[CHAPTER VII.]
A PLAN THAT FAILED.
Motor Matt was as profoundly surprised at the way matters were falling out as were McGlory and Lorry. As McGlory had said, fate seemed to have selected Matt for the particular work of recovering Lorry's money.
"This is luck!" whispered Lorry. "If you can get back that money for me, Motor Matt, I'll give you five dollars."
"Don't strain yourself, George," grinned McGlory.
"I will," declared Lorry. "But you've got to get it back to-night. There's a boat for the Sandwich Islands to-morrow, and that's the one I was planning to take."
"You're not going to emigrate, George," asserted McGlory. "We need you right here in the United States for a spell yet."
Matt gave the cowboy a swift and expressive look.
"I think, Joe," said he, "that Lorry has been dictated to too much. Leave him alone and let him make his plans."
