MOTOR MATT'S ENEMIES;
OR,
A STRUGGLE FOR THE RIGHT.
By the author of MOTOR MATT.
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. George Lorry , a lad who has begun steering a wrong course, and in whom Matt recognizes a victim of circumstances rather than a youth who is innately conceited, domineering and unscrupulous. Lorry, Sr. , George's father; a rich man whose attitude toward Motor Matt, in part of the story, is as incomprehensible as it is uncalled-for. Big John , an unscrupulous person who takes his dishonest toll wherever he can find it; but, in crossing Motor Matt's course, he meets with rather more than he has bargained for. Kinky , a pal of Big John. Ross , another pal of Big John; a desperate man with a grievance against Motor Matt. Ollie Merton , a rich man's son with many failings, but rather deeper than he appears. Pickerel Pete , a superstitious little moke who collects two dollars from Motor Matt for a day's work and abruptly resigns.
ON THE ROAD TO WAUNAKEE.
Do you know what you're doing, John?
If I didn't, Ollie, I wouldn't be doing it. I'm not one of these fellows who take a jump in the dark and trust to luck.
Then it's about time you put me wise. I've been taking jumps in the dark ever since you showed up in Madison yesterday.
The man with the closely cropped red hair, the smooth face, and the mole on his cheek laughed softly.
