Plerce's Main street store of two ONercOatS and suit of clothes two weeks ago tomorrow night. One man has been sent to jail for compllcltN , in this crime but the other made good his escape. Through his accom- TuCe, however, good description was obtained and the one furnished rN the Meriden police fits him per fectly. The identification is made more complete by the absence of two fingers on one of the prisoners hands. The imprisoned rObber declared that the other man was minus two fingers.

 According to his own profession he had been in the city only a few hours. Two first fingers on Johns left hand have been amputated at the first joints.

Meanwhile we had buried our- selves well in the earth, and when the rain ceased and the bullets began again to come from the willow trees they could no longer molest us. With loud spashes they h.t the soft loam about us, but we were below the level of the parapet We had thrown up.
 Another half hour and our work was done. With not a dry thread on our bodies, and covered with mud from head to foot, we returned to our quarters. accompanied by the hum- ming of the bullets which sped about us

Well Told in q Letter.

What it means to be pioneer is well told in a letter which has just been published in the German press The writer explains that the division staff had thought it advisable to ad- vance closer to the French trenchea. Before this could be done a trencn had to be dug; oth herwise the infantry sent there would have been moved down by the fire from the other side. The locality of the proposed trench lay between the French and German trenches.
 'So we left the half-ruined, little village on the banks of the canal, reached the highway, and labored through the deep mud and arounI the holes blown in the ground by shells" continues the pioneer About us hummed bullets which seemed to have lost their way, and the spades beat gently against the rifles.

Had Hazardous Trip.

After wading through muddy fields we crossed a pontoon bridge, upon which our steps resounded in dull concussions. Later we entered along the sphere of the English bull lets, and had to get into the ditch along the road to escape them. After that we crossed more muddy fields, crept through barbed-wire fences, and finally reached the spot.
 There We deployed and went to work It had started to rain again, and the ground we worked in became softer than it had been. We worked like maniacs to get cover against the fire of the enemy. Though it was dark the bullets hit the wall of nearby house like hail
 After a while the fire grew worse. Lay downn came the command We rested soft enough in the mud but there was a nasty smell about it. For ten minutes we waited in this posi- ton, and then resumed our work Some of the ground we were on had been filled in, it seemed, for after q while We hit a layer Of brick frag- ments which seriously retarded our progress.

"The trench we were digging was only 1S0 to 200 feet from the trench of the enemy, some of the bravest of whom had perched themselves in the crowns of some willow trees and were popping away at us.
 But a winter thunderstorm came to our aid; it's downpour caused the ardour of the men in the trees to cool.
 We kept on with our work to the plishment of the incessant heavy artillery fire from, both sides. Now and then the bombardmcnt would develop into a long, rolling cannonade Shrieking and bowling, the proiectiles rushed through the air above us, to explode on either side with terrific crashes.
