CHAPTER I.
MOLLIE FINDS A FRIEND.

Mollie Heatherford had thought no more of her brave act, by which, at the risk of her life, she had saved the child Lucille from being trampled to death under the hoofs of the pawing horses.

The next morning she was greatly surprised to receive a letter from a gentleman—Monsieur Jules Lamonti, by name—who said he was the grandfather of little Lucille, and who, after expressing his gratitude in most heartfelt terms, requested permission to call upon her at her earliest convenience.
