The story of an adventurer who went to Alaska and laid the

foundations of his fortune before the gold hunters arrived.

Bringing his fortunes to the States he is cheated out of it by a

crowd of money kings, and recovers it only at the muzzle of his

gun. He then starts out as a merciless exploiter on his own

account. Finally he takes to drinking and becomes a picture of

degeneration. About this time he falls in love with his

stenographer and wins her heart but not her hand and then--but

read the story!

A SON OF THE SUN. Illustrated by A.O. Fischer and C.W. Ashley.

David Grief was once a light-haired, blue-eyed youth who came

from England to the South Seas in search of adventure. Tanned

like a native and as lithe as a tiger, he became a real son of

the sun. The life appealed to him and he remained and became very

wealthy.

Charles Livingston Bull. Decorations by Charles E. Hooper.
