Ruth Fielding at the War Front
by Alice B. Emerson
Ruth continues her work at the Red Cross and is soon transferred to a hospital on the front lines of the war. Ruth faces the real danger of possible death, but soon becomes more worried. Ruth asks a friend if there is any news about Tom Cameron and learns that he has disappeared in Germany - and is suspected of working for the Germans! Ruth struggled, but she was sure Tom would never betray his country. Ruth meets Countess Marchand and her son, Major Marchand. Ruth trusts the countess completely, but suspects that her son may work for the Germans. One day, Ruth is walking down the road when a strange note falls from the plane. The note reads, "Don't believe everything you hear." It is handwritten by Tom Cameron. Ruth realizes that Tom must be on a secret mission in German territory. "Stop!" was a sudden order. Soon, Ruth has an unlikely ally who knows about Tom. They hatch a brave plan that requires Ruth to enter enemy territory in disguise before Tom can be rescued. Ruth willingly accepts the plan, but will it keep her alive?
