He formed no attachment for any one, nor did he seem to care for any one.

He never played with any of the children around him, or seemed anxious to do so.

When not hungry he used to sit petting and stroking a pareear or vagrant dog, which he used to permit to feed out of the same dish with him.

A short time before his death Captain Nicholetts shot this dog, as he used to eat the greater part of the food given to the boy, who seemed in consequence to be getting thin.

The boy did not seem to care in the least for the death of the dog.
