them, moving as he felt compelled to

Earth seemed for once to have no

suspended; his feet would not keep
down and he suffered from an almos
irresistible temptation to allow his
legs to collapse altogether, a tempta-
tion which arose' from a growing con-
viction that they really had nothing
whatever to do with him, and that he
could move perfectly well by the mere
a exertion of will power. But he was
not sufficiently drunk yet to yield to
this temptation. He still had some
control over his memory, and he re-
membered that he had tried that game
before, and had been found in the
street very cold indetd the next morn-
ing.

He stopped, swaying dangerously in
the middle of the dark street to think
out that problem, but even his mind
could only move now as the knight
neves. It would not go straight.

peater this two or three times in a

upon peal of derisive laughter, in the
midst of which he fell flat upols his
face in the mud.
After lying there for a few minutes
chuckling still to himself, he rose upon
his hands and knees, reached for his
hat, put it rakishly upon the back of
his heat], and continued his journey
