  "So your father did not know you had the car out the other day?" said "How did Watt come to know so much about engines?" asked Stephen. "And did England begin to build railroads right away?" Steve inquired. It came to him in a flash that Stephen Tolman, the boy he In the meantime the Thanksgiving holidays were drawing near and Mr. Tolman suggested that he and Stephen should run over to New York for a Steve''s father went to meet a business appointment, the boy was to take "Mr. Ackerman is coming right down," said he, addressing his father and It was with a sense of deep regret that Stephen bade good-by to Mr. Ackerman and Dick and returned to the hotel to join his father. chance for betterment had come his way Steve felt sure that the boy It was with genuine regret that Mr. Tolman and Stephen parted from Mr. Ackerman and Dick when the train reached New Haven.
