RUTH FIELDING IN ALASKA

THE THREAT

"The contents of the missive appear to worry you, Ruth, my love. If that scowl should freeze on your face, your beauty would be marred forever."

Stretched full length on the grass beneath a tree whose branches spread a grateful shade, Helen Cameron regarded her friend with an amused and interested smile. As the latter appeared not to notice her sally, she tried again.

"Can't you tell me what dreadful news the letter contains?"

Ruth Fielding thus questioned, looked up slowly and sighed. She gestured with the hand that held her letter.

"It's from that horrid Bloomberg, Helen," she said.

"Sol Bloomberg!" Immediately interested, Helen sat up with a jerk and hugged her knees, gazing expectantly at her chum. "Don't tell me he, too, has fallen a victim to your charms, Ruthie Fielding!"

"Don't be silly." Ruth spoke in a vague, preoccupied voice. "As a matter of fact," she added ruefully, "I imagine whatever feeling Sol Bloomberg has for me is far from a tender one."

"Then, what on earth is he writing to you about?" Helen was genuinely curious. "You aren't thinking of entering into a business deal with him, are you?"

Ruth chuckled.

"That hard-boiled cheat?" suggested Helen amiably.
