As
soon
as
an
understanding
was
established
between
them
,
and
without
waiting
to
be
questioned
,
he
proceeded
to
relate
in
detail
,
as
concisely
as
an
unsteady
tongue
and
disordered
brain
would
permit
,
the
series
of
strange
sights
and
incidents
that
had
almost
deprived
him
of
his
senses
.
It
was
the
first
that
Zeb
Stump
had
heard
of
the
Headless
Horseman
.
Although
the
report
concerning
this
imperfect
personage
was
that
morning
broadly
scattered
around
Fort
Inge
,
and
along
the
Leona
,
Zeb
,
having
passed
through
the
settlement
at
an
early
hour
,
and
stopped
only
at
Casa
del
Corvo
,
had
not
chanced
upon
any
one
who
could
have
communicated
such
a
startling
item
of
intelligence
.
In
fact
,
he
had
exchanged
speech
only
with
Pluto
and
Louise
Poindexter
;
neither
of
whom
had
at
that
time
heard
anything
of
the
strange
creature
encountered
,
on
the
evening
before
,
by
the
party
of
searchers
.
The
planter
,
for
some
reason
or
another
,
had
been
but
little
communicative
,
and
his
daughter
had
not
held
converse
with
any
of
the
others
.
At
first
Zeb
was
disposed
to
ridicule
the
idea
of
a
man
without
a
head
.
He
called
it
"
a
fantassy
of
Pheelum
's
brain
,
owin
'
to
his
havin
'
tuk
too
much
of
the
corn-juice
.
"
He
was
puzzled
,
however
,
by
Phelim
's
persistence
in
declaring
it
to
be
a
fact
--
more
especially
when
he
reflected
on
the
other
circumstances
known
to
him
.
"
Arrah
,
now
,
how
could
I
be
mistaken
?
"
argued
the
Irishman
.
"
Did
n't
I
see
Masther
Maurice
,
as
plain
as
I
see
yourself
at
this
minnit
?
All
except
the
hid
,
and
that
I
had
a
peep
at
as
he
turned
to
gallop
away
.
Besides
,
thare
was
the
Mexican
blanket
,
an
the
saddle
wid
the
rid
cloth
,
and
the
wather
guards
av
spotted
skin
;
and
who
could
mistake
that
purty
horse
?
An
'
hav
n't
I
towld
yez
that
Tara
went
away
afther
him
,
an
thin
I
heerd
the
dog
gowlin
'
,
jist
afore
the
Indyins
--
"
"
Injuns
!
"
exclaimed
the
hunter
,
with
a
contemptuous
toss
of
the
head
.
"
Injuns
playin
'
wi
'
Spanish
curds
!
White
Injuns
,
I
reck
'n
.
"
"
Div
yez
think
they
ware
n't
Indyins
,
afther
all
?
"
"
Ne'er
a
matter
what
I
think
.
Thur
's
no
time
to
talk
o
'
that
now
.
Go
on
,
an
tell
me
o
'
all
ye
seed
an
heern
.
