For nearly thirty years one of the most famous spies In all AmerIcan history has slept In what to her was allen ground-In a little cemetery near Kilbourn, Wis. Over her grave stood a simple stone upon which was this lnsct·iptlon: ..Belle Boyd. Confederate spy. Born In VIrginia. Died in Wisconsin. Erected by a romrade." Bot now plans are under way to rebury her in the soil of her native state, in the South which lhe served so well. Belle Boyd's life span was a stormy half-century . The story of her girl· hood she tells In a book, "Belle Boyd In Camp and Prison," which ghe wrote while she was virtually an exile In England after the Civil war. She says: There Is perhaps nc tract of counIn the world more lovely than the Valley of the Shenandoah. There s., or rather 1 would say there was. 110 prettier or mor-e peaceful village than Martinsburg , where I was born In ISH. . According to the custom of my country, I was sent at twelve years ot age to Mount Washtngton college, of which l\Ir. Staley, of whom I cherish a mo~t grateful recollectbn, wns the principal. At sixteen my education was supposed to be completed and I made my entree into the world In Washington city with all the high hopes and thoughtless joy natural to my time of life. Washington Is eo well known to English people that 1 will not pause to describe its gayeties and pleasures. In the winter of 1860-61, when I made my ftrat acquaintanc e with 1•. the reaeon was pre-eminent ly brilliant. The congresa balls were nightly dignified by the presence of our a blest ora tors and statesmen. The salons of the wealthy and the talented were ftlled to overflowing, the theaters were crowded to excess, and tor the last time tor man)' years to come the daughters of the North and the South commingled In sisterly love and friendship. fee l DizZy? try Then she tells how Virginia replied to Lincoln's call for volunteers by a similar call for volunteers for Vir· gtnla. Both her mother's father and her own father Immediately enlisted in the Confederate army, her father joining the Second Virginia regiment. Says Belle: ''It was armed and equipped with a subscription raised by myself and other ladies of the valley. The corps was commanded by Colonel Nadenbush and belonged to that section of the Southern army, known as the 'Stonewall 13rigarle.'" Martinsburg being on the border line between the North and the South, Jt soon felt- the ravages of war and Belle's first service for the South was as a nurse In a hospital for Con fed~rate soldiers In her home town iWhen the Northern forces entered that town Belle came Into Immediate prominence by defying a Union captain who declared before leaving that ehe was an "Independen t rebel lady." Belle Saves Her Home : Her attitude toward tl•e Invaders of Martinsburg resulted In the Federal tr(IOpS determining to raise the Stirs and Stripes over tlle Boyd home. iBelle's mother declared that every Jnember of her family would die betore they would permit that, whereupon a soldier, who Is said to have been Intoxicated, struck her to the 11oor. He was promptly shot down tly the daughter. In retallatlon the soldiers threatened· to burn the house but :Belle hastened to the Union com· mander and by his orders the home waa saved. Soon afterwards Belle took advantage of the opportunity presented by her position wUhln the Federal lines to lteg!n her aetlvltles as a spy. Her first attempt, hntvever, was a failure. One day, after having exercised her ~barms to wheedle mllltary Information from a Union officer, she en- Assam Bridal Custom Custom has Imposed upon brides In .Assam 8 considerable amount of trou· ble before their prospective husbands are safely tied up. On her wedding day the bride Is garishly attired In a gown flashing with brilliants, and with a band of jewels holding up her veil. She goes to the house of the bridegroom-to-be. The door Is open.

The negress was captured and the message she carried traced to Belle Boyd who was ar· rested and taken before a Union colonel. That officer, probably lm· pressed by her charms no less than his subordinate, contented himself \Vfth reading her the articles of war about spies Instead of shooting her. He released her, warning her, how· ever. that ~:;he would not escape so ea slly the next time. Undaunt1•d by this experience Belle continued her work as a spy whenever the oJ)portunily offered. She constantly furnished valuable lnforma· tlon to Gen. Stonewall .Jackson and Gen. J. E. B. Stuart while they were operallng In the Shenandoah Valley and In one Instance she 1::< believed to have saved Jackson from a disastrous defeat. Belle Ia Found Guilty Bo,wl was again a prisoner. However, she was treated more as a guest en the Ullion ship than .as a prisoner. Here romance entered her life when she made the acquaintanc e of Lieut. Samuel Harding who fell In love with her.

When Bar· ding returned to the United States, he wns arre~ted as a deserter and tm prisoned for a time. 1'he1·e is some dispute as to the later life of Harding and his wife. According to one account, 13elle rejoined him In this country after President Johnson's amnesty proclamation hnd freed him, but for some reason their happlne~s together was short-llveil and shA divorced him. Another account says nothing about a divorce but states that he joined her In Eng· land after he was released and that he diel'l there In 18G!l.
