o'clock Sunday afternoon and an hour
later was reported to be resting com-

Operating table He came to the hos-
pital shortly after noon Sunday and
entered the hospital walking from

While Mr. Dawes' condition i not
regarded as alarming his physician
Dr. W. R. Parses said tbe general

hospital for two werka.
Shortly after 5 o'rlork Dr. Parke
issued the following statement from
the hospital: .
"General Dawes stood the operarloa
niflfly. It was a simple operation of
herniotomy involving no vital organs.
The general will be in bed about two
weeks. His vitality is very good.
"Hii years ago when tbe general
waa being examined for promotion to

Manuel on bia way home from work one evening happened to atop
for a moment in a little Mexican dance hall in tbe Second ward. As
be entered the place a swaying gliding couple caught hts eye.
It was Rosita dancing with the erstwhile friend of his bosom.
Rosita playing around with the mho whom he . had befriended and
who even now waa trying to take his girl from' blm. Anger flamed
.within him bis black eyes sparkled then contracted and sparkled
again.
Sensing a battle the orchestra ceased playing and the friends
found themselves tbe center of a small ring on the dance floor. Long
rows of Ivorylike teeth gleamed In appreciation as tbe men awsyed
and fought under the flicker of the gaa torch.
Manual with the craftiness born of six years in tha States fought
skillfully and soon had Pablo on the verge of collapse.
With hands -of no nse against Manuel the "training of generations
of knlfe-flgbters 'asserted Itself within Pablo. His right hand darted
under his shirt the long keen-bladed knife gleamed In the yellow
light
A flash a Jab and Manuel fled screaming from the room. Pablo
slipped away unnoticed In the resulting confusion. When be had
somewhat recoverd Mannel went to his room. Here a scene of con-
fusion greeted him. Pablo'a fine clothing wss scattered over the
floor tha bright yellow shoes were thrown In a closet. The striped
silk shirt torr in half lay on the floor.
The peg where the worn and tattered clothing that Pablo had
worn Into tbe States had hung was bare. Pablo had gone back.
