Temperance tale ends in tragedy and reform spectacle
The piece chronicles upbringing of Edward and George Benton, their Brant foster parents, and George's defiance followed by reform efforts. Edward stays studious, George repeatedly runs away, and the tale shifts to a temperance revival where George Benton pledges, later faces crime, imprisonment, and eventual alias redemption amid social pity and memorial funding for a cashier praised for honesty.
