This was comforting. And both Isa- bels had such an odious habit of dress ing in the same colorsi Why didn't they wear different colored ribbons, like French twins?
 He got along fairly we'll, with great care and caution. One evening he saw Isabel Dennison entering the library. He knew it was his one because she had on gray dress, whereas her cousin had worn green one during the day. It was too dark to see her features He followed her into the room.
 "The incest time for chat" he said, and she made a movement as if to leave the room, fitting toward far ther door.
 'Yes, but I'm afraid I can't stay," she said. "I only came to fetch some thing left here."
 "Well-but don't go-stay a min- ute" said Dacre entreatingly. He had no doubt at all about his accuracy as to identity. Her desire to escape from him was sure proof, let alone others, for it was precisely the desire she had shown in the last few days, and which he took as favorable sign. Miss Den- nison-Isabel-am mistaken in think ing-in hoping-you know-you surely must know that love youl"
 The girl had stood still for second, while Charlie rushed on with his decla- ration, but she interrupted him hastily:

 Don't say that" said Charlie, go- ing nearer. All those weeks in town down here, when we have been thrown so much together-I surely have not mis- understood?''
 A stifled sound came from the dim figure before him. whether laugh or what he could not tell, but he suddenly to face with another Isabel in a gray dress.
 If the earth had opened and swallow ed him, Charlie would have been thankful. This was the crowning disas- ter. Neither Isabel stirred. Which, in heavens name, was which2 To whom had he proposed? How should he ever know he had got the right Isabel?
 He recognized after the first wild movement that he must save the situa- tion. He approached the newcomer, who eyed him disdainfully
 Miss Dennison-Isabel," he began
 (Which Miss Dennison do you intend to address, MT. Dacre?'' she demanded stifly.
 'How the deuce should I know? It is nearly dark, and you both evade me. "
 You had better pursue your conver- sation with the lady you seem to reoog- nize best, and will retire.
 The other Isabel sprang forward.
 Don't be goose, cousin" said she, half laughing, "and you, MT. Dacre, wait a minute. You know very we'll, Isabel, it's all a mistake, and I'd have interrupted MT. Dacre before only he was so impetuous I had no time. He didn't mean me at all''-
 ''Mr. Dacre doesn't seem to know whom he means," said the offended Is- abel
 1T know very we'll when I can see them," murmured Charlie, nearly crushed. Here goes for light.
 But when blaze of light illumined the room only one Isabel remained. Dacre took her hand.
 "You are the one, !" he said.
 'Are you quite sure?' she asked archly.
 'Ah, that's cruell Of course am. What will you say to me, Isabel-for- give me and"-
 "Love you" whispered Isabel.

SHIELDS WlTHDRAWS.
Princeton Professor Takes Formal Leave
 of tho Presbyterian Church.

of the Presbyterian Church.
 Princeton. N. J., Nov. 12.-The Rev. Dr. Charles W. Shields, professor of re- was hauled over the coals at the special meeting of the presbytery of New Brunswick, which invaded the strong hold of the professor with the avowed intention of castigating him for having signed the application for a liquor H. cense for the Princeton inn, the only thing that approaches a combination hotel and casino in this quiet town.
 All Princeton, including President Patton of the university, adhered to the cause of Professor Shields. but 1t was evident soon after the meeting began that the majority of the presbytery was strongly opposed to him.
 It was hot and protracted fight, and the technical triumph of the anti Shields faction was condemned with more or less bitterness by many Prince tonians, by practically all the students of the university and by Grover Cleve- land, who expressed himself with frank ness when told of the action of the pres bytery. Said the ex-president to a re- porter:
 So they say that persons signing the application for that liquor license were guilty of 'reprehensible complicity.' do they? Well, that includes me. I signed 1t before and would sign 1t again If nec- essary and all the presbyteries in the country would not influence me an iota. The only thing about the whole matter I regret is the sorrow 1t causes Dr. Shields, who Is a most estimable man."

WALSH'S EXPEDITION
LEAVES sKAGGUAY OVERLAND FOR
 THE UPPER YUKON COUNTRY.

Expects to Reach the KIondike In Two
 Months-To Establish Stations Fifty
 Miles Apart-Late News From the Fro
 zen North Brought Down by Steamer.
 Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1.-The steamer City of Seattle. which has just arrived here, brings the following advices from Skagguay, bearing date of Nov. 8:
 J. B. McGregor. mining inspector of Major Walsh's staff. has left with the last of the relief expedition. The major started half of his party tbree days ago and left himself the next day with a de- termination cheerily expressed that he would certainly get through to Dawson City by January.
 He takes one team of dogs only for packing on the ice when it is reached. but he left Inspector McGregor. who will be several days behind him, to come on with horses and dogs and res- cue hirn if he gets into a tight place. He believes, however, that MT. Me- Gregor will not catch up with him, but that he will be able. with the mounted police in advance of him with supplies, to push straight through.
 The outcome of the majors endeavor will be eagerly watched for as 1t is held that if he can get through on the soft snow, instead of waiting until Febru- ary, others may do so
 Inspector McGregor Is having made here sleighs with irons four inches wide. These are for the horses. of which he takes in ten. The inspector will also take 40 dogs. These were sent to Lake Bennett to be regularly exercised on the snow and hardened for the expedi- tion. Three men go with the dogs and three with the horses.
 Walsh VIII Designate stations-
 Major Walsh on hls way up will des- ignate stations 50 miles apart, and at each of these stations train of dogs will be left for the mall service. With stations well provisioned only 50 miles apart. a regular mail service may be depended upon.
 Then. if Major Walsh should be froz- en up when Inspector McGregor catches up with him, the horses will be used to pack in his personal belongings and feed for the animals.
 It Is a well planned expedition. and there seems to be no reason why 1t should not go through. McGregor's 8 party takes 60 days rations for animals and 1so days rations for the men.

 Washington. Nov. 17-Postmaster General Gary has made his first an- nual report to the president. Its most notable feature Is the strong advocacy of postal savings Repositories, scheme over which Postmaster General Gary has worked for many months In the formulation of plans to present to the president and congress. He says the time is ripe for their establishment and that the adoption of a we'll organized system would confer a great boon upon ' large number of people and ultimate ly be of inestimable benefit to the whole country. Upon this subject the post master general says:
 Many millions of dollars are un- doubtedly secreted by people who have little or no confidence in ordinary se- curities and monetary institutions or ganized by private citizens. It is dead capital, but If it's owners could be in- spired with absolute confidence in the security of an investment 1t Is alto- gether probable that the bulk of this fund would find its way into the chan nels of trade and commerce. If the government undertook this task, the service would undoubtedly be gladly accepted by the people. Their faith in the government Is unbounded. Their little savings, which separately could hardly be put out at interest, would amount in the aggregate to a sum that could be invested to their advantage.
 Tt would tend to cultivate thrift in a large class, realizing the advantage of depositing with the government in-
