One day he forgot the witch's warning. He proudly gazed at himself in his wife's mirror. When he felt for it the magic watch, had ,gone from his pocket. He waited in vain for its return but it never came back. So he was reduced to again work hard for a living.
KOL-LOY-LL
About thirty years ago a family group of Hungarian Gyp¬ sies camped on the edge of University Heights in Madison. There were but few houses there then. These Romany by their dress and rather rough ways soon became pretty much of a nuisance in the neighborhood. They were always begging for food and clothing and frightened the women and children. One night, when one of the women was alone in her home, she heard a noise in the yard and looked out of the window to see what might be its cause. A light was flashing in and out among the bushes. As she gazed, a lighted lantern was suddenly thrust against the window pane and a rough voice called out—"Kol-loy-U, kol-loy-11,—kol-loy-U!" She was very much frightened. The lantern was now carried around to other windows of the house and the cry of "kol-loy-11,—kol- loy-11!" repeated at each. As the woman was too badly frightened to open the door the intruders left the premises. When her husband returned he made inquiries at the Gypsy camp. Then he learned that they were again on one of their begging visits and wanted to borrow some coal oil or kero¬ sene for their lanterns.") The whole neighborhood was greatly relieved when these Romany left the vicinity.
THE WINGED PRINCE
"A very clever Gypsy made a pair of wings from goose feathers. These he fastened to his person and flew to the Emperor's palace. The Emperor bought the wings for his son, giving him a bag of gold for them. One day the Prince put on the wings and flew to the South. There, in a wood, he found a large house three stories of which were made of stone and one (the top story) of glass. Here a beautiful Prin¬ cess was being kept a prisoner. She could not escape from her glass prison. When it was dark the Prince tied on his

| Description |
Charles E. Brown (1872-1946) was curator of the Museum of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and secretary of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. He also collected a substantial body of folklore on Wisconsin Indians, lumbering, steamboating, local history, and related topics which he published in pamphlet form. Brown created these pamphlets for the Wisconsin Archaeological Society, the Wisconsin Folklore Society, courses he taught during University of Wisconsin summer sessions, and simply as privately published booklets for the amusement of his friends and colleagues. Most are only 4-8 pages long. In the printed booklets, Brown did not usually cite sources for the tales, but his correspondence and research notes are available in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives in boxes 2-10 of Wis Mss HB.
