Still
closely
scrutinising
the
trail
of
the
Headless
Horseman
,
Calhoun
trotted
past
.
Still
closely
keeping
among
the
acacias
,
Zeb
Stump
looked
after
,
till
the
same
grove
,
that
had
concealed
the
former
,
interposed
its
verdant
veil
between
him
and
the
ex-captain
of
cavalry
.
The
backwoodsman
's
brain
having
become
the
recipient
of
new
thoughts
,
required
a
fresh
exercise
of
its
ingenuity
.
If
there
was
reason
before
for
taking
the
trail
of
the
Headless
Horseman
,
it
was
redoubled
now
.
With
but
short
time
spent
in
consideration
,
so
Zeb
concluded
;
and
commenced
making
preparations
for
a
stalk
after
Cassius
Calhoun
.
These
consisted
in
taking
hold
of
the
bridle
,
and
giving
the
old
mare
a
kick
;
that
caused
her
to
start
instantaneously
to
her
feet
.
Zeb
stood
by
her
side
,
intending
to
climb
into
the
saddle
and
ride
out
into
the
open
plain
--
as
soon
as
Calhoun
should
be
out
of
sight
.
He
had
no
thoughts
of
keeping
the
latter
in
view
.
He
needed
no
such
guidance
.
The
two
fresh
trails
would
be
sufficient
for
him
;
and
he
felt
as
sure
of
finding
the
direction
in
which
both
would
lead
,
as
if
he
had
ridden
alongside
the
horseman
without
a
head
,
or
him
without
a
heart
.
With
this
confidence
he
cleared
out
from
among
the
acacias
,
and
took
the
path
just
trodden
by
Calhoun
.
