Woolly Wisp - By John HortlA HamJJju THE mere fact that lie wu a sheep pare him a woollj reputation. He had not alwajre flurked with Virginia' deniaena, yet he lived there when that place reeked of wild, western life, and the sheep seemed not at all out of his element on the gtty Comstock Lode. Woolly was a derelict, a lone lamb when first he entered Virginia s pre' eincts, abandoned by a careless shep herd and pursued by coyotes Into the rery heart of that bustling mining camp. The miners were Just chang ing shifts when the lambkin darted down C street, night shadows threw a gloom abroad, and the diminutive, tilt ting white object mystified the miners as they trooped homewards. One thick-tongued Individual shouted out "Look at it, boys! Tis a will o' wisp!' The "wisp" bleated pitifully, and the merry men laughed loudly as tbey be held a timid lamb. "Not will o' wisp, Blimps, but a decidedly woolly one, man!" In such fahslon did the sheep come by hie name, and from that date Woolly Wisp played a privileged role In Virglnla'a circles. No one person claimed him. lie waa publio prop erty, and eonseqtiently Woolly's bringing tip lacked a certain propor tion of home influence so essential to the proper trainlngof yotingthlngs. The first real wicked deed Woolly en acted endeared him to the whole bevy of school children. If the sheep had reasoning powers, one wou.d be in elined to believe he maliciously planned his assault against I'rof. Wig- stie, prlncipsl of the Virginia schools, The principal adhered to the "rod" motto, and the pupils hated him much and feared him more. Prof. Wigstle waa partial to tan shoes; he cared not what style they were so long as the color gleamed yellow. Ills most recent acquisition In shoe leather made glad his heart a glaring saffron shsde.and soles that squeaked in a minor key thus attracting not only the eye but the ear as well. Woolly Wisp stood in a side street one bright morning. The hang of bis head bespoken dejectednessj a bat tered tin can, suffixed, cxplulnlng bis bad mood. Woolly frequently rattled tin-ware through tho precipitous streets on Mt. Davidson's slopes. It always ruffled his temper, which was pretty average bad at ita best. While brooding In this ugly stnte of mind, a tall, spare man with vividly yellow and noisy shoes adnrninghis pedal extrem Itles squeaked by in Insolent complni eance. Woolly stomped his foot; the can clattered behind him off he went, not like, but In reality, a battering ram. Prof. Wlgstie aprawled quite across C street. Many of his irrepres sible pupils gathered about the fallen owner of yellow shoes and lost dignity. Woolly Wisp tarried not, but continued on bis career at a rattling pace. After that star performance of the aheep, no youth In any of the Virginia "cliqurs" ever again attached things to his tail. lie was, In their eyes, a creature to be revered as the hero who "downed" the terrible Wlgstie. In such guise Woolly commanded all due re spect from the younger generation, and his future popularity waa assured sim ply by that one daring act. Woolly wasn't a traditional lamb, for he never ventured near the school house. The truce established between himself and the school children oo etirrrd at a too recent date to carry any weight with him. lie distrusted Impul sive youth, and many times he betook himself to the outskirts of Virginia City that he might be entirely out of eight and hearing of rough youngsters. Prof. Wigstle lived near the town's edge, In a house that looked three sto ries high, front view, and a mere shed, back view. The steepness of the side hill site accounted for this disparity. The small front yard biased with big sunflowers and brilliant (lalillns. Woolly admired this rare garden-spot, and forced an entrance one luckless afternoon. The professor, returning from school, espied the trespasser; his wrath flared forth, and he bore down upon the sheep In a freniy. Woolly realised that safety lay in flight, and he immediately took that course. Away went pedagogue and ram, careening down the mountain. At a moment when the race seemed lost to Prof. Wlgstie, a dire calamity befell the pursued. An old mining shaft, partially oliecured by sage brush, yawned directly In the sheep's path. He disappeared down ita black depths. No sign, no sound could Prof. Wigstle detect of the ingulfed tor ment. "Uood enoughl That blasted beast Is a hoodoo, and It's good riddance of this petted Woolly Wisp." The removing of the $700,000,000 worth of silver and gold from thr heart of Mt. Davidson necrsnltated a wonderful amount of excavutlon. To any that the whole mountain is honey combed is a plain statement of truth. A force of men picking in a tortuous drift heard a muffled ba-a, ba a. They stopped work; caught the sound again, and, with a few strokes of picks, broke through Into an old shaft. liather an emaciated-looking sheen niet their surprised unit. Due of his horns had been broken off; he appeared slightly dated-but they recognized in him the mysteriously disappeared Woolly W'isp. "Poor Woolly I You're a sorry sight, but we are right glad to see you again," said Sllmps, he who first dis covered this will o' wisp. It didn't tnke long to c,cl the sheep out of his underground prikoii, tin-did It consume much time for l.im to re gain his normal sprightliin-ss. .Southern Oregon State Normal School. AfIII.n.

Ilia peculiarities were extremely at ends that Is, he adored yello shoes, as hereinbefore mentioned and, although past 50, had luxuriant curly, block hair. On a Kuuday, sev eral daya after Woolly's retcue, the professor and his wife were coming home from church. The morning had dawned beautifully, so Prof. Wigstie took much psins with his toilet. rihoes a burnished yellow, hair an oily mass of curls. A Washoe zephyr sprung suddenly out of the west, even ss the congregation poured forth from the holy edifice. It blew and raged and rampaged with vim. It twisted gowns iwry, and raught up an occasional hat or kerchief, or loose wrap. Prof. Wigstie held on to his head-gear faith fully; abruptly turning a corner, he let go his hat, threw up his hands and shouted: ".Sarah, Karuh, look at Hi That demon of a sheep! Why he is a thousand feet " Ihe sentence went unfinished. A bolsteTOUs gust snatched the profes sor's hat, and at first thought one would imagine his hair arose from fright at the spectacle of Woolly Wisp'a ghost. Not so; his hair lacked anchorage 'twas false. And there. In sight of the whole" congregation Prof. Wigstle stood, a hatlcaa, hair less Individual; while his wig strange coincidence that Wlgatie should wear a wig whirled gayly on the wings of the wind. "Hoodoo sheepl noodoo sheep!" The words ran through his mind and slipped audibly over his tongue. The "hoodoo" sheep saw the tangled black hall of hair rolling swiftly toward him He jumped aside then In funny stiff legged leaps he took after the object His low ba-a, ba-a, accompanied every jump. A jolly crowd of miners stepped oul of a saloon. They observed the detail of the Saliliath etrret-show and liow they did hoot! Some one grabbed up the wig with mock courtesy it was returned to the dazed, clingrlned peda gogue. Prof. Wigstle silently -csolml that venginnce should be his; tint this sheep and he could not live peace fully together in Virginia City. He thought of shooting the benst no. that could not be; for Ihe handling of pistols alarmed him as much as his wielding of a strap terrified the schol ors. "Poison! I'll lny It in my garden, leave the gate open and Woolly's appe tite will do the rest." That evening the professor snw the undaunted sheep eying his oasis-like flower-garden. "Delays are danger ous," quoted Wigstle, oroculnrly, and he quickly procured strychnin and deftly placed it here and there on the choicest planta. Owing to the dilapidated condition of the wind-tossed wig, the professor hod ordered a new crop of hnlr. The same arrived lute in the evening of this day on which Wlgstie plotted against Woolly's life. Visitors hap pened to lie at his house, and he laid the pneknge on his bureau without examining It. Mrs. Professor- a wom en, and curious opened the bundle, smiled approvingly and whispered to herself: "Dear Henry, he has at last overcome his pride for his youthful looks. Illrss his dear heart! This gray wig will lie so becoming to him." Hlie placed the wig on the stand where Henry always kept his hair, and quite forgot It In the wee early hours of morning Prof. Wigstle awoke with a stnrt. He listened apprehensively. An unusual pottering noise tilled the room. He reuched over In the dark and grabbed his wig, clapped it on his lieuil, leaped out of bed und rushed to the win, lev. He suw Circat Seolt! he mw Woolly Wisp multiplied on hundredfold ! There were sheep In his garden; she, p racing down the street; sheep scattered all ovi r the sidehill. What could it nuon? Was he dreaming? He trembled as the word "hoodoo" flushed through his mind. Pale moonbeams Mix ded every thing. They cast a ghostly :il!ur upon the sleeping, sheep-haunted city . Prof. Wigstle turned aside. A mirror stood ill the niche by the faintly illuminated window. Horror upon horrors! Ills hair his false hair had actuully turned white! It Is a wonder the man didn't go stark, staring mad. His wife tried to explain the miracles but failed utter ly. She did riploiii, though, to the trustees, why her husband could not attend to his school duties; for he van ished completely, nor wns he agulu ever heard of by Comstockers. Mrs. Wigstle languished for a few weeks in her lonely house. Heveral letters addressed to Prof. Wigstie ar rived, among which she disoovvred one from the hairdresser who supplied him with hirsute furnishings. It read like an apology; a mistake had been made; his wig was sent to another inrty,aud the other party an old man received his, the professor's, black curls. Mrs. W shook her heud, murmured something about "pour, puzzled dear" and silently wept. When a letter came, shortly after ward, she cheered up auia.lngly; bade few friends good-by, and - It was ru moredJoined her hutUiaud, who ouine to his senses, but could not muster up enough courage to romevback to the scenes of bis mortifying experiences with WooUy Wisp. Woolly, fickle creature, deserted his happy home and wandered off with the flock of sheep that passed through Vir ginia's streets on the night of Wig stie's hallucinations. Not knowing what became of Prof. Wigstie, we cannot say whether WooUy persisted In being his "hoo- loo. or whether, which is more likely. he went the way of till ordinary inut-ton-sheep.
