It was a cold farewell, indeed, to the only home the girl could remember and in which she had lived for at least three-quarters of her life. But as the cab which was to take her to the railway station was about to start, Miss Trigg hurried out.
More than sixty of their number were slain, and among them were most of their officers: Colonels Todd and Trigg, Majors Harland and Bulger, Captains Gordon and M'Bride, and a son of Colonel Boone, were all among the dead. Those who had regained the other shore, not having strength to rally, started homeward in great sadness. On their way they met Colonel Logan.
There was Boone with the famous Boonsborough men, the very name of whom was a terror; there was Trigg with men just as good from Harrodsburg; there was Todd, as good as either, with the men from Lexington. More than a fourth of the whole were commissioned officers, and more fearless men never faced an enemy.

The Washington Trust Company seemed to have quite forgotten the existence of the Clark women except for the occasional appearance in the mail of an oblong letter addressed in type to Mrs. Ellen Trigg Clark, which bore in its upper left-hand corner a neat vignette of the trust building.
"We'll keep that for next committee meeting, gentlemen," said the president decisively. "Lock her up, Trigg." The three following months wrought a wonderful change in Excelsior, wonderful even in that land of rapid growth and progress.
Trigg to prepare for the great event and when she had dressed and gone down to the housekeeper's room, what was her horror to see Tom, the tabby cat, on the top of the table, ready to spring upon the cage where the unfortunate bird was.
Suppose, years and years from now, after you've finished at college, and Bob Endress has got through college, too, you should come here to see Miss Trigg, and he should come here, too, and you should meet right here walking in this path. "Wouldn't that be just like a storybook?" "Nonsense, Jen!" exclaimed Nancy, laughing. But sometimes, after all, the story books are like real life.
As we said before, it was a sad day for Kentucky, and threw the land into mourning and gloom. Colonels Todd and Trigg, and Majors Harlan and McBride, were men beloved and respected in life, and bitterly lamented in death by a long list of true-hearted friends.
Of the garrison, four were killed, and three wounded. On the 18th day, Colonel Todd, Colonel Trigg, Major Harland, and myself, speedily collected one hundred and seventy-six men, well armed, and pursued the savages. They had marched beyond the Blue Licks, to a remarkable bend of the main fork of Licking River, about forty-three miles from Lexington, where we overtook them on the 19th day.
