How did sergeant major Morris acquire the paw?
Since the Sergeant Major first speaks about being in India, we can assume that when he speaks of the Fakir who put the spell on the paw that the incident occurred while he was in India. By interpolation of what he says, we can infer that one of Morris' colleagues had a dispute about fate with a Fakir who cursed the paw to prove a point. After the initial man had his first two wishes he wished for death as his third wish and it was bequeathed to Morris afterwards.
