The ways in which evil deeds are brought to light often startle the
culprit who thought he could cunningly hide his guilt.
At a dinner-party a young lady, noticing a beautiful silver
spoon lying near her, yielded to the temptation to secrete it
at an opportune moment when no one observed her. Once securely
hidden in the folds of one of her garments, she felt herself
very clever, and had no fear of the possibility of detection.
After dinner an exhibition of the remarkable properties of
X-rays was given, and the lady was asked to subject herself
to their influence. In an unguarded moment she consented,
forgetting that those searching rays could reveal her shame.
They were focused upon her, and there, in sight of all the
party, was revealed the stolen spoon. (Text.)
