New Wall Map Showing Whole Municipality Last IVeek we announced the publication of an Atlas of West Vancouver issued by L. Clement and R. Ford. These two local men have put out one of the most detailed snd best gotten up maps of the district it is possible to produce.

Today we announce the publi- cation of another map of West Vancouver. This one being a "IVaH" map. It covers the en- tire municipality on one sheet, and gives aH the new leade, parks, sub-divisions. etc., abso- lutely up-to-date.

Orders may be left with THE WEST VAN. iV KlVS. It in a matter nf satisfaction that the progress West Vancou- ver is making has called fnr these two sp! Indid maps. Presentation to Rev.

To one who was lonely that day i But her outlook on life became brighter, As she hastily went on her way. It ivas only a small deed of kind- ness, To one who had burdens to bear; But somehow his burdens grew lighter. W'hen he knew that a friend really cared. It was only a look of compassion, IVhen someone was going a- 3't I'ay; But it lead her to think of her sin-la&len life And long to live better that day. It was only a kind ivord of com- fort, When a loved one was laid to rest; But it filled saddened hearts with hope and peace, To know that the Lord's will was best. THE CHILDREN'S CORNER In the early days of Queen Victoria's reign, Mrs. Peyton, delicate, graceful, «4th long ear- rings dangling over her sloping shoulders and reaching almost to the flowing lines of her crinoline, sat an honoured guest in the drawing-room of ih(r. Henry Mannering, the coach. On leave from India, where she had left her soldier-husband she was visiting her boys at their various schools. It was her youngest child George whom sl e had come to see at that moment, a backward boy whom the par- ents had placed away froln his brothers in a tutors house, where he might have special teaching and attention. Colonel Peyton took his son' lack of mental power very much to heart. His pretty butterfly mother, who had never felt the want of books or brains herself was not so particular about her youngest-born's progresa What she wanted was for him to be happy in her absence. If he did not give a good account of his present home she would re- move him, no matter what John said. Still, the boy said he was contented, and he did not wish to make a change in the long years of parting which were to follow. Colonel Peyton had chosen the tutor with great care. The fees were high; they were giving their child every possible advantage. Everything seemed as it ought to be. The house was beautiful. George's own rooms the picture nf comfort. h(r. Mannering anil his sister as kind as they could be One thing only troubled the foolish mother, the state of her boy's hands -- aH broken nails and ingrained and grime and scars, both new and old. "Not a gentleman's hand» at au she said plaintively. "Wl.at can he have been doing with them, iMr. Mannering?" "Carpentry," the tutor replieil: "and he is careless about wash- ing." "I will rub them with cold i ream," said ih(iss hlannering. There was something else hfrs. Peyton «dshed to say, and in a timid flutter she proposed it. "Might George spend the ho(- :days with my old cousin in Cornwau? He would meet hid brothers there and it would bc a break to school life. It would he almost like going home." "But George thinks of our house as home." BIiss Manner- ing said, in o'.Eence; and her brother answered rather stoni- ly "Have you hib father's danc- non for such a pi&ange? Pleas- ant for George, I grant it would be; but Colonel Peyton was most particular that he should not miss a day's teaching and slide back again." "I do not wane in live any- where else than here," repeats j George. His mother looked at him in distress. His tones sounded dul- ler than ever, and he had neither been so pleased to see her as she had hoped nor sorry for her to go away. Arrangements were made for him to stay on, money changed hands, fsreweHs were said. At last Mrs. Peyton drove a- way in a cab to the station. She had only a week left to stay in England, and was not going to vis't George again. She leant back on the cushions of the cab and tears rolled down her cheeks. She was very tired. She had had to nerve herself up so for this interview. It is painful to part with one's children. As they jogged on and on into the night she slept, and dream- ed a pitiful dream about little, rough hands clutching at her skirts--or was it her heart- strings?--and drawing her back. She ivoke with a start to a feeling of black depression and doubt. "There was something wrong about those people; I can't tell what," she said to herself. "I am going back to find out what the wrong thing is and to win back my boy's confidence." She told the coachman to drive her back to the Green Man. She bade him wait there for her re- turn, and went to The Grange on foot. She rang the bell, but no one answered. Evidently the ih(annerings were dining out, for there was the sound of revelry in the ser- vants'all. She rang again, and heard the butler say: "I am not going to leave my supper to answer the door. Let Soft Sammy go; he's had holi- day enough. Leave your arrears of boot-blacking and wood-chop- ping and answer the bell, and look sharp about it, my boy!" A child's feet shuffled in a tired way across the hall, and the door wss opened. Dirty, dejected, wearing the livery of a page-boy in buttons, )Irs. Peyton's iH-used son looked at his mother. She in turn stared at him, all her soft beauty stiffening into a stony mask of anger; but the cowed child knew his champion. His indifference broke, and he clung to her. She took his hand in hers and advanced into the house, EH tim- idity gone, as fierce and as form- idable in her indignation as her husband commanding his regi- ment. "Send to the inn for my car- riage. Pack my son's trunk at once. He leaves with me to- night."
