The
King
wanted
to
borrow
his
deliverer
's
cudgel
and
warm
the
jackets
of
the
two
rascals
on
the
spot
;
but
the
man
said
no
,
it
would
bring
trouble
--
leave
the
matter
till
night
;
the
whole
tribe
being
together
,
then
,
the
outside
world
would
not
venture
to
interfere
or
interrupt
.
He
marched
the
party
back
to
camp
and
reported
the
affair
to
the
Ruffler
,
who
listened
,
pondered
,
and
then
decided
that
the
King
should
not
be
again
detailed
to
beg
,
since
it
was
plain
he
was
worthy
of
something
higher
and
better
--
wherefore
,
on
the
spot
he
promoted
him
from
the
mendicant
rank
and
appointed
him
to
steal
!
Hugo
was
overjoyed
.
He
had
already
tried
to
make
the
King
steal
,
and
failed
;
but
there
would
be
no
more
trouble
of
that
sort
,
now
,
for
of
course
the
King
would
not
dream
of
defying
a
distinct
command
delivered
directly
from
head-quarters
.
So
he
planned
a
raid
for
that
very
afternoon
,
purposing
to
get
the
King
in
the
law
's
grip
in
the
course
of
it
;
and
to
do
it
,
too
,
with
such
ingenious
strategy
,
that
it
should
seem
to
be
accidental
and
unintentional
;
for
the
King
of
the
Game-Cocks
was
popular
now
,
and
the
gang
might
not
deal
over-gently
with
an
unpopular
member
who
played
so
serious
a
treachery
upon
him
as
the
delivering
him
over
to
the
common
enemy
,
the
law
.
Very
well
.
All
in
good
time
Hugo
strolled
off
to
a
neighbouring
village
with
his
prey
;
and
the
two
drifted
slowly
up
and
down
one
street
after
another
,
the
one
watching
sharply
for
a
sure
chance
to
achieve
his
evil
purpose
,
and
the
other
watching
as
sharply
for
a
chance
to
dart
away
and
get
free
of
his
infamous
captivity
for
ever
.
Both
threw
away
some
tolerably
fair-looking
opportunities
;
for
both
,
in
their
secret
hearts
,
were
resolved
to
make
absolutely
sure
work
this
time
,
and
neither
meant
to
allow
his
fevered
desires
to
seduce
him
into
any
venture
that
had
much
uncertainty
about
it
.
Hugo
's
chance
came
first
.
For
at
last
a
woman
approached
who
carried
a
fat
package
of
some
sort
in
a
basket
.
Hugo
's
eyes
sparkled
with
sinful
pleasure
as
he
said
to
himself
,
"
Breath
o
'
my
life
,
an
'
I
can
but
put
that
upon
him
,
'
tis
good-den
and
God
keep
thee
,
King
of
the
Game-Cocks
!
"
He
waited
and
watched
--
outwardly
patient
,
but
inwardly
consuming
with
excitement
--
till
the
woman
had
passed
by
,
and
the
time
was
ripe
;
then
said
,
in
a
low
voice
--
"
Tarry
here
till
I
come
again
,
"
and
darted
stealthily
after
the
prey
.
The
King
's
heart
was
filled
with
joy
--
he
could
make
his
escape
,
now
,
if
Hugo
's
quest
only
carried
him
far
enough
away
.
But
he
was
to
have
no
such
luck
.
Hugo
crept
behind
the
woman
,
snatched
the
package
,
and
came
running
back
,
wrapping
it
in
an
old
piece
of
blanket
which
he
carried
on
his
arm
.
The
hue
and
cry
was
raised
in
a
moment
,
by
the
woman
,
who
knew
her
loss
by
the
lightening
of
her
burden
,
although
she
had
not
seen
the
pilfering
done
.
Hugo
thrust
the
bundle
into
the
King
's
hands
without
halting
,
saying
--
