They were proud , too , of their young mistress , and were ready and willing to follow her anywhere , and to obey her slightest wish .

The entire population of the place was on hand to watch their departure , for word had speedily spread about the trouble at Big Draw . Men , women and children were clustered about the store , who gazed with the keenest interest as the column of relief pulled out of the village . Glen 's eyes kindled with pride and animation as she turned and waved them a cheery good-by .
