Under a hide they lay; and when men raised up the hide, after the fire had done its work, "they were unburnt under it.
Muchos gracios, senor! They were piling on me three deep, right then, and I always believed they'd have got me, only for a tall vaquero I couldn't locate afterward." He smiled again that wonderful smile, which lighted the darkness of his eyes as with a flame, and murmured a sentence or two in Spanish. "Did you get the spurs me and my friends sent you afterward?" asked Andy eagerly.
'Yes, Helen answered her. 'You frien's Señor Alan? And when Helen, hesitating briefly, said 'Yes, Angela asked: 'You come from Santa Rita, no? 'No, said Helen. 'From San Juan and beyond. 'You come far, mumbled Angela. She scrutinized the girl keenly. Then abruptly, 'Senor Alan got muchos amigos to-day. Senor Juan Carr comes; El Joven with him.
"It is a sad story, truly; but the Indians, I understand, only make these forays at long intervals. I am not likely to meet with them now.

"But, senor," continued Jose, lowering his voice to a confidential tone, "there are other ladrones besides the Indians: white ones, muchos, muchissimos!
We lost little time saddling up, only taking five days' rations with us, for they were certain to recross the river before that time in case we failed to intercept them.
