Her mother, who had struggled along bravely since the dread notification came from, the War defkrtment, wearied of thevfight and found rest In the arms of death. The little girl was left alone but not friendless. The American Legion post of Palatka gave her every care within Its power. But hospital treatment was needed, and the "Forty acd Eight" came forward. Through James Edward White, then chef de gare of Volture 220 In Chicago and a member of the Legion's national child welfare committee, permission was obtained to have the child admitted to the Shrine hospital for treatment. Leedy was rushed north accompanied by Mrs. Dorothy Bartholomew, treasurer of the American Legion auxiliary, department of Florida.

Handicapped by lameness. In a country and age when physlet.1 perfection counted for far more than now, he nevertheless, by sheer force of character, won early laurels as general and tribal chief. On his father's death Tamerlane and his brother-in-law, Hussein, were chosen as Joint rulers. Tamerlane, without Hussein and hesitancy, murdered made himself sole chieftain. But this by no means satisfied his boundless ambition. He had laid out a plan of action worthy of Charlemagne or Caesar, and with his scimitar proceeded to carve his name nnon the map of the world. . He began at home, by changing the e lawlessness of his own people into an established, firm government, worthy of a much later day; then started on his carefully prepared campaign of world conquest. Persia was the first object of his attack. It Is an odd fact that nearly every great conqueror of early times, from Alexander to the Tartar, chose that powerful but land as a primary goal of his achievements. Tamerlane swept . Tersla, his fiery tribesmen carrying all before them. He captured the Persian king and laid the country waste. Cheered by his easy victory over a country so much stronger than his own, the Mongolian Invader next subdued all of Central Asia and carried Is conquests from the Great Wall of China to Moscow. Had he been a European his first Idea would doubtless have been to conquer Europe, and he would have left the East for a later expedition. But, to his Oriental mind. Asia seemed the most Important part of the earth. It was, perhaps, due to this notion of Tamerlane's that Europe was not overrun by the Eastern hordes and Western civilization and character tinged forever with Orientalism. Europe was probably reserved for subsequent Invasion an Invasion which fate verted. Rumors of the wealth of India In 1.198 he reached Tamerlane. marched his vast armies thither, plowing a bloody furrow to the Ganges, overcoming all opposition, and looting millions of dollars' worth of native treasure. Here his native barbarity cropped ont more strongly than ever before, and he left behind him a name for mercllessness that lives to this day. In one Hindoo district alone he massacred 100.000 prlsr oners. The Turks, under Sultan Bajazet, were menacing the Eustern empire. Learning of this and Jealous that any other man should emulate himself at an Invader, Tamerlane hurried back from India and marched against the Turkish dominion. Like an army of ants his countless hordes overran Turkey, seizing Syrln from the brave Mamelukes, nnd. on June 20, 1402, meeting Rajazet's army on the plain of Angorta. After fiercely contested battle Tamerlane routed the Turks and took Bajazet prisoner. Not content with subduing Turkey, he vented his hate against P.ajazet In a unique fashion. He caused a great Iron cage to be built. Into this he thrust the beaten sultan and carried 'nlm about as a sort of hnman menagerie exhibit nntll the broken-hearteprisoner died .... semi-savag- ' ef shame. .
