CHAPTER XVII.
BEN FORMS A RESOLUTION.
"Does this car go up Madison Avenue?" asked Charles, after they had taken their seats.
"No," said Ben, "it goes up Fourth Avenue; but that's only one block away from Madison. We'll get out at Thirtieth Street."
"I'm glad you're with me; I might have a hard time finding the place if I were alone."
"Are you going to stay in the city long?" asked Ben.
"Yes, I am going to school here. Father is going to move here soon. Until he comes I shall stay with my Cousin Mary."
Ben felt quite sure that this must be his older sister, but did not like to ask.
