£26 GUY HAMMERSLEY CHAPTER XIX. HOMELESS. ‘¢How very unjust!” was the comment that rose to Guy’s, lips as he listened to Mr. Hampton's words ; but he did not utter it. He knew it would have been neither becoming nor judicious to do so; there was nothing left for him but to bow to the man’s decision, and get out of the place as soon as he could. ‘‘Arthur May-Jones, commission merchant,” was the next name on his list. His place was not far off, in Hudson Street, and he had advertised for ‘‘a young man to make himself generally useful.” There was an ice cart backed up to the door when Guy arrived, and two men and a boy were assisting the ice man in piloting the cakes from the skid to the rear part of the store. “IT suppose that is one of the ways in which the young man is expected to make himself particularly useful,” reflected Guy, and then approaching another man who stood in the doorway watching the others work with alook of supreme satisfaction on his face, he asked if they had been suited yet with an ap- plicant in response to their advertisement in the Herald.
