"Oh, that's all right; Mr. Gibson knew what he was doing. You will find it all right when the Judge hears the case. Now, do you know where the business college is situated?"
Julian was not so sure about that, but he received certain instructions from Mr. Fay that made him think he could find it; so the boys put on their caps and went out.

"The boss mechanic?" he repeated, in a surprised tone.
"He means the man who is at the head of this institution," said Julian. We want to see him for a few minutes, if you please."
"Oh, yes," said the young man, as he gave Jack a looking over. "I guess you have worked at manual labor all your life."
