LONDON, March 10th.
It was a dy burglar that drank at the expense of the landlord of the Clarence. A cat burglar needs something to get his claws into.
The fly simply walked up a bare pipe at the back of Aldersgate street, and walked into the parlour of the old Clarence. There was no But the spider in the parlour. C.I.D. is doing its best to spin a web to-day.
When the Ay-burglar and his mates-helped up by a rape the fy had dropped them-finally left the Clarence's cellars, they must already have repented their rapturous, wild, and ineffable pleasure.

£130.
When the thieves found the cash. register was empty, they showed they bore no ill-will by unrolling the yards of white paper tape from the registering machine, and drap ing it in gay festoons all round the collars. Since the spider was ab- sent, they would make him a paper web in derision.
But the subsequent meal led to disaster. Four bottles of Bollinger '19 warmed the visitants in the chilly night, after, of course, the orthodox cocktaila had been taken by way of appetiser.
