hey could reach their hotel sooner by the elevated railway.

"He look pale," she thought, considerately. "He did not sleep all
night. He never before travel on a steamboat!"

Jack meanwhile had a new sensation.

"This is the city!" he was saying to himself. "I'm really here. There
are no crowds, because it's Sunday,--but then!"

After walking a few minutes they came to a corner, where Mr.
Guilderaufenberg turned and said to Jack:

"Dees ees Proadvay. Dere ees no oder street in de vorlt dat ees so
long. Look dees vay und den look dat vay! So! Eh? Dot ees Proadvay.
Dere ees no oder city in de vorlt vere a beeg street keep Soonday!"

Not come back so far."

"I shall know where these are, any way," Jack replied.

After a short walk they came to City Hall Square.

"There!" Jack exclaimed. "I know this place! It's just like the
