It's Diablesse the loup-garou!" "'Tis none other that last. But, man! Man! The first wan! Was it a human cry or from the throat of another of her hell-begotten breed?" Without waiting to reply the Frenchman swung the big six-team in their tracks and headed them toward camp. But Irish Fallon reached for him as he fumbled at the clevis. "Howld on, ye frog-eater! Be a man!
Everything would have gone off splendidly if that little diablesse Titi had not revived her feud with Fanchette. You are not surprised to hear that Aspasia's goods were seized this morning. The duke must have had more than enough of it by this time, and has, of course, discovered that he has been the laughing-stock of his friends for a long time past.
It was here he had first met Fallon, and he remembered the undisguised approval in the Irishman's voice and the firm grip of the hand that welcomed him into the comradery of the North-men as he stood, faint from hunger and weary from exertion, staring dully down at the misshapen carcass of Diablesse.
"You would give me this!" Bill smiled. "Yes, that is all I have, here in the woods. But when I return I will bring you many things from the land of the white men." "The robe of Diablesse!" she breathed softly, as she gazed down upon the peculiar silvery sheen of the great white wolfskin. "I had rather you gave me this than anything else in the world." She stopped in sudden confusion.
He sat himself down, talked of the Regent, of pleasure, of women, and, at last, of this very tall lady in question. "La pauvre diablesse," said he, contemptuously, "I had once compassion on her; I have repented it ever since. You have no idea what a terrible creature she is; has such a wen in her neck, quite a goitre. Mort diable!"
You had better go to bed. I should have warned you." "Yes, sir I did not I mean I " "C'est une diablesse a little devil. There are others, and worse ones, John. Good-night." On the stairs the young fellow felt a deepening sense of humiliation and surprise as he became aware of the value of the banister-rail.
"Upon the day before his departure for the land of the white man he gave to the girl the skin of Diablesse, and then she told him she loved him, and begged him to remain with her in the country of the Indians. "But he would not, for he does not love Jeanne, but another a woman of his own people, who lives in the great city of the white man.
Matters did not improve after the accession of George I to the British throne. He disliked his daughter-in-law, Caroline, daughter of John Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg-Anspach, and spoke of her as "Cette diablesse Madame la Princesse." The opposition was not slow to take advantage of the rift, and planted itself on the side of his Royal Highness.
Only the robe means much more, for, among men but one man could have slain the loup-garou, and in all the North there is none like it the robe of Diablesse! and it shall bring us luck and and happiness?" she added, the rich voice melting to softness. At the words the man glanced quickly into the face of the girl and encountered the shy, questioning gaze of the mysterious dark eyes.
At the conclusion of one of these tours of inspection, Bill came suddenly upon the girl standing in awe before the skin of Diablesse, which remained where he and Fallon had nailed it on the wall of the bunk-house. Bill carefully removed the nails and laid the dry pelt at the feet of the girl. "See," he said, "the skin of the werwolf it is yours." "Mine!" she cried, with shining eyes.
