Another Disarmament Farce

With what by this time has become tiresome monotony
Disarmament Conferences have gone through the
lions between converting and adjoining.
The current conference at Geneva is typical 1t opened
with tremendous bare of oratory Even Hugh Gibson
the head of the American delegation spoke about drastic
reductions ornaments formula of Equivalent values
proposed by the Americans which hailed by pacfsts
inauguratng of good will in international
relations
Were the conference really intent cutting
they would have tackled those which likely to be the chief
weapons the next This air forces certain types
of navies trained chemicals and gasses ETC. The
conference has thus far however eliminated exactly these
questions from the scope of its work.
The motions of the u S. r. delegation accept the
phrase reduction of ornaments used by Gibson
jeced with the support of Gibson himself and instead the
phrase Limitation adopted leaving the for
future developments and only Limiting certain fields
Gibscn's speech obviously only to give the
Illusions and not intended actual of work
What will be left for limiting becomes clear by what has
been excluded from the agenda On the nstance of Japan
Italy and France trained reserves and detectives neither
reserves the army have been declared not within
the scope of the conference work All naval questions
referred future conference vaguely promised by the
Americans and British The panacea of equivalent values
hailed by the pacfs being attacked favorng the
American navy The question of air forces does not appear
The agreements the of chemicals include those which
outworn and have been replaced by and vastly
powerful substances which the secrets of the var
imperiast powers and which therefore not
toned The conference is at the present engaged
eliminating the question of war stocks from discussion
With all important questions eliminated the limiting
will obviously be confined the outworn methods of war;
actions which will be similar to those of the Washington
Conference which decided to limit the certain types
of battehps which at that time already considered
junk and being used targets in practice
The delegation of the u S. S. R. is the only which
has already denounced the conference for the farce it is
We have doubt however that liberals socialists labor
faker etc. will continue sing about the marvellous achieve
mens of the League of Nations and its silly meetings and
well advertised speeches which clearly to deract
attention from the building and preparations
now being carried on by the imperialst powers.

Her seriousness convinced Bob
that the need of his presense at
Helen's home was urgent. Whats
wrong?" he demanded.
Helen wants you," Eva told him.
'She wants you, Bob, more than
she wants anything else in the
world"

What do you mean?" Eva's eyes
were wide with dread.
Just this. Use your head, girl.
Who could Helen have been en-
gagged to but Leonard Brent?"
For few seconds after the men
ton of that name there was dead
silence. Then cry, much like the
whimper of frightened animal that
does not understand its pain, dug at
the heart of the brother who had
spoken the deliberately brutal words.
Eva crumbled into heap on the
side of the bed. Bob reached out
and took her into his arms.
Poor little kid" he whispered,
poor little thing"
She lay quiet, trying to under
stand the full meaning of what he
had said to her. At certain point
it became unbearable. She lifted
her head, and her eyes were like
the hands of a drowning person
reaching for life, so frantic, so wild,
was their plea.
Il don't believe you! don't be-

Hush, honey, hush," Bob soothed
her. Mother will hear us. She's
worried nearly to death about you

But Eva would not be quoted,

Bob pressed. You're not denying

hasn't he come here? And who has
Helen been seeing besides him?
There isn't anyone, is there?"

offered hopefully; someone who is

low GO on WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXXVIII

NOTHING exciting happened at
IN supper. Eva clamped her lips
together and opened them prac-
tically for the sole purpose of par
taking of the creamed mushrooms
that Helen had prepared, while
Shallimar and Bob danced to the
music OF a monograph.
Bob talked with his eyes, which
Helen avoided looking at as much
as possible. He had, she thought,
a mean streak a mile wide to sheer
at her, even If he didn't put it into
words.
She herself tried to keep to con-
yersation going by talking of the
show at the Garden, but Shallimar
kept interrupting to tell of the
place where she and Bob had spent
the evening.
Once when Shallimar reached out
. hand and laid it poSseSslyely on
one of Bob's. Helen flinched.
The gesture seemed somehow to
upset Bob, too. He looked across the
table at Eva. Lets go home, sis, !"
he said; you look tired"
Eva jumped to her feet without
DELAY. do you mind if We run,
Helen?" she begged. Il am tired"
80 am l." Shallimar chimed in.
Bob, you simply exhaust me-" Very
prettily she suppressed a yawn,
though her eyes were wide awake.
They seemed to be, to anyone who
was interested in reading their eX-
preston, sharing a secret with Bob.
Helen appealed to Eva. You
promised to stay here tonight" she
said.
Eva hesitated for half a moment.
Would Bob go at once if she stayed,
she wondered? For Helen's sake
she wanted to break up the party.
Anyone with any sense at all
could see that Helen was on the
ragged edge, she thought, furious
with her brother for having come at
all. But Helen would not have asked
her to stay unless she really needed
q conf1dant, Eva knew.
Il did promise Helen to stay all
night" she said to Bob, but 1 think
you'd better go home now. You
know mother is worrying about our
staying out"
You know what's worrying her,"
Bob retorted meaningfully. but was
instantly contrite when he saw an
expression of acute mental suffer
ing flood his sisters face.
III 60" he added quickly. IF
you'll check me out, Miss Nellin."
TTELEN rose. with a touch of
II alacrity. Bob thought. But it
was Shallimar who went to the door
with him, out to his car, in fact,
and kissed him good night.
When she came In Helen and Eva
were upstairs. Helen called down
to her. so that she would not seem
completely neglectful. But Shalli-
mar did not come in to say good
night. She paused for a moment
In the doorway Of Helen's room and
then went on to her own.
Eva walked over and closed the
door.
Helen was getting out pair Of
BAHAMAS for her, but without much
care in the choosing. Eva accepted
them with no comment. though
ordinarily she'd have exclaimed with
admiration over their daintineSs.
The girls had little 10 say until
they were in bed. though Eva
yearned to offer comfort to the
friend who had done so much for
her. But Helep's silence was some-
thing to be respected.

Then Tarzan's eyes rested upon the frightened
girl and his kindly smile treasured her. This
thing you have done is unheard Of" she said.
And that cryl 1t was not human!" But the
ape-man did not explain as they continued their
journey. Beyond a rivulet they found the horses,
grazing. Without mishap they reached the girls
village.

Boyd was again prisoner. However,
she was treated more is a guest on
the Union ship than as prisoner.
Here romance entered her life when
she made the acquaintance OF Lieut..
Samuel Harding who fell In love with
her. Belle reciprocated and after be.
Ing sent to Canada, she made her way
to England. Harding Joined her there
and they were married. When Har-
ding returned TO the United States, he
was arrested as deserter and Inn
prisoned for time.
There Is some dispute as to the lat
er life OF Harding and his wife. Ac-
, cording to one account Belle rejoined
him In this country after President
Johnson's amnesty proclamation had
freed him. but for some reason their
happiness together was short-liyed
and she divorced him. Another &c.
count says nothing about divorce
but states that he Joined her in Eng
land after he was released and that
be died there In 1869.
Takes to the Stage
At any rate the next that is heard
OF Belle Boyd Is her entrance upon a
theatrical career and her becoming
the leading lady at the Academy OF
Music In New Orleans. Soon after.
wards she married Col. John Swim
ston Hammond but they soon drlfted
apart and were divorced She married
a third time, her last husband being
Nathaniel r. High. son OF Toledo
clergyman. High accompanied her
upon her tours about the country as
an actress and lecturer and was
with her when she came to kilbourn,
Wis, In 1900 to fill a. theatrical en-
gagement.
She fell III there and died on June
IL. She was buried In the Spring
Grove cemetery there and for some
time her grave was unmarked. Final

lief corps In kilbourn purchased

lowing inscription. zone Flag, One

stone was purchased by w. A. Ever

head Of her grave. Each year at Me-

nanny who was to carry 1t to the
Confederates. The negress was cap
tured and the message she carried
traced to Belle Boyd who was ar
rested and taken before Union
colonel. That officer, probably I'M
pressed by her charms no less than
his subordinate contented himself
with reading her the articles OF war
about spies instead of shooting her.
He released her, warning her, how
ever. that she would not escape so
easily the next time.
Undaunted by this experience Belle
continued her work as spy when
ever the opportunity offered. She
constantly furnished valuable informa-
tlon to Gen. Stonewal Jackson and
Gen. j. e. 3. Stuart while they we're
operating In the Shenandoah Valley

Belle Is Found Guilty
On one occasion she entrusted
message to q supposed Confederate
soldier who turned out to be Union
spy and who took the message 10
General Shields. Belle was arrested,
taken to Harpers Ferry and then to
Washington where she was confined
In the Old Capitol prison. She was
tried BY court martial, found guilty.
but after an Imprisonment OF several
months was given her freedom through
an exchange OF prisoners. AS matter
OF fact, the record of her various
arrests Is none too clear. And for
some mysterious reason she was re-
peatedy released although she was
known to be dangerous spy. Some
OF her exploits verge upon the legen-
dairy SO that 1t is impossible to set
down any complete record OF her life
as spy with any assurance that II lie
accurate In every detail.
About the only thing that is GER
tain is that her spirit was never brok-.
en- by any OF her experiences and that
she did more tirst-class defying OF her
captprs than any other spy on rec
ord Perhaps the highest tribute that
was ever paid to her was the order
of Secretary Stanton when she was
arrested In Martlnshurg to which she
had returned In 1863. Don't let her
get near enough to anyone to talk" he
directed, shell charm the heart out

Eventually she was imprisoned In
Carroll prison In Washington, again
placed on trial and sentenced to hard
labor In Fitchhurg prison. Later this
sentence was committed and she was
released and sent South with orders
never again TO be found within the
Federal lines. Some time later she
took passage on blockade runner
