THE MYSTERY
OP ARARAT
Gonieiits ol an Old Hovel Prove
Unon Investigation to
Be Valuable.
TWO OLD MAIDS' CAREER
After Fifty Years of Silence They
Ask Aid from the Town Poor
Directois Discover That Boxes In
Their House Aie Filled with Dty
Goods, Sllverwaie, Cash, Etc. No
Explanation of the Case Cnn Be
Obtained.
Ffi!cii to Hit Soianlcn TiIIjuc
1'nlond.ile, Nov. S. For the past fifty
yearn them has lived in the township ot
""""- l"u""'""- ............. r v-
' arat, SusiittPlmmu county. Pa., a
eouple ot ecieuttlc ladles, ca led by
I heir nelghbois, "The old maids." Their
life must have been n lonely one as they
never made i.ills or leiehed visitors,
but occasionally theie was u man and
sometimes two men to be scon tiiottud
the fihue. but to all appearances they
never tun led long,
The house they lived In was an old,
iittubling, wood-ioloied affair, minus
manv elapboauls and shingles and the
windows weic bonrdPd up with the
exception of one In the loom In which
they llteil and one other hi another
loom tluough which ii small flock of
hens and tutke.t.s walked to their roost
by the way of a slanting bo.ud fiom
the giound to the sill.
How tlitse two women now in the
suni-ot ol life, lived, no one know. They
rarely asked aid of any soit and wcte
fieiiuently seen i hopping and curjlng
wood tor their wlnloi liie and their
diessos at stub limes wcie such as
would .iltiait attention, as they
seemed to be made of old meal sacks.
Any who had the- temeiily to call,
weie Ingrueloiisly ippelved, and those
who had (aught a glimpse of th" In
tel lor .'aid the looms wcie piled full ot
boxes ol vailous soils, cub one locked.
Two weeks ago those old ladles ap
plied for assistance fiom the town.
The poor musters befoie gi anting it
decided to call and see what their eh
uirastutues weie.
They found the looms piled mil of
boxes and despite the piolest of the
old ladies pioeoedod to hit estimate.
Their surprise may be imagined as
one titter another of the boxes was
opened and totmd to be tilled with sll
icrwai e. silks, satins, shawls, whoso
talue in their day was fiom sir, to 50.
Holts of calico slioetiiig. hoots, shoes,
docket y. sacks of sugar nnd salt and
almost ci 00 thing in fuct one could
think of. I'nder the stove was found
an old wallet containing- $-". Sew id in
the lining of an old dtess was a nuiili
kuger amount and In one of the
lio.M't was found scvei.il bundled old
pennies, half-pennies mid some old
