Joachim Crete, a miller of Beausejour was not really a bad man, but he did jeer at church collections and failed to try to convert his hired man merely because he was such a good partner at checkers. On Christmas night they played, instead of going to church. They even, in a mood of defiance, set the mill going, as if it were an ordinary night. Suddenly crack! and the mill stopped working. Then the lantern went out, and the two men were lett in trembling darkness! After that the hired man tumbled down stairs, and the miller began to drink fast and furiously! Presently he heard a deep moaning, and turned to see a huge dog about to sattack him. Then the miller knew it was Loupâ€"Garou, and he fell on his knees praying for forâ€" giveness. But he lunged at the dog with a reaping hook, and wounded him. That was the saving of the hired man, for according to the legend, i you have been turned into the form of a wolf or dog because of evil deeds, only a bloody wound can restore you. Loupâ€"Garou is one of many suck legends. 6 GONSERVATINES .
