CHAPTER XII

Tuesday: Morning, girls" Cal said when he came into the kitchen this morning, and knew by the de- liberate way he started to shove tob- acco into his mouth,s that he had news for us.
 "Guess everyone will be happy now around the lake the Township Committee announces that Serene Shores will be closed Seth Bradshaw found out that there was some crooked work over that deal, and he's got his property back; but he's giving it to the Township for the benefit of all his old neighbors and friends" Y"
 "Too bad won't live here after I'm married" said Tess. T sure would enjoy sitting on the porch looking at the lake. Any other news, Cal?"
 "Yep, Miss Pegler's closing her house today"
 How fast news travels, was what I thought as I waited for his next pronouncement. It was about Dick and the mess he'd got into. Told me was lucky to find out what sort of fellow he was before l tied up with him I didn't need oanswer for Cal had still more news for us.
 Clearing his throat, he said, Had lots of excitement last night"
 "Yes, you went to the movies, didn't you, Cal?" Tess said.
 T did, but it was when I was going home that I was almost scared out of years growth"
 Gosh, Cal, what happened?' Tess demanded.
 'Well, I was coming past Serene Shores saw a couple of cars in front of the clubhouse 1t was late for I stopped in to see some folk after the show and we got talk ing saw the clubhouse door open and that young fellow - his picture was in one of the maga- zines"
 ''You mean that famous de- signer, Roger Brough," Tess said
 "Yes, that's the fellow I mean Well, he came out with another man - heavy-set short fellow, and that pretty girl folks say he's going to marry. He opened the door of swell limousine, and help ed the girl in she didn't want to go though and hung around his neck, but the heavyset fellow said, Gut that out" then, turning to Roger, whispered something to him.
 "After they got in the car, the girl looks out and says, Join us in Boston. Roger I've got the tick cts. But the man speaks real angry like, You can't do that you've got to stall them off we got a poor enough start as 1t is'."
 Gee, Cal. that sounds like a movie thriller what was 1t all about, do you think?"
 Couldn't say, I'm sure may be therell be something in the papers about it."
 wondered, but had to hustle and arrange the flowers, then I decided if I was ever going to do anything about digger the sooner the better started out towards the haunt ed house passing the cabin I noticed that Tad and Peter were in their lookout tower Peter seemed terribly excited.
 Look out" I called "or you'll fall"
 "Oh. Joy, want to see some thing?" he cried, cranning his neck in the direction of the haunted house.
 Haven't time" I answered, as I hurried along.
 A moment later Peter was at my side Are you going to the haunted house let me come with you please!"
 No, no, Peter you know you promised" Suddenly echoes of rife fire shattered the stiffness of the

 A the nwlands along the river that now is the Dyle in Belgium, in 775, slew the missionary who tried to convert them to Christian ity. In memory Of this martyr, St. Rombaud, a Benedictine abbey was built near his tomb. Soon a great cathedral arose, and in l452 construction was begun on what was to be the tallest spire in the world.

Frank Cacciano, 20, of Frost Bridge, Waterville, and Peter Fava, 37, of 1926 North Main street, whose enmity started months ago when Cacciano allegedly was guilty of mis- conduct with Fava's wife, were ar- raigned in city court today on charges of breach of the peace. They were given suspended sentences of three months each. .
 Patrolmen Alex F'oSsbender and John Donahue arrested the pair Saturday afternoon near the Apothecaries Hall. Neither of the officers saw the fight start, but Ofn- cer Fossbender said his attention was attracted when two women screamed and "Cacciano came flying out from tn sidewalk and landed on his ear in the road"
 Judge McGrath warned the two to avoid meetings. Attorney Timo- thy Sullivan argued that Fava had taken circuitous routes about the city in order to avoid Cacciano, but that they just happened to meet by chance Saturday.
 Cacciano and Mrs. Fava were ar. raigned in superior court on the misconduct charge.

 Still Plays Violin
 It is because of this unusually close father -and-son relationship that the careers of the two gen. erations were fused so perfectly it is very hard to tell exactly when the plans of the son became dominant. The two were always one, to 8 greater or less degree.
 The Rockefellers moved to New York when business required John D.'s more constant presence there. Some say they moved un- der pressure of huge tax suit against the family in Cleveland.
 In New York the same simplic- ity of life was apparent. John D., Jr., got cents an hour for prac- ticing his violin. He still plays is occasionally, competently if not brilliantly.

There was no theater-going in the lives of the Rockefeller chil- dren. The family never tried to cut any swath "in society,"" and does not today.

The man who today handles the Rockefeller millions earned his first money before he was 10 years old mending fences at IS cents an hour.
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr, was of- fered proposal one day as he wandered about the rambling Forest Hill estate in Cleveland, where the Rockefeller then lived. "A penny for every fence post you find that needs replacing" offered the father.
 The boy found 13 of them. Then his father proposed If you want to earn more, you can go to work replacing them. I'll pay you the going rate of common labor-l5 cents an hour"
 So from boyhood, John D. Rocke- feller, Jr., was taught the value of money and what 1t means to earn it, insofar as 1t can be taught to one whose destiny is to rule millions. He was reared like those occasional European crown princes, who are brought up in an austerity and sicmplicity which mere commoner of means would not dare attempt.
 Not Even an Iron Deer
 It was a leisurly life in Cleve- land in those days of the sos and '9Os, The Rockefeller town house was only one of the Gothic brick or stone mansions, set far back from the street amid spacious lawns and gardens, that lined then famous Euclid avenue. The elder Rockefeller walked to work in the morning along the avenue and back at night. The Rockefel- lers did not even have an iron deer in the front yard.
 Summers at the Country house" at Forest Hill were idyllic and simple, and 1t was largely there that Rockefeller formed the im- pressions of his father that are so inconceivable to anyone who knew him only in the undertaking magazines of 30 years ago, or in the photos of the tottering old man who spent recent precariouS winters in Florida.
 For the elder Rockefeller, what ever sort of terror he may have been to business competitors, was kind and loving father to his children. He liked to swim with them in the pond at Forest Hill and to skate with htem in winter Jolln D., Jr, recalls how his father always went out on the ice first enjoyed leading a parade o1 to test it, and how thoroughly he splashing youngsters around the pond as he taught them to swim He remembers that his father
