P53.1-9   “Yes here,” continued the Professor, nodding down at the Yards as

last, along with the American Cowboy who used to live on it and by it. No
matter how virtuous he’s kept his name, how many evildoers he’s managed to
get by undamaged, how he’s done by his horses, what girls he has chastely
kissed, serenaded by guitar, or gone out and raised hallelujah with, it’s
