Honeyhall recently was found living in penury, shaggy, unkempt, aged, the wreck of a man who I gained a world and lost it, the living It roof a stranger and more lantastlc tale than novelists ever told. But he has no regrets, no resentments, no 111-feelings and but one explanation for the turn lit his fortune: "It s all in the game.” It was n arly 50 years ago that j Londoners were startled by the amaz.lng n -ws from Africa that a {rich gold deposit, the richest yet, had been discovered by four men in the bleak ravines of the Transvaal. Stoties of untold wealth began to be heard and before many months men from all corners of the world began to sift In to the Transvaal and to join in the hunt for that precious yellow dust which Hood in his poetry described us. “Gold, gold, gold.

And deservedly, for with Ills i three companions Honeyball prospected In the wild ravines and 1 baboon infested plaines, searching ’ by day and searching by night under the yellow African moon which overhangs Northern Transaals. i For months on end they braved everything human b> Ing can brave! hunger, fever, loneliness, wild I beasts, the torrid heat of the days ■ and the Intense, penetrating cold ; ot the nights.

Gold, conglomerate i beds of it, were found, in u coun- • try which the prospectors could • have bought for a song.

How he lost his untold wealth is not known and Honeyball will not tell. He prefers not to discuss the matters. And then men who were associated with him in the dim past either havt’ foigotten him or IfaVe died sine . One of them, Frederick Struh’ii, now 80 years old, is living a retired life in Devonshire, England. When he was asked about Honeyball recently he said: "I cannot recall, except in a vagui way. the name of th man. Forty-six .years |s a long time. But to my recollection it is not correct to say he was one of the first four liscoveters of the gold reef.” Honeyban bears no ill-feeling for anyone and probably do s not even care whether he is given credit for being among the first pioneers. Honeyball long had b<v n thought dead. When he was found he recounted how with Struben and the other pioneers he beat the quartz in an old tin can to extract gold —in the long, long ago, before modern mining machinery ever was heard of in Africa. —o Buy a Poppy Saturday During the World War poppi. s 'grew in profusion upon the gaves ' in France and because of this became a symbol for soldier dead. An overseas worker wore one of tn • little flowers in honor of a fallen comrad. The idea was later taken up by patriotic American women. Today It is a custom well established to wear a poppy on Memorial Day out of respect for those who gave their blood for the preser.ation of American pt ogress. Disabled veterans are employed to make these little flowers. Wo- >. e:t of the patriotic or,let’s distr 1I ate them for the lapels and thus poppy day serve three purposes.
