CHAPTER XVI.

In the course Of time Sypher returned
to London to fight losing battle against
the powers Of darkness and derive what
ever inspiration he could from Zoras let
tiers. He also called dutifully at ''The
Nook: during his weekend visits to Pen
ton Court, where he found restfuIness In
the atmosphere of lavender. Mrs. Old
rieve continued to regard him as a most
superior person. Cousin Jane. as became
a gentlewoman Of breeding, received him
with courtesy-but courtesy marked by
that shade Of reserve which is due from
"a lady Of quality to the grandfatheriess
II she had not striven against the unre-
generacy of mortal flesh she would have
disapproved Of him offhand because she
disapproved Of Fora; but she was con-
scienttous woman, and took great pride In
overcoming prejudices. She also collected
pewter. the history of which Syphei. dur
ing his years Of self-education, had once
studied. in the confused notion that IT
was culture. All knowledge is good: from
the theory Of quaternions to the way to
cut q ham frill. 1t is sure TO come In
useful, somehow. An authority on Gen.
trail African dialects has been known to
find them invaluable in alterations with
cabmen and q converted burglar has. be-
fore now, become an admirable house
agent What Sypher, therefore. had con-
sidered merely learned lumber In his head

for dismalness

On another occasion Shuttleworth said:
I'VE are throwing money away on ad
Eertisements. The concern can't stand
it,"
Sypher turned, blue pencil in hand from
the wall where draft proofs Of advertise
ments were pinned for his correction and
masters touch. This was part of the
business that he loved. 1t appealed to
the flamboyant in his nature. 1t particu-
larry pleased him to see omnibuses pass
by bearing the famous "Sypher's Cure

in streaming letters of blood.

and his air was that of the racing Mis-
sissippi captains Of old days, who, in re-
Spouse to the eXpostulation of their en-
gineers, sent little niger boy to sit on
the safety valve.
The dismal manager turned up his eyes
to heaven with the air Of the family
steward in Hogarth's Marriage a la
Mode He had not his chiefs Napo-
leonic mind; but he had q wife and
large family. Glenn Sypher also thought
of that-not only Of Shuttleworth's wife
and family, but also of the wives and
families Of the many men in his employ.
1t kept him awake at nights.
