Kate said no and listened. She liked Mrs. Sydney’s stories.
“Well,” Mrs. Sydney said, “Jed Wright was my friend when l was a child. He ran away from home when he was very young and lived for years by doing all kinds of jobs. Finally, in l927, he went to Michigan, where he found a copper mine(铜矿). He bought the land and ran the mine and became a very rich man.”

“Dan had never seen Alf. He had only two clues(线索). One was all old photo that showed Alf and Jed. But it was taken on their tenth birthday, fifty years ago. The other clue was a postcard from Alf. It had no address. It was mailed in Boston file month before Jed died.”

When Mrs. Sydney finished her story, she smiled.
“All right, Kate,” she said. “How did he know Alf?”
Kate smiled too. ”That’s easy,” she said. “You told me how. The clue was the photo.”
“Yes, it was,” said Mrs. Sydney. “But it was taken when Alf and Jed were boys. How could that help?”
