She would make quite a sensation in New York, thought Violet Wentworth, this golden-haired, barefooted girl who had lived all her life in a log cabin in the Bad Lands. And if Mrs. Wentworth was embarrassed at times by Fraley's intimate knowledge of the Bible, she nevertheless decided to take this lovely child and introduce her to the sophisticated, bored society of New York.

But she had counted without Fraley's upright honesty and her refusal to lead the degenerate, dissipated life of New York society. For to Fraley who had fled alone, at night, through the wilderness from the drunken men who had killed her father - cocktails were not a temptation. Yet it was fortunate for Fraley that George Rivington Seabrook, who had helped her in her escape from the Bad Lands, stood ready to help her again in another escape which was no less dangerous and difficult.
