ions of g. protracted spree floated be-
fore his fancy's mind. For time, at
least. he was to be one of the lords of
creAtion-could eat, drink and be
merry. He had waited long for this
freak of fortune. The potions he had
lust swallowed were at work and his
e5ulitions knew no bounds. He hic-
conghed, grew weary, finally took a
sea, in doorway and in q few seconds
was in the arms of Morpheus, who
famed him with pleasant dreams of
flowing bowls and temporary discard
iag of his basket of fungi. The
check was still in his hand, but the
clutch had relaxed. A passer by, a
companion, was attracted to the sleep
ing individual. He espied the check,
drew it gently from the hand of his
prostrate friend, read its import and
fastened to have it cashed. The de-
bauch was finally over, the dreams
were dissipated and his happiness was
again awake; but the check where
was it? Pockets were quickly turned
wrong side out, but diligent search
failed to produce the precious missive.
His stock of cuss words having been
spent, his brightest dreams decayed, he
