About this book
The Telegraph Messenger Boy, or The Straight Road to Success, is by Edward S. Ellis. The contents include chapters called The Collision, The Office Boy, A Message in the Night, The Cipher Telegram, The Translation and The Value of Courtesy.
Ben Mayberry works a log in toward shore while three city lads pester him not only with stones but with taunts that are far more exasperating. A speaker says he has been taking sparring lessons of Professor Sullivan for a year and can knock someone out of time in three rounds. A young man tells Miss Dolly that they are going to form for the lancers and that he believes he has her promise for his partner, and the answer is thanks to Rutherford but a changed mind, to dance with Master Ben. The chief commands the villains to hold up their hands, leveling his pistol at them, and Dandy Sam fires point-blank at the chief, whirls on his heel and runs like a deer down the street.
