MOTOR MATT'S MARINER;
OR,
Filling the Bill for Bunce.
By the author of MOOR 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. Tsan Ti , Mandarin of the Red Button, who proves adept in the ways of Oriental craft, and shows how easy it is for a person to shift his dangers and responsibilities to other shoulders—if only he goes about it in the right way. Philo Grattan , a talented person who devotes himself to tricks that are dark and ways that are vain, and whose superb assurance leads him to flaunt his most memorable crime in the face of the authorities through the medium of moving pictures. A man fitted by nature for a worthier part than he plays, and whose keen mind is not able to save him from deception. Bunce , the mariner, and a pal of Grattan. Pardo , who charters a power-boat and uses it in forwarding a plot of Grattan's. Bronson , a railroad superintendent, who appears briefly but creditably.
BUDDHA'S EYE.
It's three long and weary hours, pard, before the boat for New York ties up at the landing. You don't want to cool your heels in the hotel, do you, while we're waiting? How about doing something to fill in the time?
It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and Motor Matt and his cowboy chum, Joe McGlory, were sitting on the porch of their hotel in Catskill-on-the-Hudson. The hotel was on an elevation, and the boys could look out over the river and see the lights of steamers, tugs, motor boats, and other craft gliding up and down in a glittering maze.
Matt had been looking down at the river lights, and dreaming. He aroused himself with a start at the sound of his chum's voice.
What would you suggest, Joe? he asked.
