THE END OF HER JOURNEY.

IN FOUR CHAPTERS.

Feo>i " Temple Bar."

Chapter I.

Mrs Edward Archerson was not an attractive little woman, but she had a thousand & year of her own, and people generally supposed that this was why c Teddy A.,' as his friends called him, had rather suddenly married her. He was known to be hard up and tolerably in debt, he had done nothing at the Bar, and it seemed unlikely that he ever would do much. At Cambridge he had been exceedingly popular, played an excellent hand at whist, and took a very mild degree. After he came to London, his rooms being pretty and his landlady obliging, he felt that it would be utter folly not to entertain; so he entertained a good deal. There was a bailiff downstairs one evening, while Teddy upstairs was giving one of his most successful par ties, and after that things came to a crisis.

•Something will have to be done, or I shall bust up,' he said to himself. •Must turn over a new leaf and be respectable, for this sort of thing can't go on.' And it didn't go on. He turned over the new leaf, to a cer tain extent, and became moderately respectable, openly laughing at himself all the time. Then, perhaps thinking it was no use doing things by halves, he became very respectable indeed, and married Mildred Benson after a short engagement, and settled down to hard ■work, routine, and the ways of domes ticity. His wife was a good gentle little soul with a pale face, rather pathetic grey eyes, and a quantity of dull fair hair done up in very neat plaits. In manner she was quiet, seldom talked much, and was perhaps a little too tame; for it was absolutely certain— and that you knew directly you looked a t her —that she would never make her self disagreeable to anyone, come what might. Moreover, she was one of those women who weep when they would do wiser to scorn. She was immoderately in love with Teddy when 3he married him, that was quite evident to every one, except perhaps to Teddy—a cling ing worshipping love that expected little, exacted nothing, and satisfied it self in giving all, consciously asking no return. Teddy, it *.vas also equally evident, was only very moderately in love with her, and, as a natural conse quence, took her love for him as a fact that was pleasant but not of much im portance. Still he was an attentive husband, he thought it good form to be attentive to his wife; besides he was a gentleman, and there are some little evidences of being a gentleman that he thought a man should never forget to give. So on the whole they got on very Well together, and if there was not much billing and cooing there was never any bickering. At first after their marriage they went out a good deal. Teddy took his wife to parties, and sometimes to a theatre; but he never noticed what she wore, or with whom she talked, or took much interest in what she did or said. Once they spent a day on the r i ver — a whole day; but it was so long before evening time he would never repeat the experiment, though she en joyed it enormously, so she said. .? The river is all very well, but it doesn't do with your wife,' Teddy thought to himself. ' She is horribly in the way, and makes everything feel played out.' After a time Teddy said ne was tired of parties, and made ex cuses. It also became known in the family that he was disappointed at not having any little ones, tor he had al ways been devoted to children; but he got over that after a few years. Then almost suddenly he took to stay ing a good deal at his club, and en couraging his wife to have her pretty cousin on a visit. •It will be more fun for you to take Amy about than to go alone,' he said, •and relief to me; for I may often have to stay late at chambers for the next few months. I hate to feel that you are waiting when I can't get back to dinner or in time to take you out anywhere.' 1 But I would always rather stay at home when you can't go out/ his wife answered. ' I only care for parties for the pleasure of going with you.' IYe 3, dear; but it looks better for one of us to be seen about—shows we are in the swim, and gives an air of prosperity to the house. Besides, I like to think that you are enjoying yourself, and not moping at home while I am wiring away over some difficult business.'

'Could you not bring your work home sometimes, Teddy?' It was quite a bright idea, she thought; but he gave his head a good professional shake.

• Oh, no, my dear, that would never do. Be as bad as a wonWs home made gown, which Hharlie's wife said she could tell at a glance, do you re member. 1 No, Millie, go and enjoy yourself, and don't trouble your head about me, there's a good girl.' After that Mrs Archerson always went about alone, or with her pretty cousin Amy, and Teddy's evenings were free. It was astonishing how well and quickly Teddy got on. Perhaps his wife's money helped, but his quick eyes and charming manner probably did a great deal more. No one knew how it was, but in less than no time, as things go in his profession, all manner of good work fell to him. He was a busy man, prosperous and rising. Yet, in spite of his increasing means, he steadily refused to add to his ex penditure, or to launch out in any way. And still he let his wife go out as much as she pleased (though she pnly pleased because he wished it), while ho spent his evenings at his chambers

or his club." Sometimes he stayed so late at the club that he did not return till next morning. Then Guy Forbes, Teddy' 3 particular friend, set up a bachelor establishment at Richmond, and Teddy took to going to him once a week, always dining and sleeping, so that his wife did not sec him at all till the next evening. It-did him good, he said, the air of Richmond was quite different from that of Keusington, which had never really agreed with him ; he was afraid he might get head aches if he did not have an occasional change. She bore it very well, but a time came in which the little woman's lip would sometimes quiver and her eyes fill with tears—nay, she would now and then shut herself up, and when she reappeared it looked very much as if she had been having a good cry. 'Don't you wish Edward would come out with us a little oftener, Mildred 1' Amy asked one day. ' I know I shouldn't like it if I had a husband, and he left me to my own devices every evening.' •He has so much to do—it is very difficult to leave his work; and when he can he finds whist a greater rest than parties, especially when he can get change of air too. It is very good of him to let us go about together aa we do, dear Amy. Some husbands expect their wives to stay at home.' • That is all very well; but I should like a man who enjoyed taking me about himself.'

'He doesn't care for parties. He said the other day that he had quite outgrown them.' ' Was he very much in love when you were married V Amy asked presently. Mrs Archerson reflected for a moment, and did not appear to like the ques tion, for she auswered a little distantly: 1 Oh, I don't know. I suppose so, or he would not have married me. Let us talk of something else, dear—people don't always show what they feel or how much they feel. At any rate, they can't be always showing it, you know. It would be very tiresome and undignified.' That evening, after dinner, Amy wanted to write a letter for the late post—rather a long one, she said —and went upstairs to begin it. The Ar chersons stayed in the dining-room, lingering over the dessert; and some thing made Mrs Archerson ask her husband :

' Did you love me very much when when you married me, Teddy V He got up rather quickly, and went to the fireplace to light a cigarette. ' Yes, I suppose so, dear. What on earth makes you suddenly ask V She got up and stood beside him on the hearthrug. 'I was thinking—Amy told me to day that Kate gets a letter from Her bert every morning. You used only to write to ire once a week.'

' Not a letter - writing man,' he laughed with an air of relief. She looked up at him with along,' tender look, sand an expression in her grey eyes that for the moment made her whole face different. Then she spoke in a low voice that almost trembled :--

'I know you—liked me, of course, 5 he interrupted, looking at the end of his cigarette; 'don't get nervous about it. Don't you remember how we used to hang about in the woods at Chilworth V

' Yes, I do,' she answered; and hia words carried conviction enough to her simple heart. 'But do you care for me still—for me at all V she went on nervously, determined to bave the matter out and her fears set at test; •or are you tired -' He turned round, put down his cigarette, and looked back at her, into her eyes, • What do you mean V he asked, in an anxious, eager voice, as though he knew of some reason for her question ing. But her manner changed sud denly, she was so unused to excite ment ; Bhe had always despised it. And now she felt foolish, almost guilty of something—she did not know of what.

' You don't seem to care much,' she said softly. ' You never seem to like being with me. You never take me out '

• Too busy, my dear child. Lots of men make tneir wives do the going-out alone, while they grind at their work.' •Ah, but you never seem to care what I do or say, or anything about me. You are very kind in many ways, I know; but you never seem to—to —I sometimes won der if I were very, very ill, whether you ' But she broke down help lessly in what she wanted to aay ; she was not good at making out a case. 1 You silly little woman,' he laughed, and put his arms round her waist and kissed her in a kindly affectionate manner that had nothing of the lover iv it—' what is the matter ? I expect very few people spoon after five or six years of marriage,' he added. llt is not that,' she answered hur riedly, half-ashamed; c but if I could only know that you ever loved me, that you really love me still.' She said it almost as an entreaty, longing for his answer. He looked at her again— at her eyes, that had a strange fear and tenderness in them to-night; he remembered swiftly how often they were dull and expressionless, and wondered at it—at her pale face and thin commonplace figure. An almost sad look came over him for a moment, while he answered:

' I should be a brute if I did not love you, Mildred. You are a good little soul—a thousand times too good for me.' And then Teddy smoked his cigarette intently, as if to steady him self after what he felt had been almost a scene, • I'll tell you what/ he said, when he had enjoyed a few minutes' thoughtful smoking, \ I'll get stalls and take you both to the play to-morrow, you and Amy, It is a long time1 since we went anywhere; a little BprsQ will

cheer us up and do us good, cli V He went back to the table and helped him self to the claret, and she followed him mechanically. She had a way of ' pat tering ' after him, as he called it, that worried him sometimes ; it was like a cat, a gentle, affectionate cat, but still it worried him. They both sat down to the table again ; she considering the question about the play. ' I thought you were going to Rich mond to-morrow V she said.

• Never mind ; I'll throw Guy over for once. Some claret, darling T It was quite au age since he had called her darling; it made her heart feel like a feather as she heard it. What a goose she had been ! He was just as fond of her as other men were of their wives, only he was not demonstrative. Dear Teddy, he was so much taken up with his work that he had little time to think of other things; and when he had, it was so natural that he should try to get as thorough a change as possible. She pushed her glass towards him.

'Yes, some claret'*-and then a servant entered.

'If you please, sir,' the maid said, 'a man has come with this card-case ; ho Bays he found it in Sisterton Road, Clapham, last night.' Teddy knocked the claret jug against his wife's glass, and stained the table-cloth.

«Yes—well—how does he know it's mine V

' He says he found the address on the cards inside; and he wants to know if there's any reward V • But you were not at Clapham last night, Edward, were you V Mrs Archerson asked. She generally called him Edward before the servants; Bhe thought it sounded better. • Here's half-a-crown—far more than it's worth-—an old cardcase and half a-dozen pasteboards, Confound him ! No, dear/ he said when the servant had left the room. • I suppose it was picked Up at the club or somewhere, and dropped again there.' ' Yes, that must have been it. But how odd that it should have boen lost twice in one day,' she answered innocently. ' Perhaps the beggar who found it first was disgusted at its not being something better, and threw itaway.' 'Yes, perhaps that was it,' she laughed. *' Do you know, Teddy dear, your hand quite trembled when Janet brought it in ? That was how you spilt the wine! 'Too many cigarettes, they make one nervous. lam glad we are going to the play to-morrow. We might have a little dinner somewhere first, be a treat for Amy. \vjat do you say V • Yes,' she answereffgtatefully. Then he looked at hor again. She was a good little soul, he thought; but it was impossible to help being a little bored by her, she was so curiously lacking in charm. ' Then that's agreed. Now I must go out, unfortunately.' He looked at his watch, and there was a tone of relief in his voice. 'Don't sit up for me, dear. Good-night.' As if he re proached himself for his critical thoughts of a minute before, or as if some half-tender remembrance overtook him, he stopped for a moment by the doorway and looked back at her. ' Don't be foolish again,' he said. ' I would do anything to make you happy, Millie dear.'

CHAPTER II

Nearly a year had passed. It was the end of October, and the Archer sons had come back to town. Teddy Archerson was more devoted than ever to his work, his whist, and his bachelor friend at Richmond. He had been thoroughly restless in the North -. even the shooting when it began did not engross him as it had formerly. The fact was, he told bis wife, in Bpite of its being vacation-time, there were many things that needed his presence in town —things concerning the great case of Willoughby v. Conyers, on which he was among the junior coun sel retained, and so on. Once or twice he grew so anxious about his work that he ran up to town for a few days, and left Mildred down in Fitehiro. It was a very wet fieason, and she could stay indoors and do needlework j but he grew impatient in a oountry house in bad weather, and a little spell of work would do him good, ho said.

After they were back at Kensington again he seemed to care less and leas for society: his friends almost lost lost sight of him, except in a profes sional sense. Even when those with whom he had formerly been most in timate asked him and his wife to cosy little winter-season dinnershe generally made excuses, though he was always glad when Mildred found courage to go alone. He was very good to her. He was getting on so well, was so suc cessful in all he undertook, that he made their single horse a pair, and gave her a brougham as a sup plement to the victoria she had always had ; it was much nicer than jobbing, he said, especially as she went about a good deal alone. On her birthday, too, he gave her quite a beautiful diamond bracelet; and his manner, was always gentle, it was Mimniimm oddly deferential. But he never seemed happy, nay, even con tent, to be much in her society. Any thing, he could do for her comfort, any thing she wanted, or he fancied she wanted, he was ready enough to give her, though he always refused to take a larger house or to live on a more ex pensive scale; but being with her made him impatient or restless or absent—in short, he Always seemed as if he wished he were somewhere else. At last, in spite of his presents and gentleness, try as she would, it was no good, she could not satisfy herself with her own excuses and arguments any longer, she grevy restless arjd unhappy. Other women's husband? could take them out or stay at home contented and happy; and why not hora ? bhe wa3 not very pretty

or clever or fascinating, but Edward had known what she was when he married her. Besides, lots of women not one whit better than she had de voted husbands. She felt that he was anxious; over-anxious, to be kind; she could not remember that he had ever said a single cross word to her ; but virtually she lived alone,
