CHARACTERS THAT APPEAR IN THIS STORY.
Reading edition
Matt King, otherwise Motor Matt.
Joe McGlory, a young cowboy who proves himself a lad of worth and character, and whose eccentricities are all on the humorous side. A good chum to tie to—a point Motor Matt is quick to perceive.
Ping Pong, a Chinese boy who insists on working for Motor Matt, and who contrives to make himself valuable, perhaps invaluable.
George Lorry, who, befriended by Motor Matt at a critical time in his career, proves a credit to himself and to his friends.
Mr. Lorry, George's father; a man who knows how to be generous.
Ethel Lorry, George Lorry's sister; an admirer of Motor Matt.
Pickerel Pete, whose elemental mind evolves a grievance against Motor Matt and is further worked upon by an unscrupulous enemy of Lorry and Matt. The result is almost a tragedy.
Ollie Merton, a rich man's son with many failings, but rather deeper than he appears.
