OCT. FIRE PREVENTION" DAY.
Governor Ammons Asks Aid of Every
Citizen in Reducing Annual Loss
Due to Negligence.

Denver. = Governor Ammons has
designated Oct. 8 as fire prevention
day and. in proclamation, called up.
on all citizens to try to reduce losses
in Colorado by fire through removal of
materials which might cause fire and
by a careful examination of their
premises. His proclamation follows:
Proclamation.
THE losses by fire in this country,
of insured and uninsured property. to;
tai every year more than 5000 100000,
and are largely in excess of that of
any other civilized nation. This is a
loss which can be curtailed by proper
precaution. The large payments by in.
surance companies, as well as the
enormous personal loss of property
which is uninsured, is an expense
which should he decreased. The re-
duction of the fire loss would natural
ly tend to reduce the cost of insurance
and would thus be benefit to the
public.
1T is our duty as good citizens to
do all within our power to prevent
this waste and needless loss of prop
erty, and it is. therefore, the part of
wisdom to join with the people of
other states in setting aside day in
which we bring to public attention
this important duty.
The losses in Colorado by fire dur
ing the last year on which insurance
was paid were s1.O62.SS3. Inasmuch
as the cause of fire is frequently care-'
lessness. or failure to exercise due
precaution, call upon the citizens of
Colorado to set aside Oct. 9, 1914. as
day on which to give special atten-
ton to the removal from their prem
ises of all material which might cause
fire, for examination as to the safe
condition OF heating appliances, which
are frequently the cause of fire losses,
to look carefully into premises where
articles. which might produce spon-
taneous combustion, are kept, and for
the destruction of ignitable material
deposited in places where it might en-
danger property by fire.
Il further recommend that on that
day instruction be given to the pupils
in public and private schools concern
ing the exercise of care in the use of
matches and all combustible materials,
and that laborers in factories and other
places of industry be duly cautioned
on this subject.
In witness whereof | have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the great
seal of the state to be affixed at Dem

day of September. A. D.. 1914.

Immense Piece of Machinery Turned

Those who live inland. and. in fact,
all who are not fairly familiar with
the large guns used for sea coast de-
fense. can hardly appreciate the huge
size OF lathe necessary to turn and
bore them. The lathe being designed
and built by the United States Naval
Gun shop at Washington, d. c.. by the
Niles-Bement-Bond company. at the
Bement works, is the largest made.
The lathe is SO long that the prepara-
.ions for its installation include the
construction OF tunnel extending out
under a highway, as there was not
room for It between the walls OF the
shop.
The lathe bed itself is IT'S feet long
and is made in five sections. but the
total overall length, including projec-
tions at the end of the bed, brings 1t
up to 1856 feet The main portion of
the bed on which the carriages travel

width being 1Os inches. or feet, and

CHAPTER VII.
Tho Face Appears Aoaln

no race appears again.
Since late Tuesday night, Rudolph
Van Vechten's apartments in the Ken
more had reeked with iodoform, and in
various other ways their presentment
was not dissimilar to hospital ward.
The one jarring note was Barnicle,
whose cadaverousness was become SO
accentuated that he might have per-
sonified Death-or. at least. the un-
dertaker-waiting only until doctor
and nurse were through. to perform
his own peculiar and melancholy Of
fees. Barnicle never would have been
tolerated about a hospital.
Early Thursday morning Van vech-
ten had insisted to such good purpose
that he was ahAe to rise, don his
clothes and be shaved. that at eight
O'Clock he was reclining upon the dav-
enport in his llving-room. and the
nurse was out taking a much needed
airing. Such portions OF his bandaged
features as were visible were discol.
ored. and a cloth saturated with some
soothing lotion hid his swollen eyes.
All the hideous details of the cpl
Bode in the Silent House remained in
his memory like the aftermath Of
terrifying nightmare. How. late at
night, his senses had returned to him:
how he had contrived to drag his bat
tered body down the stairs, fainting
more than once with pain and weak
ness: how he had been found upon
the walk by a passing policeman. who.
recognizing him, was persuaded to
keep his mouth shut and convey him
to his rooms-each revolving particu.
lar stuck persistently in his mind.
BY which 1t might be inferred that
not the least of his present suffering
might be ascribed to nervous shock.
At the hour mentioned, he was
sleeping fitfully after a restless night.
He frequently started broad awake.
when memory invaded his slumbers.
During the period since Tuesday,
Barnicle had continued In a state of
perturbation: for he had been strictly
charged to inform all callers that his
employer was not in town. and there
had been numerous urgent telephone
calls for the young man. The bells we're
now muffied. and Barnicle was required
to lend the instrument n constant at
tentive ear, since only a faint buzz
announced a signal.
The young mans uncle. Mr.. Theo-
dore Van vechten-for whom Barnicle
entertained sentiments only of the
highest esteem and respect-had been
particularly insistent for definite in
formation concerning his nephew. even
to the extreme of threatening to come
up and wiring Barnicle's neck; which
had a further depressing effect upon
the excellent valet's spirits.

I the name OF Flint, seemed to know un-
cannily that Barnicle was lying.
Mr.. Rudolph had spared no pains to
keep his damaged condition from the
eyes of the world.
A light tap upon the outer door
broke sharply in upon Barnicle's trou-
bled reflections He cooked an ear in
that direction, and glanced uneasily at
the sleeper. who had not stirred. The
tap was repeated.
Barnicle was puzzled; he knew 1t
was no hotel employees announcement
with all of which he had reason to
be familiar-and setting aside this
explanation. there remained only one
other way by which to account for the
tapping somebody had slipped
through the office. with its guardian
Gordon of clerks. porters and bell-hops.
and come directly to Van vechten's
rooms. Such proceeding bore sim
lister import to Barnicle's mind.
For third time the tap sounded.
And then Barnicle stole into the recep-
tion-hall. with the determination of
sending the presumptuous caller about
his business. With this purpose in
mind. he did not bother to close the
living-room door behind him. and
opened the outer door barely an inch
or two-at first.
Next instant out of sheer amazement
he pulled 1t wide open.
He was confronted by the vision of
beautiful. stylishly gowned young
lady. That she really was lady in
every sense of the word. Barnicle could
not for an instant doubt. No one could
have doubted.
Excepting on the very rare occasions
when his employer entertained a few
choice friends in his rooms, ladies
were not in the habit of visiting them:
SO 1t is no wonder that he was dunn
founded. With one eye expectant for
the young lady's card. and the other
taking stock of her loveliness, he be-
gan to assure her that Mr.. Van Vech-
ten was out of the city. =
The tone in which she interrupted.
the flash of her eyes that accompanied
the words, made his mouth close like
trap.
Il know that Mr.. Van vechten IL
here" she declared positively. land
know that he Is ILL., I mean to see
him."
There was NO doubling this purpose,
either. though Barnicle essayed final
protest-a faint-hearted one. for he
remembered too late the open inner
door. and of course this mad young
lady knew he was not telling the truth.
The incident was assuming scandalous
aspects.
But Mr.. Van vechten is In no con.
dition to"
Once more she unceremoniously
checked him, this time with an ire
pressible sob of impatience and an i'm
petuous command to stand aside. He
obeyed mechanically, and the caller.
brushing by him. rushed through the
reception-hall into the living-room. and
threw herself upon her knees beside
the unconscious figure on the dayen-
port.
Barnicle had never heard tell of
anything like it: he was horrified.
But whether or not the extraordinary
occurrence was novel In Barnicle's ex-
perience, he was beginning dimly to
realize that 1t represented manifes-
1t would be dangerous for him to med
die. II the lady was SO disregardful of
a third persons presence that she
would make no effort to hide her feel
ings, then he-Barnicle-would better
be going; this was no place for =
