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.

=Helen Brady=, Hector Brady's daughter, who helps Motor Matt.

=Hector Brady=, a rival inventor who has stolen his ideas from

Hamilton Jerrold. His air ship is called the Hawk and is used for

criminal purposes. Brady's attempt to secure Motor Matt's services as

driver of the Hawk brings about the undoing of the criminal gang.

=Hamilton Jerrold=, an honest inventor who has devoted his life to

aëronautics, and who has built a successful air ship called the Eagle.
