But for the fact that the reptiles were on opposite sides of the canyon, it might be believed they were mates. The head and tail were elevated, the latter vibrating with the swift, hazy appearance at the end of the rattles which they had noted before.
From far and near, up and down the valley, dim, ghostly, shadowy horsemen came darting to join the array. Close behind Red Dog some rabid warrior began a wild war chant, and others took it up. Somewhere along the throng a tom-tom began its rapid, monotonous thump, and here, there, and everywhere the rattles played their weird, stirring accompaniment.

Slim was being given his birthday presents and was surrounded with nonsensical articles of every kind toys, rattles, all-day suckers, and so forth, and was convulsing the crowd with his antics.
Its tail was whirring angrily while the great triangular head waved slowly from side to side. Fascinated the boy stood as if rooted to the spot. Arnold was in direct line with Harry between himself and the snake, so dared not shoot. Harry's automatic had dropped from his nerveless fingers at the first alarming whir of the vibrating rattles.
If something were to happen which will not, then O Philosophy, Philosophy, you, too, are a good old nurse, and rattle your rattles for your little people, as well as old Dame World can do for hers. But what are we to have to-day for our first reading? Milverton. An Essay on Truth. Ellesmere.
