Ferries Thronged on Empire Day The West Vancouver Ferries &vere busy on Empire Day. Two ferries, iVumbers 6 and 6 gave a half hourly service throughout Empire Day. being augmented during the rush hours by the Sonrisa. The three boats were well pat- ronized, showing that IVest Van- couver continues to hold its great popularity with Vancouver resi- dents as well as those from other outlying points. No. 6 West Vancouver Ferry was put in commission on Em- pire Day, May 24th, for the first time since her new engines were installeR. The boat showed con- siderable increase in speed and worked most satisfactorily, the lack of vibration being particu- larly noticed. The boat has made 6 record in makb&g the trip from IVest Van- couver to Vancouver in 21 min- utes. Street Lights Wanted A resident recentlv had a nar- row escape from serious injury when walkina quietly home- wacvls along hiarine Drive. Am- blenide. between 14th and 16th Streets. It ives a particulnrly dark night and the separate elec- tric lights at these points are loo distant to render lvalking on the sidewalks clear and safe as anyone can easily slip over the sidewalks a couple of feet into gutters an&I pools of water. It is suggested that a light in the centre nf the drive be- tween 14th and 16th nt its busi- est part is bai)&y needed and wou)d prove a great convenience to residents as &veil as visitors. )Vhile this particular part of Marine Drive has been drawn to our attention it is also true that nearly all the drive is in- sufliciently lighted. Surely the comparatively small cost of add- ing to the efllcient lighting of the drive is of less consequence than loss of life or serious injury to the pedestrian. West Van Divided A reader of the WEST VAN. NE)VS thinks that so long as the diiferent districts -- Ambleside, Hollyburn, etc.. are so named, tradesmen aml others should designate their stores by the proper name of the district in which they are located. We are not sure that the dis- tinction referred to is of much importance, although worthy of note. Ambleside and Hollyburn are, after all, so close together, intermingled as it were, that like twins. they can hardly be told apart. Perhaps when by and by, the houses of the different streets of each district are all numbered the inclusive name of West Van- couver" will sufflce for, at least, the postal address. THE CHILDREN'S STORY "Let's play pirates," said Jamie. "Yes, let'," answered I. Jamie was six, I, Alice, was four. Mama had one big boy whose years numbered two and a half, and one wee baby boy who had not very long come to live with us, so that after Jamie and I were washed and dressed in the morning we had to make our own games and look after ourselves for the best part of the day. Papa, of course, could not stay home and play with us all the time, because the queen wanted him to go on board the big ship sometimes. On those days we used to run helter-skelter through the narrow passage of our house to hug and kiss him, and wave good-bye to him as long as he was in sight. So, on this sunny hIay morn- ing Jamie and I had to amuse ourselves. We dragged mama' best washing tub, which had a nice large wooden handle at each end. into the middle of the little back garden and spread her old Paisley shawl in it to make it cushiony and comfortable. Then Jamie made a mast of the yard broom, «4th his handker- chief tied to it for a sail, and we pushed the handle of the car- pet broom through one hand)e of the tub, and the sweeping brush through the other for oars and avray we went in search of pirates. Every now and then Jamie would stand up and--shading his eyes from the sun as he had seen the sailors do--gaze all round the garden, which, of course, we were imagining wss the sea, in hope of catching sight of the enemy. On the right side our garden &vas enclosed by a long high building with a row of windows, a carpenter's workshop, I think, snd at the foot of the garden nearest the building was a tall ol dpear tree just coming into full leaf. )Ve were absorbed in watching for the dreadful pirates, and working away at our oars a- g:inst the waves. which Jamie said were "mountains high," when we heard a rustle in the pear tree. What could it be? We looked and looked, with our hearts all trembling with fear; the rustl- ing went on, and soon we caught sight of a brown thing, with bright eyes, looking out from among the leaves. "A tiger!" we shrieked, drop- ped, our oars and fled pell-mell in- to the house. ihiama was in the kitchen making a pudding, and taking care of baby. "hfama! Mama!" we shouted, "there's a tiger in the pear tree!" and rushed to hide in our shelter in the back room, an old-fashion- ed walnut dining table with two flap leaves which when closed reached nearly to the floor. Except at meal-times the table was clo:cd snd placed under the window, and we could always make a splendid robbers'ave of it by pulling the red cloth over one end snd covering the other with the blanket from baby's cradle. Into this shelter we rushed. and Jamie ordered me to pull the cloth over and make it all snug. This I did, with much trembl- ing. IVould the tiger come in and eat us all up? Then we heard a knock at the street door, and mama's step through the pass- age, as she went to open it. Then we heard voices, and steps passed the door which we hnd hastily shut. 1Vas it the policeman going into the garden with mama to catch the tiger? Would they catch it? Would the tiger kill mama? As that dread ful thought struck me I began to cry, but Jamie said, "Don't be a baby," snd crept out to reconnoitre, while I waited for a long, long time under the table, afraid to venture out from the stronghold, lest the dreadful tiger should suddenly pounce on me through the wide open window and eat me ag up. At last we heard somebo:ly coming through the passage a- gain, and mama called us to come sml see the pretty little squirrel which had been caught in our pear tree, by its owner, a boy of about fifteen years Thew squirrel had bitten the boy' finger (which was bleeding) in its el?orts to escape capture, but it was lying very contentedly in his arms now, and looked at us with its bright eyes, and let us stroke its fur. Mama let us give it a lump of sugar, and it soon made friends with us; and I remember peeping from behind mama'6 skirts--as the boy went out into the street--feeling half sorry and half glad that the "tiger" hsd turned out to be only a squirrel after afl.
