Excerpt from Ruth of the U. S. A Upon that particular Tuesday morning, the fifth day of this halt, a girl named Ruth Alden awoke in an under heated room at an Ontario Street boarding house awoke, merely one of the millions of the inconsiderable in Chicago as yet forbidden any extraordinary transaction either to her credit or to her debit in the mighty accounts of the world war.

That was, Ruth would like, if she could, to welcome him home to his own people and to thank him that day, in the name of his city and of his country, for what he had done. But this was to her then merely a wild, unrealizable fantasy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
