THE SUBSTITUTE MILLIONAIRE,

THE SUBSTITUTE MILLIONAIRE. By Hulburt Footner. George H. Doran Company. publishers, New York, N. Y. Price s1.50. "The Substitute Million
 aire" is a book that is full of life and pep from the beginning to the end. It is a combination of humor wit, mys- tery and adventure. When you start reading the book you don't want to put it down until you have finished it. Jack Norman on his way to work one morning read of the assassination of Silas Clyde, the multimillionaire. He was earning SIP a week. He had a vision of what he. would do if he had Silas Gyde's money. As he entered his place of employment he had some words with the boss and was fired. As he left the building he was handed a letter than had come by mail from the president of one of the largest banks, asking him to call and see him. The president informed him that he was Elias Gyde's heir. From that moment things began to happen. The old mill ionaire had left a series of letters to his heir informing him of threats he had received from the anarchists. Jack Norman made a VOW he would run this gang of assa ssinS to earth. One of the first moves he made was to hide his identity by providing a substitute Jack Norman, he acting as his sub -secre- tary and directing the moves. They received several threatening letters and were blackmailed and the game began to get exciting. Suffice it to say that the persistency of the heir was rewarded and he succeeded in break ing up the gang and bringing the
 leader to justice. The humorous situ- ations that develop as the story pro ceeds will bring forth more than one good laugh. And last but not least the successful continuation of tho young heirs love affair deserves men

 at least one good love story? Jacl
