Here ends the story of Ragged Dick. As Fosdick said, he is Ragged Dick
no longer. He has taken a step upward, and is determined to mount still
higher. There are fresh adventures in store for him, and for others who

the second of the series, to be called,--

FAME AND FORTUNE;

OR,

THE PROGRESS OF RICHARD HUNTER.
