It CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANY
THING"

Evelina had to do more than earn
her bread. She had to earn money for
the interest and the payment on the
house. and the only way she could
earn it was by working for the people
about her. During the spring house
cleaning they were glad of her help,
but afterward there was almost no
call for her. She saw the possibility
of her being turned out of her house
before the winter should be over, for
the man who owned the contract was
hard-faced lawyer in town to whom
no sane person would ever look for
leniency.
All her life Evelina had leaned upon
somebody-f1rst her parents, then her
brother. Now, when she was forced

she could not ask her neighbors for
what they could not give. They had
troubles of their own. She could not
saddle hers upon them and besides her
neighbors there was nobody in the
world to whom she could turn.
To be sure, there was a second

when he had once visited them. But

Evelina Marth sat on her back door
step looking at her dead garden. 1t
was a Saturday afternoon in late No
vember, and the little house in which
she lived added no charm to the I'M
enlivened scene. Most of her life she
had lived in that house. but for a
year now she had lived alone. Her
brother had died suddenly. The week
before he died he had made the pay
ment upon the place. He had made
one each year they had lived there.
The time had come when another
must be made and Evelina could not
make it.
She was thinking about 1t as she sat
on the back doorstep and looked at
the dead garden which had yielded up
to her its little help while it could.
Evelina realized that it was going to
be long time until spring. And in
the meantime how should she live?

NEW BECKER WITNESS SECURED BY STAl
 
Jacob |. Goldman Will COrrobora
 Norris Luban'S Testimony.

New York, April 2.-The prose- tion at the second trial of Lieute ant Becker, indicted for the murr of Herman Rosenthal, will be mat ially different from the case at 8 nesses and some of the old witness will not be called again. It is pm able, it was hinted yesterday, tt Sam Schepps may not be called aga. Schepps was used as non:- complice, but the court of appeals Id he was an accomplice, and this pr tically spoiled his usefulness as la states witness.
 One of the new witnesses who ny be used is Jacob l.. Goldman, 24 ycs old, an east side salesman. Goldln has been in the district attorn's care since March 6. To repoer he said he had been hidden away d- ing the first Becker trial by Beck's agents, and had been we'll paid pr keeping silent. Goldman said ht he could tell what happened in he' Lafayette Baths one evening shoy before the murder of Rosenthal. Ie said that he heard Becker tell Ik Rose that Rosenthal must be crooked" Such testimony if it We given at the second trial of BecIr, would corroborate the testimonypf Morris Luban.
 MT. Whitman was displeased wen he learned that Goldman had g1e to newspaper office with his sty. The district attorney had expecteto keep Goldman in reserve. He hd his assistants would say nothing alut the new witness or about any ofhe other new witnesses.
 In Goldman's story as it was Ib- lished yesterday he said that he hd remained in hiding during the fst Becker trial at the home of Abraim Dolincko, 19S Eldridge street. Dolirtxo was found last night at his hde He said that he had known Gd- man for many years. He admied he had harbored Goldman duringhe Becker trial but when pressed form formation said he wanted to be lid for it. His young wife interrued him several times, and warned lm not to talk unless he were paid. r.
 Joseph A. Shay, attorney for Becker, denounced the Goldman sty. Morris Luban, he said, had foundsut that he required corroboration foHais story and had proceeded to rnSu- fracture it. a
 The Becker case will be mouedor trial on Monday, and probably HlI De put on the calendar for the trd week of this month. A special phel Of jurors will be asked for.
