This diamond is such a wonderful imitation that even experts cannot tell it from the genuine article and the leading jewelers of the city, Tiffany and Co., are fooled completely. The son is so overjoyed and excited at their crowning success that his heart is affected and he dies. He is the master workman of the two and had been the one who turned out the imitation diamond. Fifteen years later his daughter, who has grown into beautiful womanhood, is engaged to Wynne Browning. All through the years she had kept her father's secret locked in her breast, though vowing constantly to avenge the death caused by his services to science, by making the world pay. She tells her sweetheart of her vow. They leave for the city to see what they can do toward disposing of it for ready cash. Some means of communication must be established with Doris's grandfather, and they hit upon the idea of using carrier pigeons. They then go to Tiffany and Co., the famous jewelers, and tell them that if they are willing to deposit to their account ten million dollars the source of the fake diamond supply will be immediately destroyed. Wynne and Doris say that if this is snot agreed to they will flood the market with spurious diamonds. The company objects strongly to paying the enormous price and engages a famous detective to trail Doris and her sweetheart. After watching them for a long time the detective is only able to discover their means of communication. At length one of the sleuth's men arrests an old tramp and on searching him discovers a number of the imitation stones. The third degree is resorted to and the crook confesses that the stones were given to him by an old man in Coalesdales, which is the retreat of Doris's grandfather and his workshop. In reality the thief had stolen them from the old man and, caught in the act, had murdered him. The detective immediately takes up the trail and goes to Coalesdales, where he at length locates the machinery for the manufacture of the fake diamonds. He reports to Tiffany and Co. his discovery. After consideration the jewelers decide that it is much better to settle with the girl, and a letter to this effect enclosing certified cheek is sent by them. Shortly after Doris and Wynne are married and the secret which would have revolutionized the diamond industry and created a panic among jewelers remained forever untold by the inventor's daughter.
