you any relation to the Admiral?"

The likeness is so remarkable that one is sure it cannot be accidental.
It is accidental, and therefore more remarkable. It is the Admiral's
face down to the least detail of feature, though it is a trifle
younger. There is the same neat, jaunty air--there is even the same
cock of the hat over the same eye. There is the same sense of compact
power concealed by the same spirit of whimsical dare-devilry. There is
the same capacity, the same nattiness, the same humanness. There is
the same sense of abnormality that a man looking so young should
command an organization so enormous, and the same recognition that he
is just the man to do it.

Both these men are impressive. They are big men, but then so are all
the men who have control in the C.P.R. They are more than that, they
can inspire other men with their own big spirit. We met many heads of
departments in the C.P.R., and we felt that in all was the same
quality. Mr. Calder, as he began, "A. B." as he soon became, was the
one we came in contact with most, and he was typical of his service.

"A. B." was not merely our good angel, but our good friend from the
first. Not merely did he smooth the way for us, but he made it the
jolliest and most cheery way in the world. He is a bundle of strange
qualities, all good. He is Puck, with the brain of an administrator.
The king of story tellers, with an unfaltering instinct for
organization. A poet, and a mimic and a born comedian, plus a will
that is never flurried, a diplomacy that never rasps, and a capacity
for the routine of railway work that is--C.P.R. A man of big heart,
big humanness, and big ability, whom we all loved and valued from the
first meeting.

And, over all, he is a C.P.R. man, the type of man that organization
finds service for, and is best served by them; an example that did most
to impress us with a sense of the organization's greatness.

If I have written much concerning the C.P.R., it is because I feel
that, under the personality of His Royal Highness himself, the success
of the tour owes much to the care and efficiency that organization
exerted throughout its course, and also because for three months the
C.P.R. train was our home and the backbone of everything we did. If
you like, that is the chief tribute to the organization. We spent
three months confined more or less to a single carriage; we travelled
over all kinds of line and country, and
