Rockefeller has been discovered at last. He is stowed away on his 500- acre country place here, or else he has a double who is taking all kinds of lib erties there. A reporter went on a scouting expedition yesterday, and from the crotch of a tall pine tree on a ridge overlooking tne Rockefeller stronghold he reconnoitered. At first the only living obiect in sight was a fat nannie goat. She was browsing in the front yard of the Rockefeller mansion. Presently another animated obiect hove in sight from over a ridge to the southward of the house and on the Rockefeller private golf links. It was a tall man with a con cave front. He wore knickerbockers and a iauntv golfing cap and carried a stout hickory walking stick. From the tree crotch the reporter carefully observed the man as he bore down on the house. Convinced that it was the missing Rockefeller, he slid down the tree, crept thru the tall grass and got past the picket line. Once clear of this, the reporter started across the links on the run toward Rockefeller. A moment later the picket discovered the scout and, with a yell of warning to the hunted man, he started in hot pursuit. Rockefeller, unconscious that he was in danger of discovery until he heard the warning shout, had been idly swat ting an apple he discovered on the links with his walking stick: but the moment he heard the picket's yell he grabbed up the apple, stuffed it in the pocket of his jeans and struck the home trail at his best gait. The only reason he didn't break some Lakewood records was because he stopped to pick up a dime he lost on the links in 1902. Rockefeller got to the house a winner in the chase by the length of a city block. He ran inside and is supposed to have concealed himself in the wood bin in the cellar. "Was ist loss mit you?" demanded an Irish guard who ran out of the house and held the reporter up a hundred feet from the front door. vy iss id you are here yet? Didn't you seen dot sign which it said keep oud?" The reporter had not seen it, and finally persuaded the guard to let him ring the doorbell. The flunky said: "Mr. Rockefeller is inI don't think.'' Would Mrs. Rockefeller be seen? She would. "Mr. Rockefeller does not want to see anybody from any newspaper, me Security^ Merchandise r-" Stamps Are a cash disr count of 3 cent. 500 are worth $1.50 1,000 are worth $3.00 in merchandise.

Everybody is on the lookout for Rockefeller, expecting hour ly to see him skulking in the pines as a hermit or whizzing" along the drives disguised in his new wig and a pafr of gigantic lamps.
