Shapiro worked for were delighted
with her services. They would have
been happy TO have retained her az a
clerk. But she did not wish to remain
a clerk. She had q finer mind than
some of the men she worked for, and
a better grasp of business She thought
she might aspire to some official posi-
ton, like secretary or assistant secre-
tary to corporation. She knew she
had executive ability, and with her
skill at accounts and her fine grasp of
correspondence and general business
she knew she could give good service.
Men who knew her capabilities praised
her highly, and declared she was one
of the brightest young women they
ever had found in the business field
Praise is very pleasant, but when
there was a vacancy in a secretarial
position, and Miss Shapiro applied for

position hemmed and hawed. They

coming he ran down Cuthbert's alley
with the two policemen In close pur-
suit. In an effort to attract the at
tention Of police headquarters and to
brighten the negro. Sergeant Payne
fired a shot. into the air, and when he
did the fleeing negro turned and hred
pointblank at the officers. The SER
geant returned the fire, the second shot
taking effect, but the fugitive was
not sufficiently wounded to halt the
chase. He turned up Market street
and through the stable yard OF Cap
tain Heath, where he disappeared.
The officers exerted every effort to
find him. but he had made good his
