If you look in the book for the defi nition of "stenographer" you will find that It says "one who is skilled In "stenography."

Bill went out on a bat It was no baby bat with weak abd wobbly wings, but a full-grown, woolev, pink-eyed product of the night with llfe-alged whoops and barbaric ex hortations. For two days it lasted In all its elementary ruggedness and then the lure of bualneas began to get the better of the booze and Bill began to circle 'round his place of business as a moth aweepa in narrowing rings about the fatal flame. At last his wavering stepa brought him to the door and he slipped through Into the establishment quietly in order not to attract attention. He hung for a time about the front of the atore, keeping out of the range of vision of the stenographer, who. In her little of fice above the main floor, was lagging at her keya and keeping a weather eye on the door. The eagle eye caught a glimpse of BUI Smith as he -slipped from one aisle of the store to another and the sten ographer advanced to the fray. Bill saw. her coming and made for the door, but he steered an uneven course and the stenographer headed htm off.
