, at the best possible terms
to the British. After more than once
risking the army's welfare by disobey'
ing Washington's orders. Lee was cap
tured at Basking Ridge. N. j.. by the
British. Whether or not he consented
to the capture in order to carry out
his treason plot cannot be known.
But during his captivity (most OF
which he spent in suite Of rooms IN
New York City Hall) he came to
terms Of understanding with the Brit.
ish general, Howe. and explained to
him his ideas on how best to crush
the Revolution. Thinking he would
be of more rse to them in the Revolu.
tionary army than in prison. the Brit
ish set him free in 1778 and he went
back to his duties. (The complete
draft of Lees plan. by which the col
oaies might be overthrown, was found
in 1857 among General Howe's prt.
vate papers.)
Then came the battle Of Monmouth.
The English. under Clinton, in June.
177s, evacuated Philadelphia and re.
treated across New Jersey to the
British headquarters at New York.
Washington resolved to smash part
Of the British army at Monmouth. N.
j.. on its march. Lee begged him not
to make the attempt. but Washington
sent him with an advance guard Of
5000 men to overtake the enemy.
Lee caught up with the British at
Monmouth on June 28, 1778. and be-
gan the battle in so strange and In
competent q way that Lafayette. In
alarm, sent secret message begging
Washington to hurry to the front.
Washington arrived in time to meet
Lee in full retreat. He rebuked the
traitor. rallied the army and saved the
day.
No one could understand Lees odd
behavior, for no one then knew he
was false. In rage at the rebuke. he
wrote two insulting letters to Wash
ington, who promptly ordered him ar
rested. A court-martial suspended
him from active service for year.
In rage, he retired to mountain hut.
where. for months, he lived like her
nit.
AS his year of suspension drew to
an end, Lee wrote an abusive letter to
congress, and was at once dismissed
from the army. He went to live on an
estate. he had bought in the Shenan-
doah Valley. In 1882 he visited Phila-
delphia, where he fell Ill and died.

leader. Gen. Chas. Lee. had disobeyed
orders and that as a result. the Amer
ican army was retreating.
Washington took in the situation at
a glance. The patriots were falling
back. 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!"
Il know Of no one." sneered Lee.
"who has more Of that abominahle
virtue than your excellency."
At this retort the last barriers OF
Washington's patience gave way. He
hurled at Leo 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
1881. He Joined the British army As
q mere child. At the age Of eleven
he was q commissioned ofacer. He
fought in America during the French
and Indian war and rose fast In rank
to a Internationally. But he had
. sarcastic tongue and an ungovern-
able temper. He criticised his supe-
rior oflicers and made fun Of their
weaknesses. This sort of thing does
not help man on in any walk Of life.
It led at last to Lees practical dis
missal from the army. He drifted to
Poland and Russia, where. serving as
a soldier Of fortune, he received the
rank Of major-general. He also won
doubtful fame as ferocious duelist.
Leaving Russia. Lee made his way
to America 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 soldier as Lee.
He was offered the rank of second
major-general under General Wash
ington. He bargained shrewdly with
congress before accepting this honor.

credit OF explaining the very trouble
some affliction known as hysteria and
the rational manner OF treating and
curing that disease. II was he, too, who
showed the legitimate use OF hypnotism
in this and other psychic afrlictions.
Jean Martin Charcot was born Dec.
-, lsB. In France. His father was n
carriage builder. but decided that he
would give his son an opportunity TO be
builder OF something better than car
riages. The son was therefore given all
the facilities for acquiring education.
Young Charcot showed great versatility
and talent. and for long time he could
not decide whether TO devote his life to
music and painting (for which he
showed remarkable ability or to devote
his life 10 the study OF science.
The science OF medicine finally won
him over He finished his medical
studies In 1853. In 1860 his scientific
labors won for him due recognition, and
he was made a member of the medical
faculty In Paris. In 1862 he was ap-
pointed chief OF the great hospital OF
mental and nervous diseases. called the
Salpetricre. Here he labored for thirty
years and here he built up the science
OF nervous diseases.
DR., Charcot's reputation was world
wide. and great men from all over the
world came to learn from him. Not
only physicians but artists. writer's and
psychologists; all came to his clinics 10
learn the secrets OF the human mind.
Charcot received many honors for his
labors In behalf OF those AFFLICTED with
