Joshua Bascom turned as the train boy addressed him, and revealed an honest, sunburned face, lighted up with pleasurable excitement, for he was a farmer's son and was making his first visit to the city of New York.

The train boy had scarcely left the car when a stylishly dressed young man, who had been sitting behind, came forward and accosted Joshua. "Is this seat engaged?" he asked.
