Fifty years ago Con Lucey. then eighteen, left the hamiet of Killorgiin, Kerry, to try his luck in America. A few years later hs brother, James Lucey, followed, but they mever so much as heard of each other until last May, when the’ shoemaker's friendship with Cal Coolidge brought him word of his brother. In some manner which the old shoe- maker doesn't try to explain word reached a hospital in California that the Vice President of the United States was looking for a man named Con Lucey, and had been in the course of his travels about the United States. Con was there, and in May James Lucey flot a letter telling him his Fitting Out the Youngsters With Footwear for School? \IMost parents are! fINew footwecar is most necessary to start ‘them off right.

I didn’t know what to do. Then I remembered Cal was home for a few days. While I was settin’ there on my bench holdin’ the letter. Joe Daly, the state detective, came in.
