MOTOR MATT'S TRIUMPH;
OR,
THREE SPEEDS FORWARD.
By the author of MOTOR MATT.
Matt King , concerning whom there has always been a mystery—a lad of splendid athletic abilities, and never-failing nerve, who has won for himself, among the boys of the Western town, the popular name of Mile-a-minute Matt. Chub McReady , sometimes called plain Reddy, for short, on account of his fiery thatch —a chum of Matt, with a streak of genius for inventing things that often lands the bold experimenter in trouble. Carl Pretzel , a cheerful and rollicking German lad, who is led by a fortunate accident to hook up with Motor Matt in double harness. Colonel Plympton , secretary of the Stark-Frisbie Motor Company. Uncle Tom , an old darky who was once a member of a traveling dramatic company, but who is now, by self-appointment, Motor Matt's 'fishul mascot. Mr. Trueman , of the Jarret Company, who gives Matt car No. 13 in the race. Slocum , an unprincipled schemer, who plays a deep game. Sercomb , Mings , Higgins , Grier , Finn , Martin , } six members of the Motor Drivers Association, some of whom prove themselves ready to go to any length to keep Motor Matt out of the great race for the Borden Cup.

The clamor which suddenly arose in that dark Denver cross-street was as suddenly hushed.
It was about nine o'clock in the evening, and two lamps on distant corners shed about as much light as a pair of tallow-dips. Midway between the two street-lamps lay the mouth of a gloomy alley, and here it was that the frantic commotion burst out and died abruptly.
