Description

The sixth and last book of the Ragged Dick Series. Rufus, the former newsboy known as "Rough and Ready," starts work in a Wall Street broker's office and cares for his little sister Rose. Their drunken stepfather, James Martin, will not leave them alone. With a partner he plots to snatch the tin box of money and securities that Rufus carries from the bank for his employer, and Rufus must protect his job, his savings and his sister.

Published in 1870, it closes the series that began with Ragged Dick and continues the story told in Rough and Ready.
