ith her
uncle, and with Aunt Alvirah Boggs, who was "everybody's aunt" but
nobody's relative.
The first and closest friends of her own age that Ruth made in her new
home were Helen and Tom Cameron, twin children of a wealthy merchant
whose all-year home was not far from the Red Mill. With Helen and Mercy
Curtis, a lame girl, Ruth is sent to Briarwood Hall, a delightfully
situated boarding school at some distance from the girls' homes, and
there, in the second volume of the series, Ruth is introduced to new
scenes, some new friends and a few enemies; but altogether has a
delightful time.
Ensuing volumes tell of Ruth and her chums' adventures at Snow Camp; at
Lighthouse Point; on Silver Ranch, in Montana; on Cliff Island, where
occur a number of remarkable winter incidents; at Sunset Farm during the
previous summer; and finally, in the eighth volume, the one immediately
preceding this present story, Ruth achieves something that she has long,
long desired.
This last volume, called "Ruth Fielding and the Gypsies; Or, The Missing
Pearl Necklace," tells of an automobile trip which Ruth and her present
companions, Helen and Tom Cameron, took through the hills some distance
beyond the Red Mill and Cheslow, their home town.
They fall into the hands of Gypsies and the two girls are actually held
captive by the old and vindictive Gypsy Queen. Through Ruth's bravery
Helen escapes and takes the news of the capture back to Tom. Later the
grandson of the old Gypsy Queen releases Ruth.
While at the camp Ruth sees a wonderful pearl necklace in the hands of
the covetous old Queen Zelaya. Later, when the girls return to Briarwood,
they learn that an aunt of one of their friends, Nettie Parsons, has been
robbed of just such a necklace.
Ruth, through Mr. Cameron, puts the police on the trail of the Gypsies.
The Gypsy boy, Roberto, is rescued and in time becomes a protege of Mr.
Cameron, while the stolen necklace is recovered from the Gypsy Queen, who
is deported by the Washington authoritie
