her work on the scenario
of the five-reel drama, Ruth found time to look after Amy Gregg. Not that
the latter thanked her--far from it! Ruth, however, did what she thought
to be her duty toward the younger girl.
Once Jennie Stone hinted that she suspected Amy of starting the dormitory
fire, but Ruth stopped her with:
"Be careful what you say, Jennie Stone. I am sure you would not want to
set the other girls against little Gregg. She's apt to have a hard time

some, they're goin' to be gold ones!' Couldn't get ahead of her--and
nobody can get the best of _you_, Ruthie Fielding! You've always an answer
ready."
At Mrs. Sadoc Smith's, Amy Gregg had just as little to do with the three
