Albert Duran spent his days in an almost hopeless effort to discover a process for manufacturing artificial diamonds. Louise Bernard visited often at the Duran household and in time grew to love Albert, who, immersed in his studies, gave her but little attention. One day Albert realized his dream. He produced a perfect artificial diamond and quickly spread the news to Louise and her mother, and then, taking what immediate funds he possessed, left suddenly for America in the hope of finding capital for his new enterprise. By a fatal coincidence, that night a diamond necklace of great value, belonging to Madame Bernard was stolen. A celebrated detective was commissioned to find the thief and learning that Albert had been in the home of the Bernards the night of the robbery, he went immediately to Albert's home and there found a single diamond. With this scant clew, he embarked for America forthwith and soon obtained track of Albert. Meanwhile, the inexperienced Albert feel into the hands of DeRenti, an unscrupulous man, who realizing the splendid possibilities for a quick fortune, determined to obtain the secret of Albert's invention. The detective followed the various stages of the negotiations between Albert and DeRenti, aided by Manette, his servant. DeRenti tried to kill Albert and make away with the necessary papers. In this design he was frustrated by the detective who saved Albert in the nick of time. Albert and the detective then went back to their native land where Albert's innocence was easily proven. With the triumph of Justice, Albert soon became aware of Louise's love and responded to her affection quickly. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
