She has a certain natural cleverness for taking care of herself, but the toilsome way of life is very hard. She finally falls in with clever people who have mysterious money and their way seems easy. The officers of the Secret Service Department of the United States Government, however, who are always looking up mysterious money, discover that the chief "shover" in the new issue is a beautiful girl, whose simplicity is evidently preyed upon by the men higher up. The scenes show how bogus money ("greengoods") is made and distributed, not omitting the dangers that eventually befall everyone connected with such nefarious enterprise, for the sleuths of the United States Government never let up when once started in pursuit of the offender. Madge has married Tom, seemingly an ignoble member of submerged society, and is innocently working to forward the interests that she believes are honest. When the final raid is made, poor Madge, heartbroken, appears at the station, when she sees Tom and tells him that she had come to save him, but was sorry she was too late. Then it develops that Tom was the leading factor in the Secret Service Department, and has brought about the capture and conviction of one of the most daring band of counterfeiters that ever existed, and Madge has unconsciously helped the Secret Service to a culmination of their plan.
