Yes: but there is SO much OF it,
And virtue rewarded
"But there Is so little Of it
The proportions are much better than
they used TO be- Why. in the old Dead
wood Dick days
"Deadwood Dick is still alive!'
NO. no; Deadwood Dick is dead; il Is
his son who now holds the field. Dead
wood Dick-the old man-was a bit OF
highwayman. / admit We had 10 get rid
OF him
and Deadwood DIX, jr. Is uioral?"
He IS a detective.
