"Excuse me," he said, "but in New York we call boys by that name, if we don't know their real names. I suppose you have not been here long?" "No; I only arrived this afternoon." "Come to make your fortune, eh?" "Well, I don't know. I should like to, but if I can make a living it is all I expect. Besides, I have another object," added the boy, slowly. "Were you ever here before?" "No, sir." "You are up rather late. You don't sit up so late in the country, do you?" "Oh, no, I am in bed by nine o'clock generally." "We don't go to bed early here. I myself haven't been in bed before midnight for three years." "Do you like to sit up so late?" asked Ben. "I didn't at first. Now I am used to it. My business keeps me up late." CONTENTS I.

Book excerpt: Ben, a farm boy, goes to New York and takes a job working in his rich uncle's department store, unaware that his uncle made his fortune by robbing Ben's late father. Ben Baker, 16, leaves his widowed mother in Connecticut, to seek his fortune in New York City. Five years earlier, Ben's father received an inheritance in bonds, then died suddenly while visiting his brother-in-law, Nicholas Walton. When he arrives in New York, Ben calls on his Uncle Walton, who rebuffs him. Ben is offered job as a personal secretary if he will take the name "Philip Grafton" because he bears a strong resemblance to a real Philip Grafton, who had died. The real Philip's guardian, Major Richard Grafton, fraudulently continues to receive a stipend as Phillip's guardian. The Major then "adopts" Ben to replace the deceased Philip. To perpetuate the fraud, the Major takes Ben to Europe. When the scheme is about to be exposed, the Major has Ben committed to an insane asylum in Switzerland. Ben must escape to uncover the theft before it is too late.
