cc Run to the King and ask for help, as is the

&quot; Gently, Mister Lieutenant, gently ; don t get

&quot; Wait till I get out of this,&quot; screamed Carca 

 jou ; &quot;I 11 warm your jacket.&quot;

&quot; That s a good Pisew hurry, please Fran- 

 9ois may come &quot; 



&quot; On one condition,&quot; added Lynx, sitting down 

 on his haunches with deliberate self-possession. 



&quot; Hang the conditions ! &quot; blustered Carcajou 

 &quot;talk of conditions with a Fellow s fingers in a 

 steel Trap ! &quot; 



cc All the same, I 11 only do it on one condi

 just what I want you to promise now, before I 

 help you.&quot; 



&quot; I 11 see you Snared first ! &quot; grunted Wolve 

 rine, snapping at the Trap chain which was fastened 

 to the pole, until he screamed with pain. 



&quot; All right I m off ! Francois will soon find 

 you,&quot; declared Pisew.
