"Try it." "My kidneys are all right," protested Hal. "I don't need any medicine." "Take it for a bracer. It won't hurt you," urged the gnome. Hal looked at his father, and, at his nod, put his lips to the glass. "Why, it tastes like spiced whiskey!" he cried. "Not so far out of the way. Columbian spirits, caramel, cinnamon and cardamom, and a touch of the buchu. Good for the blues. Finish it."

The thing had only come home to Derek yesterday at the Albany, when the painful episode of Wally Mason had occurred. It was this way: "Hullo, Freddie, old top! Sorry to have kept you waiting." Freddie looked up from his broken meditations, to find that his host had arrived. "Hullo!" "A quick bracer," said Algy Martyn, "and then the jolly old food-stuffs. It's pretty late, I see.

The first occasion on which you go afield with bow, bowstring, arrow, quiver, bracer, and finger tips all of your own composition, and loose the shaft and the thing not only flies well but straight and far, you will taste a wonder and a satisfaction new to your experience. It will probably take you some time to convince yourself that somehow the whole outfit is not a base imitation.

It is certain with a good breath support even nervousness need not prevent one from singing well, although one may be actually suffering from trepidation. Yet we know that sometimes the greatest of artists are prevented thus from doing their best work. The principle, however, remains unshaken that singing in a correct way is the greatest possible "bracer."

"It's Lester," I said, and Godfrey flashed his torch into my face, then back to Swain's. "But you're not alone." "No; this is Mr. Godfrey." "Mr. Godfrey?" "Whose house we're staying at," I explained. "Ah!" said Swain, and put one hand to his head and leaned heavily against the ladder. "I think we'd better go to the house," Godfrey suggested, soothingly. "We all need a bracer. Then we can talk.

"Do you think I'd risk my neck if I were likely to be pinched? Gad! I know my way around too well for that." "But you don't understand," whispered the other in mortal terror. "By some means the detective bureau may know of your existence. Rachel promised to be close-lipped, but " "Oh, take a bracer out of that decanter.

He had given Halloran his promise to abstain from touching even a drop of liquor, fully realizing it to be his mortal foe; but with Kendale a promise amounted to scarcely a flip of his white fingers when it ran contrary to his own desires. He told himself that he must have a "bracer" to steady his nerves.

And when we have done our stunt in the way of advice let's send him away with a fine good humor. A friendly pat on the back as he goes out our doorway may mean a bracer to his determination. "You'll put it over," we shout after him and thus we have been of real help. He needed sympathy and courage. He needed a cheerful spirit so came to us and we didn't let him go away until we gave him all these.

The peaceful pastures at Grafton, the still September afternoon when the Colonel died, the old man himself, there was something in them beyond mere energy, quite outside the Potts philosophy. Once she ventured to suggest this doubt to Cornelia Woodyard, who, being temporarily in need of a bracer, had resorted to "old Pot." She had planned to go to the opera that night and wanted to "be herself."

Sir Austin had this gift. He spoke as if he saw the truth, and, persisting in it so long, he was accredited by those who did not understand him, and silenced them that did. "We shall see," was all the argument left to Dr. Clifford, and other unbelievers. So far certainly the experiment had succeeded. A comelier, bracer, better boy was nowhere to be met.
