teresting individuals who is per-
mitted to explore that almast un-
known land behind the counter, is
certain to be rewarded in his ef»
forta. . ;
Tt was on such a voyage of dis-
covery at Windsor street (Mont.
real) station of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, that Monsieur Louis Du-
part entered the horizan of the ex-
lorer, and added to the general
jnowledee of one individual. ;
Louis Dupart hes several claims
to fame. One is that he is the only
man of that name in Canadu—that
is his own statement—another is
that he is the original “Red Cap."
having heen the actual Number One
on the American Continent, and
‘ witness what an atmy has developed
from the original private in the
ranks ;
tt might.be thought from this
that Mr. Dupart is a colored man,
but make no mistake on that suore;
he is not, and, further, is a native
of one of the most. delightful cities
of the world, Paris.° In his birth-
lace Mr. Dupart touches history,
hile yet a lad he witnessed some
of the scenes of the siege in 1871
and remembers the hunger that was
one sad feature of those stirring
times, Mr. Dupart remains the pa-
triotic Frenchman, and by virtue of
his service is always allowed to ab-
sent himself on July 14th. the
French national festivai.
“Paris was terrible then,” coms
mented Mr. Dupart, “and not like.
the gay city it was to afterwards
become, so that in 1873 the ‘Canada
Agent’ there had but little difficul-
ty in persuading my parents to
make their way across the Atlantic,
The ‘Agent’ promised wages of three
to four dollare a day, but when we
came we found them only eighty
conta, and it was great satisfaction
afterwards to learn that he had been
sent to jail. We sailed on the Sean-
dinavian of the old Allan lise.”
: Started at Fifteen ;
Dupart, senior, set up a forge in
Duke street, Montreal, and it was
in that sturdy neighborhood that
Louis grew up, tntil at the age of
fifteen, a Mr. Cook, then superin-
tendent of the Y.M.C.A., used his in«
fluence to have him placed at work,
in Bonaventure station. There’ was
some difficulty in finding work for
Louis, but eventually he was given a
badge, and told to help the passen-
gers with their hand baggage, and
thus became the origina} Red Cap.
_- In 1887,. Mr. Dupart- joined the

at Dalhousie station—the old atruec-
ture is yet standing—became a bag-
gageman and a relief for the police
and the ticket men, and when Wind-
sor street station was. opened years.
afterwards he was transferred to
the new building, - In‘ the thirty-five
arg. of service with the Canadian
cific Mr. Dupart witnessed many
changes in the railway itself and in
the city, remembering when cows
wer’ pastured in St. Catherine
street, now the uptown shopping din.
triet of Montreal; In himself-he has.
changed only to the extent of he.
