At the granite threshold ol thebuilding lie had hesitated, but the power ol habit is strong, and lor livo years it had been his habit to spend from ono to three hours daily in the luxurious apartmeu's set apart for the choice spirits composing his club. He had hesitated on this occasion, not because be had ever failed in being a welcome accession to the groups of young men usually to bo fi.uu 1 engaged in the occupations of the place, but, without doubt, because of tho uuusual circumstances environing his own personality. For. the fact, is. it was the morning of 1) irby's marriage day. That evening the multiform benefactions of the (.brls, to him, acre to ho crowned by the gift of a wife of his own heart's choosing. Under these circumstances, therefore, it was perhaps natural that tho hride-groom-clcct should have hesitated to brave tbo attention his presence was Mire to call forth in the rooms of tho Maecenas.
