I believe the answer is:

lieu

'stead' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lieu that I've seen before include "Stead - place" , "The substitute" , "Place - position" , "In ... of; in exchange for" , "In - of means instead of" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Mirror, The Independent, the Universal, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times, The New York Times and the Penny Press.
