LA FISSURE.
PAR ED. MARTIN-VIDEAU.
(SUITE)
L'exécution suivit de près la pensée.
J'abordai un groupe de plusieurs per
sonnes parmi lesquelles j'avais avisé des
gens de connaissance. L'accueil fut,
selon mon hypothèse, très cordial. On
causait politique. Après l'échange des
premières politesses, je pris part à la
conversation. L'un de mes interlocu
teurs exprimait des idées d'un socialisme
très ardent. Je lui opposai la répu
gnance que j'avais pour de tels princi
pes. Il riposta. Nous discutâmes. A
la fin. je m'écriai avec véhémence:
-Permettez-moi de vous dire que
vous défendez là des utopies dangereu
ses. Oui, monsieur, des utopies. La
vérité, c'est que l'homme est naturelle
ment enclin à jouir de la vie des autres,
en parasite. C'est ce que font les vaga.
bonds des grands chemins, pillards de
profemsion, qui, de champ en champ,
volent au tarvailleur la nourriture qu'il
gagne à la sueur de son front jusqu'à
complet épuisement de ses forces. C'est
ce que font aussi les mendiants des
villes qui simulent des infirmités pour
exiger de la société une subsistance que
leur paresse refuse de leur donner. Ah!
au lieu de s'abandonner à une pitié
funeste, que ne les prend-on pas tous
dans un filet pour les exterminer ensem
ble, d'un même ooup!
J'avais articulé ces dernières paroles
avec une extrême- violence. Quelques i
mots encore et l'aveu de mon crime
allait m'échapper en présence de mes
sompagnons, comme une fois déjà j'a
vais confeesé devant ma femme et Mme
Deport le meurtre de leur chat. Je le

mes pas. Une sente me-raccoureissait.
je la pris. Moins d'une demi-heure
après j'étais à ma porte, le coeur secoué
par des battements désordonnés. La
même question qui plus d'une fois de
puis mon crime avait harcelé mon es
prit, je me la posais encore en poussant
ma clef dans la serrure: îQuelqu'un,
pendant mon absence, n'était-il pas venu
se rendre compte?" Je courus directe
ment au puits. Le couvercle en était
abattu, le cadenas était intact. Je res
pirai bruyamment, délicieusement. Mais
je réfléchis. Je réfléchis que cette fer
meture était insuffisante pour ma garan
tie: on pouvait aisément la forcer au
moyen du moindre levier. Qu'arrive
rait-il ai, même par simple curiosité, on
regardait dans le puits? N'y aperce
vrait-on pas le cadavre qui maintenant
surnageait ? Tout en arpentant les
Sallées de mon jardin, je me mis en quête
d'une solution. Je la trouvai enfin :
combler le puits. L'idée traversa mon
esprit comme un trait de lumière et tout
de suite je conçus mon plan. J'allais
acheter des moellons comine pour une
bâtisse. Quelques charges me suffi
raient. Une fois déposées chez moi, le
reste me concernait. En attendant, je
pouvais utiliser déjà un tas de gravier
que j'avais sous la main.
Ce plan arrêté, séance tenante j'en
commençai l'exécution. La nuit étant
venue, je me rendis à mon jardin et je
brouettai mon gravier que je jetai par
pelletées dans lepuits. Je travaillai de
la sorte, avec une ardeur infatigable,
pendant quatre on cinq heures ane in
terruption. N'ayant plus de gravier, je
refermai le couvercle au cadenas et
f'allai dormir.
Cette foims, mon sommeil fait calme. Je

Je charriais, je charriais! Le tas de
moellons diminuait à peine, je n'en
voyais pas la fin. Ce n'était pas sans
d'affreux battements de coeur que je
m'approchais du puits. Je soulevais
une pierre, je la lançais. Elle heurtait
les parois, ricochait l'eau. Cela faisait:
"Plouf!" Parfois l'eau jaillissait jus
qu'à moi, m'éclaboussait ; parfois le
bruit s'assourdissait : la pierre était
tombée sur le cadavre. Je frissonnais
comme si une secousse électrique m'eût
couru de la tête aux pieds. Encore un
moellon, un autre moellon. La brouette
be vidait; je la remplissais. Cela devait
monter dans le puits; le cadavre, à pré
sent enseveli, devait avoir coulé. Je
jetais toujours. La sueur ruisselait sur
tout mon corps. Je ne sentais plus la
fatigue de mes bras, la cuisson de mes
mains meurtries, déchirées. Il fallait
en finir avant l'aube, il fallait que, le
lendemain, il ne fût plus question de
rien: l'homme serait à jamais enfoui
sous un tombeau de moellons, et moi,
moi, je pourrais respirer sans terreur.
Le tas maintenant, baissait. Sous la
chute des pierres l'eau avait cessé de
jaillir. Je me hâtais de plus en plus,
car je voyais une lueur blanchir à l'ho
rizon. Tout à coup un vent frais passa;
les nuages se déchirèrent et la pluie se
mit à tomber. Très fine, elle ne tarda
pas à avoir imbibé mes vetements, me
pénétrant jusqu'à la peau. Je fus se
coué par un frisson glacé. Alors, seule
ment, je renonçai à ma besogne. Je
rentrai chez moi et après avoir bu un
verre de vin chaud je me couchai. J'es
sayai en vain de m'assoupir: mes mus
dles, surmenés par un accès de travail,
avaient des soubresauts qui me réveil
laient. Et puis, quoique pelotonné sons
mes couvertulres et malgré le vin chaud
que j'avais bu, je ne parvenais pas à me
réchauffer. Quelquefois mâme je me
prenais à grelotter, à claquer des dents.
Sûrement, il se passait en moi quelque
chose d'insolite. Je me relevai, je bus
un grog et me remis au lit. Une réac
tion commença à se faire, ma peau
suinta. Je- pensai: "Voilà le salut !"
Mais de nouveau mon corps se refroidit.
Effrayé, je me soulevai sur mon oreiller.
En face de moi, une glace était appli
