But a lot of good they'll do us, to-night," returned Helen.
"Miss, you'd do well to change right here," said Roy, earnestly.

"It'll save time in the long run an' a lot of sufferin' before sunup." Helen stared at the young man, absolutely amazed with his simplicity.
She was advised to change her traveling-dress for a riding-suit--out somewhere in a cold, windy desert--in the middle of the night--among strange young men! "Bo, which bag is it ?" asked Dale, as if she were his sister.

And when she indicated the one, he picked it up.

"Come off the road." Bo followed him, and Helen found herself mechanically at their heels.
Dale led them a few paces off the road behind some low bushes.
"Hurry an' change here," he said.

"We'll make a pack of your outfit an' leave room for this bag." Then he stalked away and in a few strides disappeared.
Bo sat down to begin unlacing her shoes.
