AGENT ABBOTT RESIGNS.
Has Been With Lockwood Mills Since
Their Opening.

It was announced Thursday after
noon from an authentic source that
w. H. K Abbott. who for the past 19
years has served the Lockwood Co. in
this city in the capacity of superin-
tendent and agent has rendered his res
ignation, which was accepted. The
report has been current for several
days, but without foundation. -

Stephen l. Abbott and when quite
young went into the cotton mill bust
ness with his father in Lewiston. He
came to Waterville on the opening of
the Lockwood mills and in 1890 became
superintendent and later agent, which
responsible positions he held in a sue :
cessful manner.

We climbed the steps to the cool
shadows Of the terrace. As We stood
a moment looking out on the lake we
saw, far away toward the northern
shore, the Stiletto, that seemed just
to have slipped out from the lower
lake. The humor of the situation
pleased me; Helen was OF there in

As We cleared Battle Orchard and
sped on toward Glenarm there was a
sting in the wind, and Lake Annandale
had fretted itself into foam. We saw
the Stiletto running prettily before
the wind along the Glenarm shore, and
stopped the engine before crossing
her wake and let the launch jump the
waves. Helen would not, hoped, be-

advantage of Gillespie's infatuation for
Helen to make her his agent for pro-
curing them. and now it was for me to

TO CONDUCT FRESH AIR
 CAMP AT HIGHLAND PARK

Capt. Odom, commander of the local camp of the Salvation Army, stated yesterday afternoon that he had receiv- ed assurances from members of the city council that his petition praying that he be allowed to conduct his fresh air camp at Oak Park during the com ing summer would be granted.
 Formerly the camp has been con ducted at Picket Springs. but as the at fractions of Electric Park are to be moved to Pickett Springs this summer, the former site will not be available. To go into the country Capt. Odom states will entail too much expense, as there are no available locations for the camp within twenty miles of the city.
 The petition of Capt. Odom to the city council-prays that he be given the privilege of pitching his camp in the rear of the park. It Is announced that should the petition be granted the camp will sopen its tents for the poor mothers and children of the city on July 1, and will continue in opera ton through August and possibly te September 15.
