In a court inquiry, Jack Irons Jr narrates a whispered plan involving a British officer with a white flag proposing a prisoner exchange. General Arnold may attend a conference while Margaret Hale and Miss Porie become involved with Arnold’s circle.
Fragmented narrative traces Major Andre and Benedict Arnold’s treason, detailing the shipping of plans via an adjutant general and the perilous crossing, with Arnold’s aim to strike in New York. A tense encounter with local militiamen unfolds as Andre and a disguise seek passage toward British lines amid patrols and deception.
The piece rails against slow progress on child labor reform before adopting an amendment, noting the broader fight for childhood rights. It then covers Hiram Johnson's vigorous campaign in South Dakota during the Republican presidential primary, where Coolidge faced organizational hurdles and Johnson’s stance is weighed against expected convention strength.
A disguised British officer named John Anderson is challenged by rugged New England skinners near the Hudson after attempting to pass as a Yankee farmer. They search him, seize papers proving Arnold’s perfidy, and hand him over to Colonel Jameson. The men act as patriots, not plunderers, denying a sale of the United States.
In chapter XXIX Solomon's Last Fight, Jack learns Henry Thornhill's reassuring river news while Margaret and her mother visit Arnold's house. Solomon Binkus confronts danger aboard a British ship as Arnold betrays America. Washington discovers the trove of treachery, and Solomon is gravely wounded while saving Washington's cause. Margaret cares for Solomon as he dies, and Jack mourns with General Washington, who honors Solomon's sacrifice.
