Every-whither down the cone-shaped mounds are tiny steam-heated rivulets interlacing each other, edged with gold and vermilion and turquoise and orange and opal. Indian trails have been found also interlacing each other all through this wonderland. Deep furrows in the grassy slopes of these ancient footprints are still plainly visible.
Whenever the circumscribed hectic flush is on the cheek, it looks as though the cheek had been painted with vermilion, then is the time when the palms of the hands are burning hot. Crabbe, in the following lines, graphically describes the hectic flush:
Lake and flake white, shaded with carmine; bistre and vermilion shaded with black. Changeable Silk. Red lead and masticot water, shaded with sap-green and verdigris. Another. Lake and yellow, shaded with lake and Prussian blue. Cloud Colour. Light masticot, or lake and white, shaded with blue verditer. Another. Constant white and Indian ink, and a little vermilion. Another.

And now the last of the great rapids had been run the rapid of the Slave and the scows were almost loaded. Vermilion, the boss scowman, stood upon the running-board of the leading scow and directed the stowing of the freight. He was a picturesque figure Vermilion.

"We must stop the train," she said. "We must wave something red at it. Red always means danger." "Mollie's tie," exclaimed Amy. Mollie was wearing a bright vermilion scarf knotted about the collar of her blouse. "It isn't big enough," decided Betty. "But we must do something. That man said the train would come along soon.
