I am to be at East Point all summer . This will be our grave -- yours and mine . '' That summer was a wonderful one for Freda . She had found a firm friend in Mrs. Halliday . The latter was a wealthy woman . Her husband had died a short time previously and she had no children . When she went away in the fall , Freda went with her `` to be her own little girl for always . '' Mrs. Wilson consented grudgingly to give Freda up , although she grumbled a great deal about ingratitude . Before they went they paid a farewell visit to their grave . Mrs. Halliday had arranged with some of the North Point people to keep it well attended to , but Freda cried at leaving it . `` Do n't feel badly about it , dear , '' comforted Mrs. Halliday . `` We are coming back every summer to see it . It will always be our grave . '' Freda slipped her hand into Mrs. Halliday 's and smiled up at her . `` I 'd never have found you , Aunty , if it had n't been for this grave , '' she said happily . `` I 'm so glad I adopted it . '' How Don Was Saved Will Barrie went whistling down the lane of the Locksley farm , took a short cut over a field of clover aftermath and through a sloping orchard where the trees were laden with apples , and emerged into the farmhouse yard where Curtis Locksley was sitting on a pile of logs , idly whittling at a stick . `` You look as if you had a corner in time , Curt , '' said Will . `` I call that luck , for I want you to go chestnutting up to Grier 's Hill with me . I met old Tom Grier on the road yesterday , and he told me I might go any day .
Nice old man , Tom XXXXX . ''
