    wrinkles with a short stick some country men heard the noise and they stopped at once. One said to the other this is indeed a fairy cobbler working, let us capture him and if we make no mistake we will be the richest men in Ireland. So they slipped round the bush and ove of them grabbed the cobbler by the throat and wanted to know where the gold. The cobbler said "my wife is down on the road" and the other men said to the one who had him "don't mind him keep your eyes on him that is one of his dodges."
    In the meantime the wife was wondering what was delaying her husband so she ran up and told one of the men to let him go to the fair with the brogues. They did so bu the poor cobbler was along time suffering from the effects of the fright.
