Summary: "The Missing Tin Box; Or, The Stolen Railroad Bonds" by Edward Stratemeyer is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young protagonist named Hal Carson, who has recently escaped from a poor-house and ventured to New York City in search of work and a better life.

At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Hal Carson, who overhears a suspicious conversation between two men about railroad bonds while traveling on a ferry.

After running away from the poor-house, he seeks employment and eventually finds a job in an office, where treachery and deceit lead him to be accused of a theft he did not commit.
