Summary "The Train Boy" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Paul Palmer, a resourceful 16-year-old train boy who sells magazines on a Milwaukee-to-Chicago train. As Paul navigates the challenges of life, he demonstrates his integrity and kindness while also facing adversities from characters who threaten his sense of justice and family. At the start of the story, Paul enthusiastically goes about his duties on the train, engaging with passengers and showcasing his charming personality. He encounters an elderly woman and a generous young lady named Grace Dearborn, who shows kindness by giving him money for his little sister's benefit. However, the atmosphere shifts when a thief named Luke Denton, seeking to steal from Grace, finds himself exposed by Paul, leading to a dramatic leap from the moving train. This incident sets the stage for subsequent conflicts involving Paul, his family dynamics, and his determination to protect those he loves from malevolent influences in his life.
