What pride and happiness to know that I am loved for myself, and myself alone! Should I be deceived, life in future will indeed be a blank." Hilda Wardhill, or rather Donna Hilda Escalante, was to be seen in her turret chamber in the same spot, and almost in the same position, as when first in her youth and glorious beauty she was introduced to the reader.
The color low down was red, dark blue, and purple in the clefts, yellow upon the heights, and in the distance rainbow-hued. A land of curves and color! Shefford uttered an exclamation. "That's Utah," said Mary. "I come often to sit here. You see that winding blue line. There.... That's San Juan Canyon. And the other dark line, that's Escalante Canyon.

The portion of this admirable work relating to the vicinity of the Colorado River will be found of great interest in this connection. The year following the Ives expedition, Captain Macomb was sent to examine the junction of the Green and Grand rivers.

Ronald reported to Lord Claymore the fresh discoveries that had been made. "All will go right, Morton, in the end, depend on that," he answered.
"Then the young officer whom I have so often and so unexpectedly met, and who appears to have such bitter animosity towards me, is no other than Hernan Escalante, the long-lost son of my kind patroness Donna Hilda?" exclaimed Ronald. "Such is the case," said Pedro Alvarez. "He has fallen in love with his fair cousin, and he believes that you are his rival.
