This explosive cadence had echoed down the stream ahead of them; and now, as the panting crews emerged from the jungle, they found themselves flanked by a long line of their fellow-warriors, bristling with drawn arrows and ready spear points. But of the enemy whose presence that great xylophone had betokened there was no sign.
She passed through the office at five minutes to ten. When she reached Lange's winter garden, its clock said ten minutes past ten, but she knew it must be fast. Only one of the four musicians had arrived the man who played the drums, cymbals, triangle and xylophone a fat, discouraged old man who knew how easily he could be replaced.
"Sure!" says Garvey, swingin' back a Japanese screen and disclosin' a full trap outfit base drum with cymbals, worked by a foot pedal, xylophone blocks, triangle, and sand boards all rigged up next to a cabinet music machine. "Well, well!" says I. "All you lack is a leader and Sophie Tucker to screech and you could go on at Reisenwebers."
But how could that be when the skeleton had neither eyes nor a place to carry them? It thrashed its bony arms impatiently and its ribs rattled like a xylophone. The spectators were transfixed with fear, all except the culprit, who said, through the window, in a matter-of-fact way, "I left your head on the pole at the back door."
All her dresses strained about her provocative body, an emphasis rather than a covering of her slim maturity. They drifted, without further speech, out of the circles of wavering light, into the obscurity beyond. They sat, resting against a hillock of sod, facing the sinking visible rim of the moon. From the bog the frogs sounded like a continuously and lightly-struck xylophone.
Nor was Medora Phillips, though plump, at all the graceless, dumpy little body she sometimes taxed herself with being. "What? Oh, piano, I suppose." "Piano!" "What's wrong?" "The piano is common: it's assumed." "Oh, she performs on something unusual? Xylophone?" "Be serious." "Trombone? I've seen wonders done on that in a 'lady orchestra'." "Don't be grotesque."
With these he struck the slabs in rapid succession. Out rolled four notes of astonishing volume the first four notes of the musical scale. Again and again he ran them over, then stopped. The deep tones thrummed away along the creek and died. "By George! a big xylophone!" Knowlton exclaimed, admiringly. "It sure talks right out loud," said Tim. "Lot o' class to these guys, at that.
Whar's he at?" demanded Alexander in a clear voice that went through the place like the note of a xylophone. She stood out, a picture of serene beauty drawn against an infernally evil and confused background. Two of the wretched women came forward and bent upon her the full battery of their brazen and leering curiosity. "Pants!" exclaimed one of them satirically. "Ther wench hain't got no shame!"

The first of these effects is one of induction, and, from what has been said from an earlier part of this article, it will be understood that the analogy between the hydrodynamic and the electric phenomena is direct and complete. Like most musical instruments, the xylophone, had its origin in very remote times.
