years, however, MT. Rockefeller paid the highest personal property tax in New York City. It ran to more than s1,0OO,000 year.
 A statement given out at the Rockefeller offices in 1928, on his 89th birthday, revealed that in the IS years since 1910 he had given away publicly $443, ,832,644 His larg- est gift had been $l82, ,704,624 to the Rockefeller Foundation, chartered Ito promote the welfare of man. kind in all parts of the world"
 Other great gifts included, in round numbers. $129,000, ,000 to the General Education Board; $74,000, : 900 to the Laura Spelman Rocke- feller Memorial, founded to per petuate the charity practiced by his wife; $4O,OOO,O00 to the Rocke- feller Institute for Medical Re- search and $35, 5,0O0,0 ,000 to the Uni versity of Chicago.
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr., fol- lowed his fathers example and in the 191O-1s28 interval, made gifts totalling more than $60,000,000. Be- fore that period, the Rockefeller gifts had been numerous and gen. erous and they continued after wards. One of the largest later Rockefeller contributions was $l,- 0OO O00 to the New York City En- ergency Unemployment Committee in December, 1930.
 . Early COnIrlDutlOns
 MT. Rockefeller's earning and giving always over-lapped. He started his contributions as a boy -5 cents week to foreign mis- sions, cents a week to the poor And many years later-whether al Pocantico Hills, Lakewood, N. J. | or Ormond Beach, Fla.--he spent certain amount of time each day keeping up with business af- | fairs.
 Although it was frequently said that he was much more actively concerned with business than most people thought, MT.

his other homes did not differ so very much from that which he had always lived-eXcept that, instead of spending three or four after moons a week outdoors, he spent every afternoon outdoors, motoring as he grew older. Even after he went into his 90's, he continued to play golf every sunny morning, ex- cept Sundays.
 At the height ol his business career, MT. Rockefeller directed the affairs of s oil companies and influenced indirectly the policies of hundreds of corporations, including many forms of modern industry. Their combined capitalization ran into the billions, and they employ ed hundreds of thousands of men and women.
 For several years his companies controlled four -fifths of the oil business in the United States. He was the business partner of many American millionaires. He owned blocks of stock in most of the trunk line railroads in the United States. He controlled mines and mills, notably the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
 Rode the Bike
 But even in those active days he found time to sleep an hour after lunch every day, prolong his meals with games of 'numerica, " and spend several afternoons a week outdoors. While he was a young man in Cleveland, organiz- ing the Standard Oil Company, he used to take time off to work on the grounds of his estate, go for drives and bicycle rides.
 Toward the end of his life, MT. Rockefeller apparently wanted to get rid Of every sort of responsible

out shiny new dimes and playing golf.
 MT. Rockefeller began his re- tirement in 1896, but retained the title of President of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey until November, 1911. That was just after the Standard Oil combina- tion had been dissolved by Federal Court decree.
 From Retirement
 In 1929. nearly 20 years later, he publicly emerged from his retire ment on two occasion. Early that year he announced that he would support his son, John D. Rocke- feller, Jr., in an effort to prevent the reelection of Col. Robert w Stewart as director and chairman of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana He was then 89 years old.
 In October, 1929, when there was a crash in Wall Street, he issued from Pocantico Hills a reassuring statement in which he said that he and his son did not believe there was anything in the business situation to warrant the destruc- ton of values recorded in the pre- ceding week, and announced that they were both buying common stocks. The market rallied.
 At the time of his retirement, accounts of the simplicity in which he lived and the frugality of his diet led to popular belief that he was in poor health, chronic sufferer from indigestion. MT. Rockefeller many years later said that this was not true, that he had always enjoyed rugged health, possibly because of that very regi- men.

Allan Kerr-not by any means"
 T may be wrong, Miss Pierce. But don't think so. It all fits to- gether too perfectly. Kerrigan knew Amy Kerr, or he wouldn't have ask cd her to meet him alone on the roof. You can understand that. If 1t were just a case of his meeting her for the first time and being at- tracted to her, there were @ dozen ways he could have arranged to meet her again. IL wasn't that. They knew each other. They were pretty close to each other,
 "Amy's parents, by the way, died some years ago. Aunt Harriet raised her. When the old lady died, Amy went west to live with her uncle and this young cousin. l guess Kerr TOT Kerrigan--Was mighty glad to see her. She was his only link with Blueflelds, and he wanted to hear what had happened since his de- parture. It was natural gesture for him to suggest 0 meeting up on the roof where they could talk private ly. What happened later may have been the madness of @ moment. The young man, according to reports, has 0 pretty violent temper He flew into rages at his fathers trial-had to be removed bodily from the courtroom on more than one occa- sion.
 I'm convinced Kerrigan Is young Kerr. Even the similarity In names Is striking. He registered at his ho- tel as James A. Kerrlgan. That's an easy change from James A. Kerr. isn't it?"
 "A mere coincidence, Cilly said doggedly, Tt doesn't prove that they are the same"
 Dolan reached for the telephone Give me Higgins he ordered Then; Say, Higgins, have you got those photographs yet-those Kerr pictures they were rushing from Utah2 o. K. Send me down proof, will you2"

CHAPTER XVI

Nevertheless said Sergeant Dolan finally, Lets get back to this friend of yours - Kerrigan. How much haven't you told me about him, Miss Piercep"
 Cilly strengthened. i've told you all there is to tell" she said with dignity. MT. Kerrigan and I are very good friends. l am sure you will find his character and his habits entirely above reproach. You're wasting valuable time try ing to cast suspicion on him.
 "Did MT. Kerrigan ever tell you" Sergeant Dolan asked, with maddening deliberation, that out in Bluehelds, Utah, his father Is serving 10 years in prison Tor theft?"
 Cilly grasped the arms of her chair, she leaned forward, her eyes dilated with horror.
 "What did you say, sergeantP"
 "You heard me, Miss Pierce. l said that Kerrigan's father--and incidentally his name isn't Kerri- gan-is serving @ l0-year senctence out in Bluefields, Utah, for the theft of $5oooo worth of bank securities"
 T don't believe it!"
 Sergeant Dolan's eyes Softened. He felt a little sorry for the girl. It was obvious that her surprise was genuine. Pretty tough for her, to have her best friend killed by. her sweetheart.
 I'm sorry, Miss Pierce" he said. "1t's the truth. We've checked pretty thoroughly today with Bluefields."
 You've made a terrible mistake somewhere, Sergeant Dolan," Cilly persisted, her voice trembling. "You've been misled by that time table in Amys bag. Jim doesn't come from Utah - he's from Chi- cago."
 That's what he told you"
 Cilly realized that Jim had never actually told her where he came from; she had merely as- stunned that Chicago was his na- tive city.
 "It didn't matter where he came from ." she murmured ab- sently.
 "Of course not So 1t was all right for him to lead you to be- lieve that he came from Chicago. He probably considered the fact that his father was in jail reason enough to deceive you. You might not have liked him so well If he told you the truth"
 T would have understood but it's all 50 wrong. You've been checking on the wrong man. I'm sure you have, sergeant"
 Che tried to make her words forceful, but she Slumped back in her chair, look of defeat in her eyes. It couldn't be true, 1t simply couldn't Yet there was 50 much she didn't understand. Jim's nasty trip to Utah, for example. And his oft-repeated cry: "Oh, Cilly, If 1 could only marry you nowl You'll walt for me, won't you7 You'll be- lieve in me, no matter what2"
 You'll believe in me, no matter what
 Cilly sat up tall In her chair. she squared her shoulders. She did believe in Jim, no matter whati If this were true about his father, 1t was no fault of Jims. She believed in himl She held her chin a little higher as she looked into Sergeant DolanS eyes.
 "What If this is true?" she de- manded. What If Jim Kerrigan's father is in jail2 He did not want to tell me because would be
