The diminutive of Leatitia is Lefty"
which form is popular in Irish farm
er's families. Lefty Lind, the English
dancer. who delighted New York in
the early nineties, is well remembered
by that pet name.
At the time of Elizabeth the Latin
form of the name was English, Let
tice- The best known representative is
Lettice Knoliys, who was the Earl Of
Essex's sprighty countess.
The original Latin form of the name
used at the head of this article, means
Joy"
The thorn apple is the emblem of
Laetitia, and this, like the sentiment,
Joy Comes and Goes" applies in a

One OF the chief reasons that

! feet was Of a single emerald. accord
ing to the Arab chroniclers. They
were probably jade. Tarik, to be in a
position to prove that he conquered
Spain, forestailed Musa by removing
one of the feet The unsuspecting
Musa, after having taken Merida and
moved to Toledo 10 punish his insub-
ordinate general, took the table of Sol
ONION and had the missing foot re-
placed with gold. Tarik, temporarily
relieved of his command by way of
punishment, was restored by the khalif.
and after the two had fought side by
side at the siege of Saragossa, both
were ordered to report at Damascus
and give an account OF themselves
The triumphal march Of Musa to
Syria was one of the most spectacular
events of history. Travelling in state
like a Roman conqueror, he had in his
train wagons loaded with treasure,
numbers of princes and chieftains from
various parts of north Africa. and petty
kings of the Baleric islands But
while the Amir of Africa was making
his way pompously through Egypt,
dazzling the eyes of all beholders,
Tarik efaftily travelled light" and ar
rived at Damascus first
When the table of Solomon was
shown 20 the kahlif, Musa declared
that it was just as he had captured
Ii. Tarik produced the missing foot
from his tunic and easily convinced
the kahlif that Musa was claiming
glory not really his own The result
was that Musa was shorn Of his
honors. stripped of his estates. and
banished from the court when he had
been punished by being compelled to
stand In the sun through a sultry
Rrff NJ final a
ment was yet in store for him. His
son, Abda-l-aziz, had been LETT in
charge of Spain, as chief in command.
He had married the widow of king
Roderik, who had taken refuge at
Merida, and was an admirable admin
istrator Emissaries of the kahlif
were sent secretly to Spain to murder
him. They cut him down when he was
at prayer in a mosque at his villa near
Seville, and his embalmed head was
brought back to Damascus as proof
that the commission had been carried
out. When the head arrived the kahlif
assembled people and see the casket
opened.
A Fathers Grief.
by the life of God there was never
a Mosiem who less deserved such
u tdllilEuts Sdtd the DTOhcn hearted
father as he beheld the features of
his beloved son. He passed his nights
in prayer and by day he tasted. Hadst
thou been just, D commander of the
faithful, thou eouldst not have ordered
this deed OF blood"
In response to his request the kahlif
allowed Musa, now a bent white
haired oetogenarian. to receive the
head OF his murdered SON. Wrapping
it in his tunic he tottered from the
presence of the kahlif and retired TO
village. where he prophesied that
before two suns had set there would
die man whose fame had spread from
Damascus to the Pyrenees. The prop
hesy was fulfilled. and the former
Amir OF Africa. who had paid the full
penalty for misdeeds, done because of
overweenins ambition filled an un-
marked grave.
