Excerpt from The Headless Horseman: A Strange Tale of Texas
The sound, significant to the ear Of the stag, causes a quick change in his air and attitude. Springing clear of his couch, and bounding a score Of yards across the prairie, he pauses to look back upon the disturber Of his dreams.
In the clear moonlight Of a southern sky, he recognizes the most ruthless Of his enemies - man. One is approaching upon horseback.
Yielding to instinctive dread, he is about to resume his flight when something in the appearance Of the horseman - some unnatural seeming - holds him transfixed to the spot.
