Tarrano the Conqueror Off to the left were pink tinted cliffs and a little farther dark cone-like buttes. The Man of the Desert On arriving at the butte, the white canvas was still visible; though from our low position on the plain, only the top of the tilt could be seen. The Wild Huntress Love in the Wilderness You send your boy to yon butte, and wave a hat any time during the day and we'll come, side arms ready. The Eagle's Heart On either side, beyond the heaped-up piles of ice, rose the scarred buttes, weather-worn into fantastic shapes and strangely blotched with spots of brown and yellow, purple and red.

The Eagle's Heart Here and there it was broken by a sunken water-course, dry in spite of a week of wet weather, or a low bluff or a cluster of small, round-topped buttes.
