MOTOR MATT'S PRIZE
OR,
The Pluck that Wins.
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. 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.
A CLASH IN BLACK AND YELLOW.
Woosh!
Fo' de lan' sakes!
Then followed a bump, a clatter of displaced stones, and sounds of a fall. When quiet once more ensued, two surprised youngsters were on hands and knees, peering at each other like a couple of hostile bantams. Between them lay a string of perch, and off to one side a hickory fishpole, and an old tomato can with a choice assortment of angleworms squirming out of it.
One of the lads was a fifteen-year-old Chinese, in fluttering blouse, wide trousers, wooden sandals and straw hat; the other was a diminutive moke, black as the ace of spades, barefooted, and wearing a hickory shirt and ragged trousers.
