Synopsis: "The Diamond Master (1909; exp as coll with "The Haunted Bell" {...} circa 1912), which is sf, revolves melodramatically around the Invention of the artificial manufacture of diamonds, and the inventor's plan to capitalize on this by inviting established diamond magnates to pay a huge sum to suppress this invention rather than see their market flooded with cheap but perfect diamonds; the added novella is a partly rationalized supernatural tale involving Van Dusen."
