Father, exclaimed Tom Swift, looking up from a paper he was reading, I think I can win that prize! What prize is that? inquired the aged inventor, gazing away from a drawing of a complicated machine, and pausing in his task of making some intricate calculations. You don't mean to say, Tom, that you're going to have a try for a government prize for a submarine, after all. No, not a submarine prize, dad, and the youth laughed. Though our Advance would take the prize away from almost any other under-water boat, I imagine. No, it's another prize I'm thinking about. What do you mean? Well, I see by this paper that the Touring Club of America has offered three thousand dollars for the speediest electric car. The tests are to come off this fall, on a new and specially built track on Long Island, and it's to be an endurance contest for twenty-four hours, or a race for distance, they haven't yet decided. But I'm going to have a try for it, dad, and, besides winning the prize, I think I'll take Andy Foger down a peg. What's Andy been doing now? Oh, nothing more than usual. He's always mean, and looking for a chance to make trouble for me, but I didn't refer to anything special He has a new auto, you know, and he boasts that it's the fastest one in this country. I'll show him that it isn't, for I'm going to win this prize with the speediest car on the road.
