Billy was a boy of ten who ran away from the boarding house after his mother had been carried off to the sanitarium, and his princess was the little French girl whom he found on the streets and befriended to the extent of buying her new clothes with his savings and entertaining her lavishly in his drygoods box home. Then after he had prospered at his trade of news boy he found kind aunts who took him to England to be educated, and who promised the princess that they would some day bring him back to her.
