"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. His journey quickly becomes perilous as he becomes embroiled in a plot involving stolen railroad bonds and a conspiracy against him, led by the sinister bookkeeper Felix Hardwick and the disgruntled former office boy, Dick Ferris. 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.
