The Legend of El Muerto (1)Vidal was a mexican bandit and horse thief. (2)In 1848, he made the mistake of stealing some horses from the ranch of Texas Ranger Creed Taylor. (3)Most of the Rangers had gone north to chase a band of raiding Comanche's but not Taylor. (4)He soon discovered the horses were missing and along with a neighbor who had also lost some horses, they took off after the thieves.
(5)The two men ran into Bigfoot Wallace near Uvalde and he joined them in the hunt. (6)Wallace was also a Ranger and he had little patients for horse thieves. (7)The three men soon found the camp of the bandits and attacked and killed them all. (8)Bigfoot wanted to make an example of Vidal. (9)He cut off his head and lashed his body firmly into a saddle on the back of a wild mustang. (10)Bigfoot thrust the head into a sombrero, secured it with a strap and tied it to the pommel of the saddle.
(11)For years the wild mustang roamed South Texas terrifying everyone who saw it. (12)Horse and rider became known as El Muerto and were blamed for all kinds of evil deeds and misfortune. (13)Eventually, a posse cornered the wild horse near Ben Bolt and relieved it of its gruesome burden. (14)The corpse was riddled by scores of bullet holes and Indian arrows. (15)It is said that the body is buried in a small cemetery near Ben Bolt. (16)To this day, there are still stories of people seeing a headless horseman riding through the South Texas plains on clear and moonlit nights.

Select the contred text in the passage which sentence in this excerpt from john galsworthy's narrative essay "gone" reflects his view that there is no afterlife? an old woman and mrs. herd's sister were in the sitting-room, they showed us to the crazy, narrow stairway. though we lived distant but four hundred yards of a crows flight, we had never seen mrs. herd before, for that is the way of things in this land of minding one's own business a slight dark girlish-looking woman, almost quite refined away, and with those eyes of the dying, where the spirit is coming through, as it only does when it knows that al is over except just the passing. she lay in a double bed with clean white sheets. a white-washed room, so low that the ceiling almost touched our heads, some flowers in a bow, the small lattice window open. though it was hot in there, it was better far than the rooms of most families in towns, living on a wage of twice as much, for here was no sign of defeat in decency or cleanliness. in her face, as in poor herd's, was that same strange minging of resigned despair and almost eager appeal, so terrible to disappoint. yet, trying not to disappoint it, one felt guilty of treachery: what was the good, the kindness in making this poor bird flutter still with hope against the bars, when fast prison had so surely closed in round her? but what else could we do? we could not give her those glib assurances that naive souls make so easily to others concerning their after state. and the night was so beautiful, so utterly glamourously beautiful, with its star-flowers, and its silence and its trees clothed in moonlight. all was tranquil as a dream of sleep. but it was long before our hearts wandering with poor herd, would let us remember that she had slipped away into so beautiful a dream
