CHAPTER I.
THE TRAIN FOR CHICAGO.
The four o'clock afternoon train from Milwaukee, bound for Chicago, had just passed Truesdell, when the train boy passed through the cars with a pile of magazines under his arm.
He handed them to the right and left for passengers to examine, and after an interval passed back again, to receive pay for any that might be selected, and gather up the rest.
"Here's the latest magazines I" he cried, in a pleasant voice. "Harper's, Scribner's, Lippincott's!"
As he is to be our hero, I will pause a moment to sketch Paul Palmer.
