Excerpt from Red Ruth: The Birth of Universal Brotherhood In the heart of man is the food That shall sustain the brotherhood. With slow strokes the magnificent liner, Ala bastis, touched the shore of one of the South Sea Islands, the home of dark, half-clad, semi civilized man. She carried many passengers who had been her occupants for nearly a year; now on her return to America, she had anchored here for a four-hour stop to give those on board an opportunity to see something of life on the island. The tall, distinguished-looking man who lavished so much attention upon two beautiful women was Mr. Gimble, a wealthy broker from New York. The ladies were his wife and daughter, a charming girl of twenty. They were accompanied by the Count De Laire, who had joined their party in Paris, attracted by the wealth and beauty of the American girl.
