humOr besides, with an addition in the
shape of a disappointment in Joram
she had been trying for q long time 10
stave off.
At the end Of a week he gave her $40
and told her that he could not spare
another cent.
You must remember, Susan Ann"
he said, that amt millionaire. And
even if 1 was 1 wouldn't encourage ex-
travagance in q woman. It's born In
'em anyway, and II they git half
chance with money they never know
when to stop letting 60"
Three months after this lecture from
Joram, she got another when the neces-
sites Of the case drove her 20 him to
get pair of shoes.
Then Susan Ann sat down to think
over the situation, and it is safe to say
that she did some very tall thinking.
Some women might have wept, but
Susan Ann was no weeper. If she had
tears to shed, she did not intend to shed
them in q cause of this kind Some
thing harder than tears was the remedy
and Susan Ann was not long in getting
ut it.
That night at supper Joram didn't
like the coffee. 1t was more like beans,
he said, but Susan Ann hadn't much to
say, and Joram thought she was sullen
because he had talked judiciously to
her on the subject Of extravaganza
The bad coffee continued n week and
then Joram noticed that the meat was
not as good nor was the bread, as it
had once been. He complained, but
Susan Ann hadn't much TO say
On the following Sunday when they
started out to church Joram thought
Susan Ann was sight to behold, but
he didn't say anything for fear she
might come back at him about the dress
and the shoes.
1t was the first time since they had
been married that Joram had not felt
n pride in the appearance Of Mrs. Mel
lumS and it made him think just lit
tie. On the way home he spoke OF 1T
and suggested that as he had made a
little something on wheat the week be-
fore maybe he could let her have that
money for a new dress
Indeed, no, Joram," she replied. at
don't want 1t. l only thought did. l
can get along just as we'll with what 1
have at present and we can save that.
Every little counts, you know, Joram,
and we are too poor 10 so to needless
expense"
He insisted mildly that she should
fGEa tho rnpDoV b1f it y-aC not diffipI1It
for her to convince him that il was ex-
travagant, and he said no more about it.
The dark bread and the weak coffee
and the bad meat continued and there
were added other things less attractive
to the palate than formerly, and one
did not use the meat in the smoke
house that he knew was as good as any
that had ever been cured, and he prided
himself on curing meat, she surprised
him by putting quite sum of money
down by his plate and telling him she
had sold it for good price because
she thought It was more economical to
eat less expensive meat. Joram began
to talk, but she was so pleasant and
practical in her arguments that he had
mt the heart to argue and gave up to
her.
He also put the money In his pocket
One day when he went into town on
his wagon some boys made remarks
about the clothes he wore and when he
told Susan Ann about it and said may
be he had ought to get something better,

she flew ali to pieces and gave the
naughty boys such raking over that
Joram was sorry be had said anything
about it, and went on wearing the same
old clothes.
A dozen or more times during that
winter Joram sat shivering before a
miserable fire because Susan Ann in
sisted that fuel was too expensive,
and that they must save until they had
plenty to indulge In Injuries on.
Day by day the table became poorer
and poorer; the good china was put
away and the old cracked kind brought
out; the little silver things that had
been given them for wedding presents
were locked up, and Susan Ann was

FROM THE FIRTH WHEEL.
Fatal Fall of Rigger James Balm at
the Park.
While the Mechanism Was Being Removed
a Beam Slipped The Victims
Daring Record.

James Balm, rigger, fell from the Firth
wheel at the Midwinter Fair grounds
yesterday and was killed
Balm was walking across the wheel on a
beam when the fiimsy structure swayed in
the wind and precipitated him upon pile
of debris thirty feet below. He was re-
moved to Cooper's Hotel at Eighth avenue
and d street, where he died shortly after
ward.
There was no more self-confident nor
daring rigger in San Francisco than Balm.
At one time, when terrific storm threat
ened the big search-light of the electric
tower, he bravely climbed the iron web
and at imminent risk of life dashed down
securely the great reflector. He performed
a great deal of the work on finals of the
fair. Much of the Firth wheel was put to-
gether by him, and he was chosen to take
it down for removal to Sutro Heights. His
work yesterday consisted of marking GER
tain parts with paint to guide mechanics
in taking the wheel asunder.
Balm was middle-aged man and lived
with his family at Twenty-fourth and Cas-
trO streets,
