No one, not even a young boy, can travel without money, as our author well knows, therefore he at once provided a liberal supply.

Louis is a fine young fellow with good principles and honor, so he can be trusted to spend his million wisely.

But he does not have entirely smooth sailing.

In the first place he has a rascally step-father whom he had to subjugate, a dear mother to protect and care for, and the missing million to find before he could commence his delightful travels.

They are all accomplished at last, and there was plenty of excitement and brave exploits in the doing of them, as the boy readers will find.
