If ondly me frind, Bill, wuz here sure, there wuz th' foine lad!" Appleton pulled at his gray mustache and regarded the other thoughtfully. "You knew him well this Bill?" he asked. "Oi wuz th' fur-rst whoite man he seen in th' woods th' day he stud knee-dape in th' shnow av th' tote-road, lukin' down at th' carcass av D'ablish.
Mushed two whole days t'rough th' shnow. "But, listen; no mather how ignorant, nor how much he don't know, a good man's a man an' to pr-rove ut he jumps wid his axe roight into th' middle av th' werwolf's own an' kills noine, countin' th' three cripples Oi finished. "But wid D'ablish herself, moind, he t'row'd away his axe an' goes to a clinch wid his knoife in his fisht.
D'ablish, th' loup-garou, the Frinchies call her; an' the white divil, the Injuns an' good rayson, f'r to me own knowledge she's kilt foive folks, big an' shmall, an' some Injuns besides. They claim she's a divil, an' phwin she howls, 'tis because some sowl has missed th' happy huntin' grounds in th' dyin', an' she's laughin'." "I don't know that I blame them," said Bill.
An' phwin 'tis over an' he picks himsilf up out av th' shnow an' wipes th' blood from his eyes her blood f'r he comes out av ut widout scratch nor scar D'ablish lays at his feet dead as a nit." Fallon gazed triumphantly into the incredulous faces of the men, and, with a smile, added, "'Twas thin Oi dhrug her be th' tail to th' sled, afther shmashin' her head wid th' axe to make sure."
