Miss Billy : $b A neighborhood story
McNeely, Marian Hurd
Families of clergy -- Fiction; Neighborhoods -- Fiction; New York (N.Y.) -- Social life and customs -- Fiction
ONE of the most timely and startling stories of the day. A plan to
form a great Newspaper Trust, evolved in the brain of an enterprising
special correspondent, leads to the kidnapping of certain leading
Metropolitan millionaires and marooning them luxuriously on a Mexican
headland; the results--the panic in Wall Street, the search for the
kidnapped millionaires, their discovery and rescue are the chief
motives of the story, which has to do also with trusts, syndicates,
newspaper methods, and all the great monetary problems and financial
methods of the day. The story is full of adventure, full of humor,
and full of action and surprises, while the romance that develops in
its progress is altogether charming and delightful.
