Oettln' Into northern territory was a far dif ferent matter.' I found a dead Confed erate that hadn't been burled and ap propriated hi clothe. There waan't much uniform about 'em, but they bad the southern cut, and the coat at least was gray, with C. 8. A. on the buttom, "Well, Bill and I concluded to sepa rate. We wouldn't br of use to each other, and It might gvt me away a a Confederate to be seen aasociatln' with a miserable escaped Yankee nrisoner. Bo when we cinie to a fork la the road Bill took to on fork and I to the other. I didn't ace anything of Bill for two week, and in the-meantta I'd gone over a good deal of ground. When I did see him It was this way: ! "One nlght-I nlway traveled nights and bid in daytime I struck a rail-1 road. I was pretty near worn out and determined to follow the track till I reached a station and try to boat my way on a train goln' north, relyln' on my cheek and Confederate uniform for protection. Fact la, I waa so des perate that I was even wllllu' to run the risk of belu' taken In for a spy, I walked on the tic for an hour, when I cam to a aleepy little station, A freight train stood on a aide track with a locomotive headed south. I walked along till I came to the rear cur, a box car, and heard voice Inside of It 1 listened and soon learned from what they said that they were a lot of Un-Ion- prisoners of w ar on tlwlr A ay to Aodentonrllle. But what startled die most waa bearing Bill Acres' voice among the rent There wa no guard about, which surprised me, and, call In' for Bill, 1 mado myself known to him. ' He told me of hi capture and said that' the prisoners had alf given their parole to the guard not to escape on condition that they be furnished with a first clas meal the next day. Then the guard had gone off to a dance In a barn. There wasn't mncb Use takln' the prisoner parole, for they couldn't git out nohow. "WDiie we wa taikia' l Heard a puffin' below and knew there wa a train comlu' up from the south. I made up my nilud to play a desperate game. I told the boy In the car to keep still. Heeln' a lantern on the station platform, I swung It and stop ped the comln' train, a freight '"What d'y' wantr asked the con ductor, glttln' out o' the caboose car In the rear and comln' forward with a lantern, " 'I want that car coupled on to your train.' 'Oot an order? 'Not a railroad order. The army can't wait for railroad red tape. That's what brought It down here when if wanted farther north. If full of ammunition.' , "This settled the matter, and the man gave the necessary orders. I bad learn ed from the men in the car that we were between Raleigh, -N. C, on the aouth and Lynchburg, Va., on the north. I told the conductor thnt 1 wanted the car pulled to Lynchburg When it waa coupled on behind the ca boose and we had started, the conduct or Invited me to ride In the car with him, but I told him that I wouldn't leave the ammunition out of my sight for a moment I had my plana all form ed. My Intention was when we reached a convenient point to uncouple the car, break open the door, free the prisoners and nil tunke tracks for the Blue Ridge "Of course the nearer we could get to the mountains the better, but of course all the time we stayed with the train wo were at grent risk mid under terrl ble suspense. As soon na we got into Virginia I began to thluk of droppln' away from the 'train. Luckily at a stntlon where wo stopped I was able to steal a crowbar for openin' the jar and laid It on the roof. Since oil was golu' well, I kept with the train till we reached n point ten or a dor.en miles from Lynchburg nnd ns many from the mountains; then I went to tho couplln'. The door of the caboose was right up against the coupled end of the prison car, but the caboose door was shut, ami all the risk 1 took wus of Its belli' sud denly opened. I couldu't pull the coup lln' pin, so 1 got my crowbur,' ami this helped rue out. After drawlu the plu I .waited while the car fell slowly back, not diulii' to make a sound with the brake. I tell ydii I watched thnt caboose door with terror till my enr whs far enough away to npply the brake When I had drifted n hundred yards behind and the trnln before" me disappeared around a bend through a cut my heart was beatln' like a drum. "1 stopped the car, broke open the door, freed twenty-four Union oldlers, and w set off for the Blue Ridge. Aft er crossln' two chains of mountains we reached West Virginia, which waa Un ion ground, and BUI and I turned up eventually In Ohio."
