I followed the other "Experiment" around, yesterday afternoon, at a distance, to see what it might be for, if I could. But I was not able to make out.

I think it is a man. I had never seen a man, but it looked like one, and I feel sure that that is what it is. I realize that I feel more curiosity about it than about any of the other reptiles.

If it is a reptile, and I suppose it is; for it has frowzy hair and blue eyes, and looks like a reptile.

I was afraid of it at first, and started to run every time it turned around, for I thought it was going to chase me; but by and by I found it was only trying to get away, so after that I was not timid any more, but tracked it along, several hours, about twenty yards behind, which made it nervous and unhappy.

At last it was a good deal worried, and climbed a tree. I waited a good while, then gave it up and went home.

Today the same thing over. I've got it up the tree again.


SUNDAY.—It is up there yet. Resting, apparently. But that is a subterfuge: It looks to me like a creature that is more interested in resting than it anything else. It would tire me to rest so much. It tires me just to sit around and watch the tree. I do wonder what it is for; I never see it do anything.
