At the conclusion of the story he sat up and rolled another cigarette. "And your uncle is upstairs in bed?" "Yes, when he wakes I guess he'll need a bracer. He'll be sober. He must play. Lablache means to win." "Yes, he means to win. He has had a bad scare." "What are we going to do?" The girl eyed her lover keenly. She saw by his manner that he was thinking rapidly.
An archer should have two sets of tips so that, should misfortune befall him and he loses one, he is not altogether undone. When not in use keep them in your pocket or strung on the strap of your bracer. In by-gone days they were sewed to straps which fastened to a wrist belt, thus were more secure from loss, but more cumbersome.
Practice the Cleansing Breath. The efficiency of this exercise depends greatly upon the speed of the drawing back of the fists, and the tension of the muscles, and, of course, upon the full lungs. This exercise must be tried to be appreciated. It is without equal as a "bracer," as our Western friends put it. The Yogis have a form of breathing to develop the voice.
Chester filled a glass, and crossing to the speaker, tendered it to him without a word; as for Selby, he stood stolidly enough, his hands thrust truculently beneath his coat-tails, frowning at me. "Come," said Mr. Chester persuasively, "Just a bracer!"
And I've got a change here for Swain," he added, with a gesture toward some garments he carried over one arm; "also a bracer to be administered to him," and he drew a flask from his pocket and handed it to me. "Maybe you need one, yourself," he added, smiling drily, "since you've taken to hearing rustling robes."
It was hardly daybreak when we reached San Angelo, rustled out a sleepy hostler at the livery stable where the team belonged, and had the horses cared for; and as we left the stable the doctor gave me his instrument case, while he carried the amputated leg in the paper. We both felt the need of a bracer after our night's ride, so we looked around to see if any saloons were open.
"Are you sleepy, Mr. Ridge?" she asked. Hugh turned quickly and looked into the face of Lady Huntingford. "Not at all," he replied. "But how strange it seems that you should always appear like the fairy queen when I am most in need of a bracer. Oh, I beg your pardon," he went on, rising in some perturbation. "I forgot that there is a a barrier between us. War has been declared, I fear."
"Are you here in the dark? You must have fallen asleep in your chair." "And dreaming." She rose, shading her eyes from the sudden glare. "But it was a wretched dream, Marcia; I am glad you wakened me. Where is Elizabeth?" "Making Frederic's cocktail. He needed a bracer to go through a business meeting with Stuart Foster; but she will be here directly.
Here, I'll drink with you, and then I'll smoke a cigar with Moss. If you are going to be men you want to start right in. Eh, Rockley?" "That's right, Lew," answered Rockley, as he lit a fresh cigar. "What you need is another glass, Davis," came from Pender. "It will act as a bracer. Just try it and see." "I I don't want to get get " faltered Davis. "Get what?" "Intoxicated really I don't "
This proved to be one of the days of his stopping in, and he arrived just as Karl was dictating a few final sentences to Mr. Ross. While they were finishing he said he was not in a hurry today he took a keen look at Karl's face. His colour was not good the doctor thought; in fact several things were not to his liking. "Too many hard times with himself," he summed it up. "Droopy. Needs a bracer.
