“An electric locomotive that can make two miles a minute over a properly ballasted roadbed might not be an impossibility, ” said Mr. Barton Swift ruminatively. “It is one of those things that are coming, ” and he flashed his son, Tom Swift, a knowing smile. It had been a topic of conversation between them before the visitor from the West had been seated before the library fire and had sampled one of the elder Swift's good cigars.
