The last mile was covered in record-breaking time, and before the cuckoo clock struck seven the children and goats and dog all came galloping into the yard together. The next day, and the day after that, the same lesson was repeated. The Twins went away with Fritz in the early morning and stayed all day long with the goats and came home with him in the sunset glow.
This was little more than one-quarter of the load hauled by the New York Central engine on its magnificent run, when the weight of the cars making the train was 565,000 pounds. With the types of locomotive used on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern it was not possible to haul at record-breaking speed any such load as this.
"Gee whiz, Bev! What's let loose?" cried Athol, trying to respond to Apache's nozzling, whinnying demonstrations of delight and reach his sister's extended hands at the same time, while Archie did his record-breaking sprint across the gridiron, and the whole field came boiling toward them. "I have. Don't you see I've been run away with?
At two o'clock the bleachers were packed, and the side lines were broad and black with a good-natured, jostling crowd. And every minute the numbers were increasing. Truly Sunrise had never before known such an auspicious day, such record-breaking gate receipts, nor such sure promise of success. The game was called for half-past two. It was three o'clock now and the line-up had not been formed.
"Oh! if I've 'plugged' hard in the past over those fierce first principles of mechanics, electricity, optics, heat and the rest and those 'grueling' laws of gravitation that's just nothing, a scantling compared to the way I'm going to study and make a hit when I get on into college," she cried; "so so that, some day, I can, really, work with you, Toandoah you record-breaking inventor oh! dearest father ever was."
They obtained, about a week later, the New York papers containing an account of the record-breaking day. When Harley opened the Monitor, Churchill's paper, he read these head-lines: GRAYSON'S GAB But when he looked at the Gazette, he saw the following head-lines over his own account: HIS GREATEST SPEECH Harley sighed with satisfaction.
A flood of excitement swept through him. But how foolish to expect that it would fall to him. He had taught but one year, and he was only twenty-five. People still spoke of Harry Spear's having been given his Assistant Professorship at the end of three years as a record-breaking performance.
To which he replied with this record-breaking joke: "Those are the H's that Englishmen have been dropping for generations, and being characteristic of this solid nation, they thus ossified them." I forgave Jimmie a good deal for that joke. At the pier at Henley a man met us with a little boat and rowed us up the river, past dozens of house-boats moored along the bank.
The engineer had watched the face of a brother of his craft one night when the latter had been driving a roaring monster down a grade at record-breaking speed into a wall of rain-soaked darkness out of which might thunder at any instant another roaring monster, coming in the opposite direction. There had been a mistake in orders, and the train was running against time to make a switch.
It was in every sense a highly colored description of her father's record-breaking invention, dwelling particularly, though vaguely, upon the experiments so soon to take place with a lesser Thunder Bird, a smaller rocket, from the remote and misty top of old Mount Greylock.
