Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paul Travers Adventures: Being a Faithful Narrative of a Boy's Journey Around the World
The speaker was chief editorial writer on one of the leading daily papers in the West. Of medium height, fairly robust frame, piercing black eyes, high forehead, and sallow features, his was perhaps the most familiar figure known to the Chicago newspaper world, where his trenchant pen had long since won for him the recognition that his tal ents deserved.
He now sat in his cozy den on the fifth ?oor of the Mercury Building, and with his swivel chair half wheeled from his desk turned toward a lad of six teen, who, straw hat in hand, had just entered the room in response to the invitation that followed his modest tap on the door.
