Tom finds a number of cloven hoof prints, which belong to the Devil, for example, as well as clumps of black hair strewn around the site.

In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Tom thinks that the Devil must have had a tough time with his wife based on his observations of the Indian fort when he goes to look for her. Tom finds a number of cloven hoof prints, which belong to the Devil, for example, as well as clumps of black hair strewn around the site.
For Tom, these findings suggest that his wife gave as good as she got. She fought back against the Devil and experienced some success, given that she was able to rip out his hair and chase him around.
It is the Devil, however, who was ultimately victorious. All that remains of Tom's wife is her apron, which contains her heart and liver. Tom never finds out what really happened to his wife, but is certain that, no matter what, she gave the Devil a good fight.
