Show ON APPROVAL how vilt to Grand moth er turned out to joy of both it all happened just like a story and when katherine told 0 it afterward she always eald it was the most interesting tale she could recall katherane Kather lne was 16 and when her father and mother died way down la the southern part of california there waa no one but uncle mark her fa partner to look after her at least there was no one else hut grand ma martin in new york and a grand mother who had never taken any interest in you since you were born and at that distance too could hardly be called anybody dut uncle mark decided differently you can come back here child he said and heaven knows you will be welcome your father has left a tidy fortune in my hands but I 1 think you grandmother should know all about you and have a chance to look upon you should she BO desire katherane Kather lne knew that her grandmother had disapproved of her father a and mothers marriage but she did oot ask uncle mark anything unless she soon found her former seat mate some one of the family told her she concluded she would rather not know so uncle mark wrote to the stern grandmother and told all katherine s pitiful little story and in due time same this letter in reply you may send the child on tor a visit but understand it Is only upon ip her mother displeased ma by her marriage and I 1 shall not keep the girl unless I 1 like her I 1 am glad the has plenty ot money for I 1 do not feel in any way responsible for her uncle mark and katherane Kather lne laughed li good deal over this ietter and erane called herself and declared that she did not approve of her grandmother at all and would make her visit extremely brief well uncle mark accepted the strange invitation and everything was made ready tor the hurried visit katherane Kather lne a clothing was plain but rich in texture and had a pretty old time look that neither uncle mark nor the girl herself realized katherane Kather lne waa to travel from san francisco alone and uncle mark had only been able to procure her a whole compartment on the train aa far as st louis farther on she must share it as the tide of travel from that point waa setting due east it vas a great event la the girls life conductors porters and gers were all so kind that the days flew by and were really aa interesting as could be often thought of the terrible grandmother who was to meet her la new york and won dered just how terrible she would be but the oung girl enjoyed herself very much and quite forgot the corn ing meeting then came st louis and while the train made the long stop katherane Kather lne went out upon the platform to take the air when she came back a very lady sat in her compartment dear me sighed katherane Kather lne 1 I had bulto forgotten my room mate the old lady eyed her critically 1 I suppose she smiled so sweetly that her sharp words were forgotten you are as sorry to see me aa I 1 am to be here but comfort yourself that you were fortunate enough to obtain the lower berth I 1 must gasp and tremble in the upper one not at all katherane Kather lne replied 1 I insist upon your taking the lower there was a little conversation upon this point then the two settled down aa comfortably aa could be of course on the long trip it was natural that the two should chat by the hour but it was strange that it waa tho older woman who grew confidential and the girl who became the confidant you see the old lady said one day 1 I must get to new york in time I 1 have a very unpleasant dut awaiting me there has been a dela in letters and I 1 shall only be there in time it I 1 rush right through then camo tha story ot the unloved grand daughter and the old ladya ampro abe will not be nuch a trial katherena timidly suggested I 1 am sure she will bet sighed the old lady I 1 dare say she Is dreadful all bone and muscle with a voice like a fog born and manners of the wild bear I 1 only wish ahe could be gentle and refined like well ilka you my dear katherane lne smiled prettily and looked out of the window I 1 have a great curiosity to see her the old voice went on I 1 dare say I 1 shall shudder at the memory ever after I 1 was wise enough to say I 1 would only look upon her with with the understanding that if did not uke her I 1 should send her back perhaps she may not want to stay voice had a ring in it that made the fine old lady stare abl was a new thought you know the girl went on you may beally like her but her heart may be true to those who have loved and cared tor her all these years I 1 knew one of those wild eastern girls who was really the most faithful creature I 1 ever saw that night there was a sudden awful crash as the train waa tearing on shrieks filled the air and people were hurled hither and yon surprised and shocked katherane Kather lne found herself among a lot of debris on th excited crowd pressing around and calling out orders fear ful as the collision had been there was less loss ot life than one might have expected but many were injured and great excitement prevailed fortunately katherine had escaped anything worse than a bad shaking up and with the knowledge came a desire to enow how her companion had bared she began to hunt around among the groups awaiting carriages to bear them away and soon she found her former seat mate the dear old lady wag pale and trembling and when she saw katherane Kather lne she stretched forth a welcoming hand my dear she saad my leg Is broken they are going to take me to the nearest hospital but you aro able to go ona yes whispered the girl can
