the eye, the ball passing out at the back of
the head. A perfect blaze of universal
phrenzy burst forth at the first news of
tnts fourth innrdcr: but when the curious‘
cii'c_uiristancc noted above followed on af-'
ter it, very dillerent: effects and greafi
changes in the character oftlie excitement
were produced. Wltcn llint-h was told
that Rees had been shot through the eye’,-
and that from the course oftlie ball in the‘
other cases, it was probable that all the
others had been shot in the same way, he
turned livid as the dead of yesler(lay——-his"
Y nees smote together—and with a horrid,
blaspltcmy he roared out, ‘Jack Long!
Jack Long!” then sinking his voice to a
inutter-—“or his ghost come back for vén-'
geance !” Otlter citizens not connecte
Willi tile Regttlators, felt greatly relieved
now that this inscrtttablc affair was, to
some degree,explained. They remember-
ed at once the peculiar circumstances of
.laek’s noted mar ', and the lync_hin‘g" he‘
had received, though runny pépsisfed in
the beliefthnt it was Jiick’s ghost, for
they said--“I-Iow could it be anything else
when the Regulators left him for dead 7.’ ,
But, ghost or no ghost, it was universal-
ly believed that Jack Long and his rifle
\\.’ct‘<.= ulcnti’ ed somehow with the actorin
these deeds. The disfiguratiori of the
lieads, in the other instances, had prettéfi;
ted this discovery until now; but every-
body breathed more freely since it had
been made. It was the painfully harass-'
assassinations—whcthcr any indizidual in
tltc cotinty might not be the next victim,
and the propensity for mtirder indiscrim-
inatc—\vliicli had caused such deep excite-
ment, and induced the people -to aid the
Regulators, But now that this uncertain-
ty was fixed tipoii the shoulders of the
‘Bloody Band,’ and their own freed of the
unpleasant burden, they were greatly dis-
posed to enjoy the thing, and, instea of
assisting them any furtlier, to wish aclé
success from the bottom of their hearts.
They felt that every one oftlicse wretches
deserved to die a thousand times; at all
events, wlicther it was really Jack, his‘
ghost, or the devil, it was a single issue
between him and the Regulators, and, no
one felt the slightest inclinaton to ir'it'e‘rfe’réi'.*
Those who professed to be very logical iii
solving the question, as to what he really
was,.reasoned that it must be Jack, in the
body, beyond a doubt; but that it was
equally certain that the injuries he re-_‘
ceived must have deranged his mind, and
that it was frotn the fever of insanity be
derived the wonderful sltill and firmness
of purpose which be displayed. They
could not understand how a nature’ soeasy
and simple as .lack’s was reported to have‘
been, could be roused to any natural enerii
.gics of slnmbering passion to such terrific
deeds! Those 0fJaclt’s own class, who‘
had escaped the exterrninating violence of
