A MYSTERY STORY THAT KEEPS
arine Green, the author of ''The Filigree
Ball. 1.-THE Leavenworth Case" ETC.,
needs no introduction to lovers of mystery
tales. So it is sufficient to such to say
that she has had published another book,
The Millionaire Baby. TO those who may
not have read the authors earlier stories
1t may be said that 1.-THE Millionaire
Baby is one to keep folk awake nights.
1t Will do that quite as effectively as a
baby with the Group, and whole lot more
entertainingly, from page L to page 1853,
With no lapses between.
The baby in question is years old the
child Of enormously wealthy parents, and
the prospective owner of untold mil
lions" One day she disappears. A de-
tectlve, who, thru a knowledge of the
family and of the child, has a clue to
start on, sets out to win the $50, 600 re-
ward offered for the child's return. He
does not impress one as a very clever de-
| tect1ve, but he is persistent, and the dis
coveries he makes keep the interest in his
| movements tense thruout. Incidentally
the author brings in a ghost story of 6
hlghly creepy sort, so that the play upor
the emotions is given a variety which
readers OF detective stories do not always
get.
For the most part, the author has 81
constructed her story that there is M
strain upon the readers credulity. Per
| haps the most severe is that the othe
detectives should have failed altogethe
to discover any of the tangled threads
that the "hero' is from the first engaged
In unraveling. However, that is thei
| business, and the reader need not worry
about them; he will find quite enough
problems to solve in the story as told
without borrowing other mysteries.
