"Where is your camp to be?"
"We don't know, except we're to take up some government land adjacent to yours. But your name isn't on our survey map."
"No, we have the old Ames claim," replied Charlotte. "You must plan to stay with us until your camp is set up."
"You're very kind," said Roger.
"It's a God-send to have neighbors coming to us," the girl went on.
Roger made no reply and the road becoming unbelievably rough, Charley gave her attention to holding Felicia on the seat and nothing more was said until Preble called back,
"Careful through this gate, Moore! Wait till I get a light."
"We're home," said Charley. "Wake up, Felicia dear."
Dick appeared in a moment with a lighted candle stuck within and on the side of an empty can. It threw a long finger of light on the gate posts of a corral.
"We call those candle-lanterns, 'lightning bugs,' down here," explained Charley. "'Bugs,' for short."
