You know my size.” Guy retired precipitately to the other side of the store. ‘‘What a perversity of fate,” he reflected, ‘‘ that that man of all others should happen in here to-day ! And yet, I suppose he lives over in Jersey, and is on his way to the ferry, and so passes this shoe store every day in going to and from his office. I daresay it’s all up with me here now.
