LED INTO A TRAP.

How n Yankee Prisoner Turned the
Tables on His P%ursuers.
During Sherman's march to the sea,
a member of the Thirty-third Massa-
chusetts Regiment by the name of
Peck obtained permission to join one
of the foraging expeditions which, Of
course, had to be sent out continually
while the army was cut off from its
base of supplies and living upon the
enemy's country. HE'S described as a
"withy, left-handed, tough and gimpy
fellow" and before he got back he
certainly needed all the tough and
gimpyn qualities of which any soldier
was eve possessed.
The squad to which Peck was as
signed took a house furthest from the
line of march and soon found them
selves in clover. Turkeys and chick
abounded. All hands were pretty
well loaded, when Peck spied a par
ticularly fat turkey and started to run
it down.
The perversec creature ran under the
house, and Peck followed. He had
seized the game and was backing out
when he felt the sharp thrust OF a
bayonet and heard somebody say
Come out O. that, you Yankee!n
Peck was a prisoner in the hands of a
dozen guerillas.
They ran him for two or three miles
and halted in a swamp. Here they
took a vote whether to hang their
prisoner at once, Oh to wait till they
had captured enough to make Il
mess
1t was an anxious moment, but the
vote stood six to five in favor of delay.
One man was left to guard the prison
ers and the Others started out after
others.
Now look yer" said the guard, sif

The 'Reb'sn horse and the Yankees
mule were hitched to a tree beside the
brook, about three yards from them.
The 'sRebn gave Peck permission to
go down to the brook, with None o
yer monkey shines, now!' and the
assurance of being shot dead if he
walked in any other than the straight
and narrow path.
Peck started for the brook, deter
mined to do or die. He went round
the tree by the horse, and stopped as
if to drink, but reached up, pulled out
the halter, gave the stallion a fearful
kick, and, as he sprang, swung him
self into the saddle, with the Confed-
crate bullets whistling around him.
Peck kept to the swamp, fearing to
strike into the road on account of the
other guerillas, but he knew where
the road lay, and after awhile ven
tured ont into it. There, not ten rods
behind him, was the whole gang can
tering ~leisurely along after their

Peck put his horse to his best, and
on came his pursuers, yelling and
firing. Peck lay first on n side OF
