A story constructed with Washington as the central locus, and with the web of circumstance weaving itself around Miss Nancy Newton, a rebel spy who falls into danger through the strange disappearance of an important despatch. Miss Newton, made to swear allegiance to the Confederacy by her dying father, acts as a bearer of secret information to Richmond. Loved by a Union officer, Major Robert Goddard, she finds herself in a distressing predicament upon her arrest under the double and sinister charge of treason and murder.
