FOUND HER SISTER AT LAST.
After Searching Forty Years Mrs.
Weeks Recognizes Her Dead Body.

Mrs. Weeks, who keeps a fashionable
boarding house in Brooklyn, has been
looking for her long-lost sister, Mrs.
Gushing. for the last forty years. She
has just found her, but 1t was only to
recognized her dead body.
When Mrs. Gushing disappeared mys-
teriously she was a young and beautiful
widow. Her sister advertised for her
year after year, but not the slightest
trace of her could ever be found. 1t ap-
pears that she had been living In Brook
lyn all this time, and she died only a
few days ago at the boarding-house of
Mrs. Mary McKenna, in Sixth avenue.
Brooklyn.
Among her effects was found deed
to a burial plot In Evergreens Cemetery,
and as she apparently had no friends or
relatives she was buried there last week.
The lot happened to be the same where
Mrs. Weeks's husband was buried, and
when she visited the cemetery last Sun
day and found the newly made grave
there she naturally wanted to know how
1t had happened.
When she investigated the matter she
felt sure that the body was that of heI
sister. 1t was accordingly exhumed and
instantly recognized by Mrs. Weeks
Mrs. McKenna still has in her posses
sion the deed of the lot, which she holds
for an unpaid board bill contracted by
Mrs. Gushing, and Mrs. Weeks has hegur
suit in the Lee Avenue Civil Court tc
recover 1t,
