Strathern Hendrie.
Il remember going 10 present that
letter to Hendrie. l stopped on the
way and sat down on bench in the
small park, Grand Circus Park, in
the center of the city AS | sat there
the street cars went ioltiug and jung
ling past, for those were the days of
the old horse-cars, before Pingree
and Tom Johnson had come on the
scene. And as l sat on that bench
looking at the ramshaclle cars going
by, and felt in my pocket the letter
to Hendrie, l said to myself right
there, by JoVe, I'm going to get on
top of that concern
"oh, yes, I've never lacked self.
confidence and egotism,' added Sir
Albert, as he laughed Mt the audacity
OF his first project to get ON top" OF
the big street railway plant at De-
troit.
When the letter was presented,
Strathern Hendrie gave me my first
job, but really believe the idea was

get up at s o'clock in the morning

branch terminus, start work at 1880
in the morning and keep at it until
10 o'clock at night.
Il was counting the money

went on, when suddenly one of the
car horses ran amuck and dashed up
to the window where / sat counting
the cash. The first | knew the two

hasty retreat until the frightened
animal was brought under control.
But that didn't satisfy the superin-
tendent OF the line. He said / never
should have quit the cash even with
a runaway horse after me. The SUI
perintendent was very positive and
rather excited, and it looked MS
though ! was going to be discharged
there and then. II I'd been discharg-
ed it might have brought my Ameri-
can experience to Il rather sudden
end. But | wasn't discharged, and
that night the suporintendent's wife
came and explained to me that her
husbands strong language was due
TO excitement over the runaway.
Later on Tom Johnson took hold
Of the street railway situation.
There was at that time a well known
local agitator named Jim Grant, who
had great influence in stirring up the
conductors and drivers. So Tom

Johnson devised the plan OF hiring
Grant, giving him good position,
and thus Keeping him under control.
Grant was made superintendent of
one of the main lines, and it fell to
my lot to get up the time-schedule
for that line. l made up the sched-
ule and presented 1t to Grant rs SUI
perintendent, to go into effect next
morning. He glanced at it and there
was an explosion.
Not on your life he said. The

backed away slowly untd was
crowded out of the room. That was
the end of my schedule, and the next
day Jim Grant went home, sick.
And as the schedule didn't ~
into effect, the chief superintendent
sent for me. Now it began to look
like another discharge. But when
told of the exciting scene with Grant
egging on the men. the sMperintend-
ent said he was sorry l had gone
through such an experience. That
was lay chance, and ! had been wait
ing for it.

He thought 1t over, and finally
sent Me to look after the line tenn

Grant never came backIs'
That was the start of Sir Albert S
