"Goodness!" cried Helen, again, "just for fun."
"Well, it may be fun to find out just who built that fire and what for," said Ruth.
"And then again," objected her chum, "it may be no fun at all, but serious."
"I have a serious reason for finding out—if I can," Ruth declared.
"What is it, dear?"
"I'll tell you later," said Ruth. "Follow me now."
"If I do I'll not wear diamonds, and I may get into trouble," objected Helen.
"You've never got into very serious trouble yet by following my leadership," laughed Ruth. "Come on, Fraid-cat."
"Ain't! But we don't know who is over there. Just to think! A camp in the snow!"
"Well, we have camped in the snow ourselves," laughed Ruth, harking back to an adventure at Snow Camp that neither of them would ever be likely to forget.
