It was nothing more than a bit of fun me and my mate was having," he affirmed boldly. Superintendent Finnan smiled sardonically. "That is what the K. & Z. call it, eh?" Alex, still with a hand on the prisoner's arm, felt him start. But brazenly the man replied, "K. & Z.? What's the K. & Z.? A ranch brand? I never heard of it."
Thanking him, Alex urged the pony forward, and leaped to the ground beside a dark-haired, energetic young man bending over a sheet of figures.

You beat me here, eh?" he said genially. "Well, what do you make of it?" Alex sprang down beside him, and produced the charred pine whittlings. "I found these on the bottom of the car, sir.
Lady Harriet, by the exercise of some overpowering though purely intellectual spell, made the proudest of men, the modern Diogenes, our later Swift, so much her slave that for twelve years, whenever he could steal a day from his work, he ran at her beck from town to country, from castle to cot; from Addiscombe, her husband's villa in Surrey, to the Grange, her father-in-law's seat in Hampshire; from Loch Luichart and Glen Finnan, where they had Highland shootings, to the Palais Eoyal.
