DICK DEADEYE.
A Character That Would FIJI Place In
Dime Novel.

A Character That Would FIJI Place In
Dime Novel.
There was arrested and convicted re-
Gently trio Of young black rascals, ono at
least Of whom is destined TO fill page in
the yellow back literature Of the future.
What his name Is no one knows, he has
changed 1t SO often. but he Is known as
Dick Deadeye all over the city. He is the
head and leader Of band Of expert
thieves, the most of whom have been al
most raised in the workhouse or on the
chain gang.
Dick is an odd looking mortal. He is
diminutive in size and appears to be about
seven years Of age. His forehead recedes,
his lips project, and his entire face Is as
much like baboon as II is possible to be.
His demeanor, his looks, his acts. his
movements all are an exact imitation OF
the baboon, and meeting him one would
suppose prize animal from et'me MENACE
rio had escaped. His most peculssrfeatures
are his eyes, and from these organs
he derives his pseudonym. With bis
head thrown back In baboon fashitn, his
eyes are turned almost straight upward,
| and over them Is drawn O dead-looking,
| heavy skin that conceals them from view.
His most intimate companions have never
seen him open his eyes moro than ball,
and usually he keeps them almost entirely
| closed.
Notwithstanding bis youthful appSs
ance he is an old criminal. He va
pass for child Of seven years readily, e.
responsible gentlemen testified that
knew him 10 be an expeat thief Tor
least twelve years, and that at that timd
he looked about as old as he docs now.
II was amusing to see his subordnates.
great, hurley fellows, who would make
two Of him, yet he was the chief, and
ruled all hands like born general.
The policemen tell great tales on him.
Officer Richardson is not far from believ.
ing that Dick Is either superhuman or al
least fiendish, and that he has power oil

eyes, possessed by few. He has been sent

He is too cunning to be trapped. Officer
