The Rover Boys In New York
or
Saving Their Father's Honor
by Arthur M. Winfield
INTRODUCTION
My Dear Boys: This volume is a complete story in itself, but forms the
seventeenth in a line issued under the general title of "The Rover Boys
Series for Young Americans."
As I have mentioned several times, in other volumes, this line was
started with the publication of "The Rover Boys at School," "On the
Ocean" and "In the Jungle." The cordial reception afforded the stories
called for the publication of the next volume, "The Rover Boys Out
West," and then, year after year, by the issuing of "On the Great

Lakes," "In Camp," "On Land and Sea," "On the River," "On the
Plains," "In Southern Waters," "On the Farm," "On Treasure Isle," "At
College," "Down East," and then by "In the Air," where we last met
them.
The boys are not as young as they once were-- indeed, in this book,
Dick, the oldest, gets married and settles down to business. But all are
as bright and lively as ever, and Tom is just as full of fun. When they
go to New York City they have some strenuous times, and all prove
their worth in more ways than one. Their father is in deep trouble and
they aid him, and clear up quite a mystery.
Up to this writing, the sale on this line of books is but a trifle short of
one million and a quarter copies! This is to me, of course, tremendously
gratifying. Again, as in the past, I thank my many readers for their
interest in what I have written for them; and I trust the perusal of my
works will do them good.
Affectionately and sincerely yours,
Arthur M. Winfield.

CHAPTER I
THE BOYS AT BRILL
"Boys, what do you say to a trip in the Dartaway this afternoon?"
"Suits me, Sam," replied Tom Rover.
"Providing the breeze doesn't get too strong," returned Dick Rover, as
he put up his hand to feel the air.
"Oh, I don't think it will blow too much," went on Sam Rover. "I don't
mind some air."

"But no more storms for me!" cried his brother Tom, with a shake of
his head. "That last old corker was enough for me."
"Where shall we go?" questioned Dick, with a queer little smile
creeping around the corners of his mouth.
"Oh, my, just to hear Dick!" cried Tom, with a grin. "As if he would go
anywhere but to Hope Seminary, to call on Dora!"
"And as if you would go anywhere but to call on Nellie, at the same
place!" retorted the oldest Rover boy.
"Now, children, children'" came sweetly from Sam. "You mustn't
quarrel about the dear girls. I know both of you are as much gone as
can be. But----"
"And how about Grace, Sam?" said Tom. "Didn't I hear you making up
some poetry about her yesterday, 'Those limpid eyes and pearly ears,
and'----"
"Rats, Tom! I don't make up poetry-- I leave that to Songbird,"
interrupted the youngest Rover boy. "Just the same, it will be nice to
call on the girls. They'll be looking for us some day this week."
"That's right-- and maybe we can give them a little ride,"
