Special to the Scranton Tribune.
l'nionlale, Nov. S.--For the past tifty
years there has lived in the township of
Ararat. Susquehanna county, Pa.
couple of eccentric ladies'. called by
their nelghbors. 'rhe old maids Their
life must have been a lonely one as they
never made calls or received visitors,
but occasionally there was Il man and
sometimes two men to be seen around
the place. but to all appearances they
never tarred long.
The house they lived in was an old,
rambling, wood-colorcd affair, minus
many clapboards and shingles and the
windows were boarded up with the
exception of one in the room in which
they lived and ono other in another
room through which Il small flock Of
hens and turkeys walked TO their roost
by the way of II slanting board from
the ground to the sill
How these two women now in the
sunset of life. lived. no one knew. They
rarely asked aid Of any sort and were
frequently seen choppng and carrying
wood for their winter fire and their
dresses at such times We're such as
would attract attention. as they

Any who had the. temerity to call,
were insraciously received. and those
who had caught a glimpse of the in
terror said the rooms were piled full of
boxes of various sorts each one locked.
Two weeks ago these old ladies APP
piled for assistance from the town.
The poor masters before granting it
decided to call and see what their cir
cul2Stances We're.
They found the rooms piled full of
boxes and despite the protest of the
old ladies proceeded to investigate.
Their surprise may be imagined as
one after another of the boxes was
opened and found to be filled with sill
vervare. silks. satins, shawls. whose
value in their day was from s15 to 80.
Bolts of calico sheetinG. boots. shoes.
crockery. sacks Of sugar and salt and
almost everything in fact one could
think Of. Under the stove was found
an old wallet containing $50. Sewed in
the lining of an old dress was a much
larger amount and in one of the
boxes was found several hundred old
pennies. halfpennies and some old
bank notes dated in the SOS and '70's.
Now the question is. how did these

valuable property ana why did they ap-
peal for assistance from the town.
They refuse to answer all IestionS
Were they storing these goods for per-
sons who made ii Il practice to rob
country stores" Were unwary ped
dlcrs, asking for shelter for the night,
relieved Of their goods and glad. per-
haps to escape with their lives. if they
could?
such questions as these are haunting
the minds of the -Ararat people. but
none can explain
However, the two old ladies are liv-
ing in freedom at the expense of the
town and the goods are to be auctiOned
off, piece by piece. to the highest bid
der. The city fathers have done moth
ing toward finding where the goods
came from and say they can do moth
ing. Some people favor taking the
law in their own hands and if possible
cNtort some sort Of confession, but
probably nothing will be done. The
nine days wonder will cease and the
old ladies will die with their secret.
