Ruth has always been spoken of as one of the quietest girls in our class. She is gentle, not only in actions, but also in speech. In fact, she’s so retiring that we feel we do not know her as well as we might There are rumors afloat, however, that she is not so silent outside of school. But as she leaves town on the bus for Hope Valley as soon as school closes, we lose track of her, and cannot tell how true these rumors are.
