"What lies beyond those vast elevations?" he asked as he
pointed to a rugged mountain range farther down the Broad Highway.
"Back of those mountains lies the beautiful Wizard City, shut in from
all the world. Ask nothing more about it."
"But may I not enter it?"
"Not unless you are fortunate enough to discover one of the paths that
lead to the Summit. From thence one can see the City."
CHAPTER XVI.
EXPERT INVENTORS OF THE BROAD HIGHWAY.
1. Mr. World and Miss Church-Member fail to see the Ways and Means
Committee at work.
2. They are directed to the city where expert inventors are constantly
employed in devising weapons and all kinds of devices.
3. They see a few inventions which are just being perfected to
facilitate the services of the churches along the King's Highway.
After Mr. World's remarkable experiences on the Observatory, he gladly
called for his friend, Miss Church-Member, who accompanied him on
another branch of the Mountain Trolley.
They alighted at a station called Progress, and proceeded on the Broad
Highway. Neither of them became wearied in listening to the experiences
of the other during their brief separation.
