KEPT HIS NERVE AND WON FREEDOM One Northern Soldier's Daring Escape from Llbby Prison. TRUE ROMANCE OP TUB CIVIL WAR How J.icutcnnntKupp, oftho Eighty olglitli Pennsylvania Volunteers, Pnsscd lllmsolf Oil ns u Itobcl In Butternuts Who Wns Anxious to Got a Look nt tho Ynnltoo's-A Penn sylvania Dutchman's Clover I'.scnpo nnd Sclf-Posscsslon in ."Unking It. From tho New York Sun. Lieut. Kupp of the Eighty-eighth Pennsylvania Volenteers was captured with many of his regiment, at Gettys burg. He was known as u Pennsyl vania Dutchmun nnd he came from Berks county, where German colonists settled nearly two centuries ago and where their descendants cling to tho old customs and the mother tongue even unto this day. As it was summer at the time of Gettysburg, the men enptured in that battle were In light attire, and the long journey down to Richmond and the wear and tear on their thin blouses reduced thein to rags, and this Penn sylvania Lieutenant seemed to be the most ragged of all. Kupp was considerably over six feet in height, lank, long limbed, and in clined to be round shouldered. Ho was about 21 yeurs old, and the gray eyes, long, dark hair, and fuzz-covered face gave him tho appearance of a North Carolina mountaineer. His comrades jokingly called him "the .tar heel," but he took It good naturedly. The re semblance was much in his favor when he made up his milnd to leavo Llbby, and, to use his own language, " make a bee line for God's land," as the pris oners called the North. The two subjects .that engrossed the minds of the men were exchange and escape. Nearly every day the repo. spread that the exchange cartel nad been resumed, and that the men were to bo sent North under ilag of truce within' twxjnty-our hours. On such occassions groups of excited men would rush through the six dlvlsilons of the dark, dreary old warehouse, shouting frantically: "Pack up !Pack up! All exchanged! Hurrah for God's land!" NOT DISAPPOINTED. Constant disappointment failed to lessen these rumors, nor did It weaken the hopes of the men who heard them. Perhaps Kupp was an exception, for ho never sot excited, was never stirred from his stolid bearing by the cry of "Pack 'ip!" "I have nothing to pack," he would hay with a grim smile, and without raising his eyes from the bit of yellow bono lie was trying to carve into a crucifix with a broken jack knife. Plans for escaping were daring and Innumerable. Nearly all were Imprac tical, yet, unknown to their oomiades, twenty-live men, pledged to secrecy, were at this time digging In the dark ness tho great tunnel through which subsequently 110 men escaped. "When I get good and ready I'm go lng to light out." This Kupp would say to the men un folding their schemes about him, but as he lefuhed to tell how he proposed getting away he was laughed at and left to his bone-carving. Just before Christmas the Confeder ate authorities, who had refused to re ceive supplies for the prisoners from the United States government, per mitted friends In the North to send down a llttli food and clothing under flag of truce Uniforms were contra band, so that .11 the clothes that came through were of the citizen style and material. Lieutenant Kupp received a huge! box, full of hams, sausages, preserves,) cheese, ana other goou things from the old faim, but neither the memory of past hunger nor fear of tho future pre-i vented his Inviting the men who had no boxes to help themselves. Of all the things in the big box, the one that most delighted Kupp's soul was a suit of butternut clothes, evidently of home manufacture, even to the cloth, The lieutenant soon "shucked" his blue rags, and donned the new suit. Thus attired, he strode up and down the "upper Potomac room," a hunk of bread In one hand and a chunk of ham In the other, while his laughing com panions demanded to know when he left "North Callny." "Hit don't mattah we'en I left," re sponded Kupp, with an inimitable mountaineer drawl, "the thing that's a-botherln' me now Is we'en an' how Ize gwlne ter glt back." IHS PLAN FORMED. As old soldiers will remember, the uniforms of tho Confederates were any thing but uniform nt about this time. Tho citizen clothing was put aside at the beginning of the war was sent to the front from home, though a. gray hat, g:ay trousers, or a gray coat had been retained whenever possible. Hun dreds of Confederates in "butternuts" passed tho prison along Carey street every day, and many of the guards about Llbby, and those who camo In every morning to count the prlsoneis, were dressed in the same material. This prison roll call at this time was more expeditious than efficient. Every morning, In tho gray, cold dawn of that bitterly cold winter, the Yankees wera routed from the upper Potomac, or tip per east room tho latter was tho name given it by tho Confederates. Through an opening In the wall the men wero counted into the upper Chlckamauga, or upper middle room, where they wero free to do as they pleased within the prescribed limits. The men at tho head of the line, and they wero usually the ones who had something to cook, made a swift rush to the lower middle room, where there were four old-fashioned rusty kltch-en Moves. When tho count was over and no Yan kee reported missing, the guards filed clown to the west ground floor room, where "Black George." the sergeant, and tho prison clerk, "Little Ross," re ported to Major Turner, commandant of tho prison. Ono morning, it was early in Janu ary, '61, and about ten days after ho had received tho clothing from home, It was noticed that Kupp, who was usu ally among the first counted was the very last, to the rear, and on th'ls occa sion was the very last, When Kupp camo Into the upper Chlckamauga room, tho guard was forming to go. Seizing the hand of Captain Mans of his own regiment, who stood near by, tho Lieutenant whisper ed: "Good-by. Ed: I'm coiner to make n 'break for God's land." As this was tho (lrst Intimation Cap tain Mans had had nf his friend's pur pose, ho was too much nstounded to make a reply. The next Instant Kupp had caught step and fallen in behind the guard, ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. A NEW DISCOVERY WHICH IS WORTH THAT MUCH. To Anyone Airilctcd with Piles. Tho Pyramid Pllo Cure, the new painless remedy which has been so re markably successful In curing every form of piles and rectal diseases, has recently been placed on sale at drug gists and It Is safe to say that when its extraordinary merit becomes ful ly known, there will bo no such thing as surgical operations for the cure of this obstinate and common trouble. Mrs. M. C. Hlnkly of C01 Mississippi St, Indianapolis, Indl, says: I had been a terrible sufferer from the piles for 1C years and no remedies bene fitted me, until I saw an advertisement of the Pyramid Pllo Cure; I got a package, also a package of the Pyra mid Pills and used both according to directions. I wns nstontshed at the Immediate lellef obtained nnd now 1 honestly believe tho Pyrnmld to be the only certain cure for piles. That you may rellze how bad I was, I will say that I was confined to my bed and went before the college physi cians hero who said my case was a new one to them and wanted seven or eight hundred dollars to undertake to cure;tho great pain hnd brought on a ruptuic, nnd I knew an operation would bo death to mo on account of blood poisoning. Nearly everyone here knows of my terrible suffering from piles nnd I feel that I cannot praise the Pyramid Pile Cure enough and tho Pyramid Pills also. My husband will Join me In highly recommending the Pyramid, my daughter was cured by one box only. For several years I weighed but about 90 pounds, now I weigh 130 nnd feel Inn perfect health. This seems to be the universal testi mony of every sufferer from piles who have ever tried the Pyramid; It Is the safest, most painless pile cure yet dls covered; contains no opiate, morphine, cocaine or any poisonous ingredient whatever, has a soothing, healing ef fect from tho first application, and the moderate price places it within the reach of everyone needing treatment. The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by drug gists at 50 cents and $1.00 per package and .the Pyramid Pills at 25 cents per Send to Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich., for free book on cause and cure of piles. He kept safely to the rear until the sergeant of the guard had reported to the officer In charge. When tho guard had passed the sentinel at the door, Kupp walked over and saluted Turn er, who by this time was seated at his desk inside of a railing. Hearing the shuffilng of feet on the floor, Turner lcoked up and demanded: "Who the devil are you?" "I'm from North Callny," responded Kupp. "How did you get In here?" "Follered the gad, an' I've been a waitm to talk wld you.' Ain't yo' MIstah Turnah?" "That's my name. Now, what do you want?" asked Turner, as he arose angrily from the desk. "I've ibeen in hospital, jest got out yes-day, nn' though foah I left fo' tho front I'd like to see the Yankee prlz ners," bald Kupp. "Go to the front, confound you. nnd :.ou'U see more Yankees than you'll ilko!" shouted Turner. "Then thar ain't no show fo me to see any of them Yanks I helped gobble at Gettysburg or Chickmaugy?" "No; get out!" and Turner pointed to the door, where an armed guard stood listening and laughing. "Waal,, I didn't kno you tins was so c. -sed particular," dn wled Kupp, as, obe.ng the direction Indicated by Turner's extended hand, ho made for the door. Kupp saluted the guard, who ex changed winks with him as he passed cut to freedom. Once beyond the guard, a man of ordinary neTve would have started off with all speed, nor halted until Llbby waM"far behind and even the steeples of 'Richmond out of sight; but Kupp was not an ordinary man. Standing before tho entrance to the prison, the lieutenant shouted in to Turner: "Say, mistah, Iipv ye any objections to a feller's standln' acrost the street nn' kinder pcekin' up at the buildln'?" Of course. Turner made no response, but the guard continued down his post and laughed, as if he thought the tall man in butternuts a very funny fel low, THE NEWS SPREADS. Meantime the news of Kupp's escape had spread among his late associates Tho excitement was all the greater from the fact that it had to be sup pressed. Instead of glass there were Iron bars In the front windows. Pris oners wero not permitted to come with in two feet of these bars. Of course, all know the order, and that Captain Forsyth of the One Hundredth Ohio, had been killed a few days before for unintentionally violating it, yet the men forgot all about this In their anx iety to see Kupp leave. Tho lieutenant had evidently made up his mind to gratify his comrades behind the bars. Across Carey street from the prison there was a vacant lot. Kupp walked to the edge of the lot, sat down on a log, and, taking out his broken jacknlfe, began to whittle and to Blgnal the men In his old room to come out and join him. The situation was intensely humor ous, but at tho same time Intensely painful to tho men watching Kupp from the prison, but not daring to raise tlielr voices In warning. At length, to the great relief of all. the lieutenant rose, stretched himself, and yawned. Raising his slouched hat, he shouted; "Good-bye, Yangs; hope ter see yo' again. Then, with a long, slouching stride, ho passed out of sight to the east. Tho next flag of truce boat brought through a letter from Kupp. Five days after leaving Llbby he fell in with Butler's troopers from Fortress Mon roe, and at tho time of vcrlting was about to take passage for God's land. Not tho Right King. Mother "Daughter, unless I make mis take, thero was something to what tho young man told last evening." Daughter"! don't wish to break con fidences, mother, but It did have an en gagement ring." Adams Freeman. SONG AM) TI.Mi:.
