THE TRAPPING OF WOLVERINE 145 



aching paws. &quot; How are you going to get 

 home. Little Comrade?&quot; he asked. 



&quot; I 11 give him a lift,&quot; interposed Blue Wolf. 

 &quot; Clamber up, old Curiosity.&quot; They were a 

 funny-looking party quite like an ambulance 

 train ; Muskwa asleep on Mooswa s horns, and 

 Carcajou astraddle of Wolf s strong back. 



&quot; Walk in Rof s tracks, Pisew, till you strike 

 a muskeg,&quot; ordered the King ; &quot; Fran9ois won t 

 fancy the fun of following a traveller like you 

 through a big swamp.&quot; 



&quot; I should like to hide that Trap,&quot; lamented 

 Carcajou. 



&quot; Oh, never mind,&quot; interrupted Black Fox. 

 &quot; Get away home, everybody.&quot; 



&quot; I 11 hear some choice French to-night,&quot; de 

 clared Jack. &quot;When Fran9ois discovers that 

 somebody has robbed his Trap, he 11 jabber 

 himself asleep.&quot; 



All the way to his home Carcajou swore ven 

 geance on the Man who had made his paws 

 so sore. &quot; You 11 do it, Brother,&quot; said Rof, 

 &quot; and I don t blame you. Of course we must 

 remember our oath about The Boy.&quot;
