Publisher's Synopsis
1913. Illustrated. Ruth Fielding is one of the early Stratemeyer Syndicate series for young girls written under the pen name of Alice B. Emerson. Ruth Fielding was an orphan who came to live with her miserly uncle. Her adventures and travels will hold the interest of every reader. In this volume she is helping the war effort by working in the Red Cross. This story begins: I don't think we'd better go home that way, Helen. Why not? Mr. Bassett won't care-and it's the nearest way to the road. But he's got a sign up-and his cattle run in this pasture, said Ruth Fielding, who, with her chum, Helen Cameron, and Helen's twin brother, Tom, had been skating on the Lumano River, where the ice was smooth below the mouth of the creek which emptied into the larger stream near the Red Mill.
