TABLES TURNED ON sLEUTH.
An Angry Chicago Shopper Resents OGlciOus Interference of
 Women Detectives.

The tables were turned upon a wom-
 m detective in one of the large depart
 ment stores recently, reports a Chi cago exchange, when q woman whom she had been following from counter to counter turned on her and not only pulled her hair, but tore her gown. To
 a policeman who was summoned by the detective the shopper said that she was not q thief, and that the detectives espionage was an insult. No arrest was made. The female detectives are known
 to the regular patrons of the stores where they are employed. ard it is not
 improbable, when the shopper said that it was an insult to be followed by this woman, that she was thinking
 what opinion the other shoppers might
 form of her. One store iu this town
 which obtained lot of free advertising
 several years ago because of tEe energy
 of its female detective has Eaid heavily
 for 1t since. Ii was a store .Eich i,v it's arrangement offered great temptatiou to sh0plifters. and undoubtedly Ii sui fered from them. The woman Ge1e-:- i've was engaged, and as she was the pioneer of her class she attracted so much attention that she became un- duly ambitious in her line of work. If q shopper happened 10 Pic! Up n ar tiele and walk tc another counter with it, habit of many women. tie de- tective was right beside her, and she felt that in the eyes Of inc sleuth she was . probable thief. even 1T TO arrest was attempted. The annoyance of this woman's acticEs became SO great and the number of arrests made by her was so large that the old patrons of the store fell away. They felt that the risk of being mistaken for a shoplifter out weighed the advantage of the bargains offered.
