The Call of the Wild And Selected Stories
“This was recognized throughout the Northland. Hell’s Spawn he was called by many men, but his master, Black Lecle‘re, chose for him the shameful name Diable. Now Black Lecle‘re was also a devil, and the twain were well matched. The first they met, Diable was a puppy, lean and hungry and with bitter eyes; and they met with snap and snarl and wicked looks, for Lecle‘re’s upper lip had a wolfish way of lifting and showing the cruel white teeth. And it lifted then and his eyes glinted viciously as ...he reached for Diable and dragged him out from the squirming litter. It was certain that they divined each other, for on the instant Diable had buried his puppy fangs in Lecle‘re’s hand and Lecle‘re, with thumb and finger, was coolly choking his young life out of him.

Lecle‘re turned to John Hamlin, storekeeper of the Sixty Mile Post.MoreLess
