THE ARGOSY CONTENTS FOR JUNE, 1914 The entire contents of this magazine are protected by copyright, and must not be reprinted without the publishers’ permission A FULL BOOK-LENGTH NOVEL COMPLETE GOLD GRABBERS WILLIAM WALLACE COOK 481 An old Argosy favorite returns this month with a mining story that is essentially dramatic, worked out with well-drawn characters and backed by a plot that combines great interest, colorful background, and exciting climaxes. Mr. Cook’s work is always charactenzed by painstaking care in truthful details and accuracy in local color. This is the story of a young man who becomes involved in a mystery surrounding the looting of a mine owned by a financier who was once his "pardner" as a prospector, but who has dropped some of his ideals as he acquired a fortune. There is a woman and love interest—altogether a fine combination of clean, interesting story. A COMPLETE NOVELETTE THE THING THAT WAS CAESAR'S GEORGE BRYDGES RODNEY War in Mexico, war in the Balkans—always war in the trail of the silver box which a Chinese priest had aboard a plague ship in the China Sea. This silver box was made from the thirty pieces of silver which was the price paid to Judas for the betrayal, and it had been in Cesar’s legions. Captain Rodney wrote "Sailing with Morgan" and his same fine style and realism are found in this stirring tale, which is long as the ordinary novel. It is as good as a trip to China, and Rodney has been over the ground.
