seggiava per lie vie solitaire mel
cuore dele motif invernali onde
sottrarsi al tormento del suoi
medesimi penSieri.
La giustizia intanto correva
dietro di lui; il marchese Rione-
10 aveva proMesso un guiderdo-
ne immense a chiunque conse-
gnasSe nellie mani delPautorita
PassasSino di sua moglie---.
Una taglia era MESA sulla te-
sta del Pisani, il quale vedeva
spesso aggirarglisi intorno per-
some che Sembravano fiutarlo, e
10 guardavan tiSso, e 10 seguiva-
no. Per cui penso di trovar luo-
60 appartato remote, dove fos-
Sc malagevole il pescarlo; e tro-
yo ricetto in casa di una contadi-

di un buon archibugio da caccia;

tuomo che veniva in quel villag-

Stando cosi lie cose, un bel gior-
no penso che, mel case in cui fos-
Sc aITestato e condannato a NOR
te, il tesoro nascoSto nellO Step
patio (cosi chiamavasi la selva
del marchese del Gallo) sarebbe
perduto per lui e per j suoi figli;
percio decise di scrivere una let
terra al suo complice Basileo, nell
Ia quale, facendogli noto 10 state
della sua preSente eSiStenza, 10
avrebbe pregato di far recapita-
re al suoi fgliuoli in Calabria la
meta del tesoro che a lui, Pisani,
spettaya quail frutto del comune
delitto; per ricompensa di que
sto servigio, che doveva esser
fatto con delicatezza estrema, il
Pisani gil prometteva il silenzio
sulla compicita di lui. Scritta
questa lettera, ebbe modo di

iello che doveva servirgli per
campare alcun tempo, ando a sot-
terrare la cassettina soto una
quercia, nella Selva del marchese
del Gallo, sui Vallone di San Gen
marc del poveri.
Fatta queSta operazione, egli
viSse per qualche meSe tranquil
10 e vagabondo Sotto alho nome,
e cambiando sempre paeselli e
villaggi. Aveva interamente di-

sua coscienza non gil rimordeva
di aver SotTatto a cOStui la par

PiSani penSava che BaSileo do
veva contentarSi di quel tanto di
ORC e di argento che era state in
volato ALA marchesa Rionero, e
che era rimaSto a lui.
Non 81 puo dire lie orrende
notti che paSSava Nunzio Pisa
nj, gil Sbalzi di spavento, lie larve
del suoi Sogni, il grido lacerante
della Sua coScienZa. lie ultime
parole della marcheSa, la voce
ed il pianto della bambina gil rim
uonavano ale orecchie con ire
menda voce; e 10 sceIlerato III
cordava i suoi poveri figliuoh, il
cui amore, per giustizia di Dio,
gil 81 ribadiva mel petto. Talvolta
gil pareva che Caterina e Gaeta-

lorceria allontanava da lui ogni
Sospetto, essendo tenuto in con-

dunque dire quail fosse la sua sor-

lettera di Nunzio Pisani che gil
Scriveva da Qualiano. II suo cuo-

Mel momento in cui il notaro
riceve la lettera del Pisani, era

Era il cuor della notte. LoScu-
rita era tale, che due malvagi
non 81 vedevano Pun Paltro, e in
cedevano a paSSi frettoloSi.
Nunzio aveva dato a TommaSo
la borSa piena d'oro e un faZzo-
letto in cui erano diverSi oggetti
d'oro d'argento rubati ALA mar
chesa; egi portaya Ia cassettina.
AtuaverSando un podere, udi-
TOno il latrare di un maStino, ed

fu loro addoSSo in un momento.
NunziO, piu giovane. piu rObusto,
fugg1 come un lampo, temendo
non solo di eSSere aZZannato dali

Intanto BaSileo resto solo di

be fatto appunto quello che il
Pisani desiderava, E gil racco-
mandava di tener Ia parola, di
non I'ivelare la sua cOmphcita,
come egli avrebbe fedelmente
mantenuta la sua promeSsa di
far pervenire al figiuoli di lui in
Calabria la meta del teSoro Tu-
bato.
Nunzio viveva tranquillo e con
Panimo quasi in pace, quando u
ma Sera flu arreStato mel momen-
to in cui sedeva a lieto banchet-
to con la sua albergatrice.
Quella donna aveva scoperto
chi foSse il supposto cacciatore,
e, sedotta dial guiderdone pro-
messo dalla giustizia e dial mar
chese Rionero, consegnava nelle
mani della giustizia PasSaSSino di
Albina di Saintanges.
Dopo m ammo, il di 9 ottobre
1928, Nunzio Pisani moriva sui
la forca, nella piazza del Merca-
to di Napoh.
La giustizia degli uomini era
soddisfatta.
Tommaso Basileo, dopo la not
te dell'assassinio e del furto, non
avendo avuto piu contezza di
Nunzio, 81 persuase che questi
fosse fuggito in Calabria, por-
tando seco la cassettina dele gio-
lie. Qualche volta gil nasceva il
dubbio che quegi fosse state ar
restato in Napoi o in altra pro-
vincia del regno. Insomnia, pas
Sati alquanti mesi, il notaro non
penso piu al Pisani, e 81 contento
della porzione del furto che gil
era rimasta nellie mani, e che pur
valeva qualche migliaietto di du-
cati. Gil passo, sui principle, per
la mente di denunziare il Pisani
per vendicarsi di lui; ma 10 rat
teneva la paura che quegli, SEQ

lesasse il comphce. Questa pau
ia fu piu potente del desiderio
della vendetta.
