"Making time?" repeated Tom Rover as he gazed out of the car window at the telegraph poles flashing past. "I should say we were, Sam! Why, we must be running sixty miles an hour!" "If we are not we are making pretty close to it," came from a third boy of the party in the parlor car. "I think the engineer is trying to make up some of the time we lost at the last stop." "That must be it, Dick," said Sam Rover. "Gracious, how we are rocking!" he added as the train rushed around a sharp curve and nearly threw him from his chair. "I hope we get to Ashton on time," remarked Tom Rover. "I want to take a look around the grounds before it gets dark." "That's Tom, wanting to see it all before he sleeps!" cried Sam Rover with a grin.

Then came the sudden gripping of the air brakes on the car wheels, and the express came to a stop with a shock that pitched all the passengers from their seats. Tom and Sam went sprawling in a heap in the aisle and Dick came down on top of them. "Hi, get off of me!" spluttered Sam, who was underneath. "What's the matter? Have we run into another train?" asked Tom as he pushed Dick to one side and arose. "I don't know," answered the older brother. "Something is wrong, that's certain." "Are you hurt, Sam?" asked Tom as he helped the youngest Rover to his feet. "No not much," was the panting reply... Continue reading book >>
