Table of Contents.
Frank Reade, Jr., the inventor of many wonderful machines and whose fame was world wide, sat in his study one day in September looking over a heap of mail matter which the servant had just brought in.
He was a handsome dark complexioned young man with a distingue air and that individuality of appearance which stamps the man of genius.
Frank’s father was a famous inventor before him.
Foremost among Frank Reade, Jr.’s inventions was the New Steam Man, a machine of truly wonderful character.
We will not attempt a description of the Steam Man for certain good reasons until later; first let us give our attention for the moment to the young inventor.
