Rice, Mrs. Alice Caldwell Hegan (Mrs. Cale Young Rice). Sandy. [†]$1. Century.
In turning away from Mrs. Wiggs and Lovey Mary, Mrs. Rice has chosen to import the irresponsible, hot-headed, impulsive Irish boy, Sandy. All the way from stowaway on an American liner to the successful college graduate, and the hero of an ambitious romance, he runs a curious round of chance which claims him for a boot-black, newsboy, peddler, and finally drops him into the keeping of a kind-hearted old judge, who starts him along the road to fortune.
“The story is a good deal more than readable.”
