CHAPTER XVI. ANOTHER TWIST--BY MATT AND M'GLORY.

THE MAN-EATER.

CHARACTERS THAT APPEAR IN THIS STORY.

=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.

=George Lorry=, a lad who has begun steering a wrong course, and in whom Matt recognizes a victim of circumstances rather than a youth who is innately conceited, domineering and unscrupulous.

=Ping Pong=, a young Chinese who wins a motor launch in a raffle and insists on working for Motor Matt. Full of heathen vagaries, he drops mysteriously out of the story--but is destined to be heard from again.

="Red-whiskers,"= otherwise "Big John," an unscrupulous person who takes his dishonest toll wherever he can find it; but, in crossing Motor Matt's course, he meets with rather more than he has bargained for.

=Kinky and Ross=, two pals of Big John.

=Landers=, another pal who proves treacherous.
