TULSA, Okla, November 19.-George
H. Hurford, So, wealthy bookmaker, was
safe at his country estate today, after
spending 80 hours blindfolded in the
hands Of two kidnapers, but the mystery
of his abduction remained.
Hurford shed little light, authorities
said, which would enable them to deter
mine the motives or identity of the men
who abducted him from his home Sum
day night only to release him yesterday
at Chetopa, Kans.
formed" he said, land got the wrong
lcngth and they finally decided they
were mistaken. So they agreed to let
me CO."
He asserted they had not asked q
ransom or made any demands in return
for his freedom.
Hurford said he was unable to ex-
plain why he was kidnapped.
Released from his captors' automobile
at 8 am, Hurford was arrested for
investigation by Chetopa policeman
Although unframed, he appeared some
what dazed. Chetopa officers said, and
his identity was not established until
they found his Oklahoma hunting
license in pocket of his clothing
Tulsa detectives were sent to Chetopa
Immediately and returned here with
LIurford
Seemingly none the worse for the
experience Hurford told of the episode
lest night as he sat in the living room
of his homn. He was still wearing the
hunting clothes in which he was
dressed Sunday night when he and
Mrs Hurford returned home to be met
by two men, one of them masked, who
forced Hurford, at the point of shot
gun, to accompany them.

Take the Doctors Advice About
PLUTO WATER

MOST people foolishly just go ahead and
buy brand name when they need a physic.
They don't stop TO ask Doctors advice. 1t
is always wise TO consult your doctor.
Here we offer the advice not of one doctor
but of twenty-tbyss! This group of doctors
from all over the country plainly tells YOU
"Use Pluto Water.
The originals of these endorsements and
photographs are in our files at French Lick
Springs. However, out of respect TO long
standing custom in the medical profession
and because medical societies prefer that
doctor-members refrain from lending their
names to printed Observation-Disclosures
have, in fairness to these doctors, omitted
their names and made their photographs
unacceptable.

Brynmor flushed, I suppose l was @ fool
 Its because all men are fools, in a way that we girls mus get educated she smiled condeseend- ingly. "A girl must have g dash of sophistication these days
 Yet I often wish the sunm2r were back" Brynmor admitted. .Dont you. Mary Lou?"
 For a moment she hesitated. To have last summer back never to have known Tony what a lot of heartaches she would have saved and there were more coming when she must give him up and pretend she didn't care.
 Did she wish that summer vas back? Night as well wish she'd never been born. To her, by this time, Tony was life itself. He was all that mattered. No, it was better to have lived in hell than never to have lived.
 Of course, I don't wish that" she told Brynmor. How could !? Don't you understand?"
 "Titherington's 6 lucky chap was his only comment.
 As she prepared to leave him Rrvnrnor urae Clltspolkcn in his Qrat- itude for her company.
 Couldn't we meet again soon" he suggested.
 The practical streak in Mary Lou sprang to her lips before she con sidered her words
 "Why not?'
 It might be wise to hang onto Brynmor she unused later, as she rode homeward. He might come in handy-after she and Tony had abandoned that aggravating game of make-believe.

Chapter A CONDOLENCES

It was the fifth day after the abrupt termination of his affair with Clarice. Slowly but painfully Brynmor had dragged himself from a shroud of despair
 In his mind he had reconstructed the whole scene that had occurred in Clarice's flat, and there no long CT was any suggestion that 1t was he who had let Clarice down. No, on the contrary, she had sent him ruthlessly from her, and he was rather glad it had turned out that way.
 Undoubtedly she had preferred that chap Mason. Yet Brynmor felt that on the whole, he had behaved quite creditably about the whole affair. He never would fall in love again, of course. The experience with Clarice had been sufficient lesson.
 II occurred to him that morning that it would be pleasant to see Mary Lou again. He decided to take her to tea at Claxon. They could talk quietly there, and 1t would do him good to unburden himself to someone who understood him.
 Over the telephone he limited to her that some tragedy was over shadowing his life. If she would take tea with him at the ClaXon he'd be deeply grateful.
 Mary Lou, distinctly surprised agreed to come. As an afterthought Brynmor inquired if she had hac any news of Titherington. No, there was no news, she said, discourag- inely, and hung up the receiver.
 Brynmor was sunk in a deep comfortable lounge in the Claxon'' lobby shortly after five o'clock. Ht felt years older than he had week before. He was sure tha' Mary Lou, because of her worry about Tony's disappearance, alst would be in a serious mood. Ht hoped so, and he had counted or it.
 From the doorway Mary Lot sighted Brynmor. Her red coal and red hat were in colorful con- trast to the sobriety of the hote atmosphere.
 To Brynmor's surprise she wavee excitedly and rushed up to hin breathlessly.
 Isn't it marvelous?" she began q don't know what to do. l fee like turning somersault right II herei"
 Brynmor looked at her in serlou reproach. Hadn't he made it clea over the telephone that he ha' something serious to tell her? Ye here she was, exuberant and guSh ing with enthusiasm.
 Has anything happened, Mar Lou?" Brynmor asked calmly, hop ing to restrain her.
 Has anything happened?" sh echoed. Haven't you read the eve ming papers? Tony is safe!'
 ~Oh, I'm glad of that" Bryn nor tried to force enthusiasm, An of course he was glad, he tried t assure himself. He wished tha the good news had come later-ai ter he had had a chance to tell hi story first. Her vivacity had ups' him.
 And the best part of it is" Mar 1ou continued, that Tony an MacTayish are none the worse fC their forced landing. It seen that something happened to Ga Girls propeller. They landed to I it but couldn't. And then som' thing went wrong with their wir' less. That put them in a devil mess. -
