[CHARACTERS THAT APPEAR IN THIS STORY.]
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."
Carl Pretzel, a cheerful and rollicking German lad, who is led by a fortunate accident to hook up with Motor Matt in double harness.
Dick Ferral, a Canadian boy who has served his time in the King's navy, and bobs up in the States where he falls into plots and counter-plots, and comes near losing his life.
Hector Brady, a convict who breaks prison to wreak vengeance upon two members of his former band.
Helen Brady, Hector Brady's daughter, who helps Motor Matt.
Whipple and Pete, two members of Hector Brady's old band of air-ship thieves who are engineering a treacherous plot aimed at Brady. It is against them that Brady has vowed vengeance—and a queer twist of circumstances causes Brady to ask aid of Motor Matt in order that the scoundrels may be captured and Helen rescued.
Hooligan and his wife, scoundrelly caretakers in charge of a mansion in River Forest.
Harris, a policeman of South Chicago who aids Motor Matt in his work against the Bradys.
