dream. But the bottom has fallen out
of the whole shebang. How much are
you to-the-bad on the deal?"
"To-the-bad? We are not built that
way. We are to-the-good to the ex-
tent of about three weeks more rent
in advance on these Offices, one in
stallment on the rugs and one on the
desk. The printers do not collect until
the next tenth, according to my stem

"By the way, how much money have
