Just once before she returned to college she went back to look at the old home, with its shutters closed and the snow-drifts on its walks. She had thought her future was to be spent there, and now where would her path be guided? "Thou knowest, Lord," she said faintly. In the soft flush of the following spring Beth returned to the parsonage at Briarsfield.
And she fell asleep with a smile on her face. The autumn passed such a gloriously happy autumn and Christmas eve had come. The snow lay white and cold on the fields and hills about Briarsfield, but in the old church all was warmth and light. A group of villagers were gathered inside, most of them from curiosity, and before the altar Arthur and Beth were standing side by side.
She was only a child when they played their little drama of love there in Briarsfield. The play was past now; he loved her as a man can love but one woman. And now a shadow crossed his face perhaps it was too late! "Clarence!" exclaimed Beth, as he advanced, "I'm glad to see you." And she held out her hand with an air of graceful dignity. "You have come back to visit Briarsfield, I suppose.
But I I always wanted to be loved and Clarence was different from other people in Briarsfield, you know, and I suppose I thought we were meant for each other." Dr. Woodburn did not answer at once. "I don't think you would have been happy with him, Beth," he said, after a little. "All has been for the best. I was afraid you didn't know what love meant when you became engaged to him.
