"I know not, my fon," sbo replied. "Ijiit I always nn- derslood tbat soiae great danger await¬ ed your father if be relurned to Sicily, ami thiiso wore al¬ most bis last words to mo." My father, Uuliino Vincetti, ¦who had died in iny very early infancy, had been of Sicilian birtb, but my mother was English, and I bad always resiiloJ in England aud was a tbor yenrs from IMS') to ISll.'i. .\t thesame time tho nnmbor of prisoners bas in- creased from 41,877 to 54,244. Com¬ bining theso figures it appears tbat the productive value of the prisoners has fallen off almost forty per cent. This enormous diminuliun is almost wholly due to the passage of laws re¬ stricting convict labor or the sale of conviot-mado goods. Theso facts ap¬ pear in a new bulletin of the labor bureau. tbougb I took alter my father in fca lures, aud, as I could speak Italian like a native, I was ufteu takeu fur one. For a yonng man of twenty-throe to be told that bo is not to go tu a certaiu place is rather likely to send him there, us it is "doring" bim to do eo, and had I had uuy desire to go to Sicily I fear that, eveu then, my mother's repetition of my father's warning would not have provoutod mo. ifowever, I bad nothing to call me from Euglaud until, nearly four years afterwards, I visileii Italy for tho purpose of stu lying paiuting, to which art I bad devoted mvself, and ¦whatever inniression tbo warning bad made upon me at tbo time it was spoken hud tbeu fa led from my mind.

The old woman bad heard my name, I suppose, and any one wonld make up a few enig¬ matical words abunt a new moon and a danger!" We were, of course, talking in Eng¬ lish.

"Now, what were they referring to?" asked Arthur. "Depend npon it, there is more in tho old woman's warning than you think. Why should they mind a cousnl ? Because you are a British subject I They oro your ene¬ mies. Let US begone at once !" We retnrned to the hutel, engaged a conveyance to take ns to Messina, paid our reckoning, and started olT. .Just as we were driving awny the two Italians (whoso names we had ascer¬ tained from tbe botel bouk were Giiiseppo and Quilleino Ferrari) strolle.l np. It may have been our fancy, but they looked surprised at seeing ns going away, an.l tbey imme¬ diately began to talk and gesticulate one tn the otber. As we drove through tbo town the old fortuue teller's pretty granddangh- ter sprung out from souiowhere sud- .leoly and hailed the soachman, wbo palle.l np. lliiuning to the sido of the carriage, she whispered to mo : "Oraudmuthor says, 'your enemies nre npon yon. Bewore?'" .\nd she llew off and disappeared as suddenly and mysteriously as she had come upun the scene. "It is nn enigma," 1 cried. "Why should these meu wisb to do mo harm? Tboy dun't know me." "I tell ynu what it is," said Att- wooil. "I've beard ol Sioiliau ven¬ dettas, and I'll bet any money this is ouo.' Several Mood curdling tales I had read upon tbu subject occurred to me. "My mother said that some groat danger awaited my fnther if be re¬ turned here. Perhaps ho killed a re¬ lation of these fellows at some timo or tbo otber, snd tbey are seeking my life in turn," I said. "That's juat nbout it, I expect," ho rc]>liod. "I shall bo glad when wo are well out ot it." Wbon we reache.l Mossina we were half famished, anl at once went to tbe botel nt which we had jiroviouely stayed, aud had somo dinuer. Theu wo went down to the harbor to sec abunt getting tu tbo mniuland, bnt ther^was no bout wbich could take us to be bad for an hour. Leaviug our portmaulonus in the coro of tbo oinuial at tbo pier, wo strolled baok towards the town. Tbe eveuiug waa clusiug in, and as we weuded our way up tho narrow, irreg¬ ular street my companiou clutched me tightly by tbe arm. Coming towards us wero tbo two Ferraris. "Thoy muat bave folluived us from Calanio, and tboy no duubt caught sight of ns, for they turued iuto a littlo wine shop. Acting on a common impulse, wc followeil tliem and touk onr seats at another tnb'e. fhey eonveresed under their breaths fur awhile, and thon Quiseoppo, whom Attwood recognized OS tbe loser at dice, gut up and came towards na as if lo leavo tbe place. It was very dim insido the shop, and probably they had uot seen us, for as soon as bu came near us he went back and, after whispering a few words to bi-i companion, turned agoiu ond touk his departure. It was clear they ha.l boen driuking, as he reeled perceptibly when be passe.I us. Pre.-ently tiuillemu rose from bis chair an i crossed thu ruom tu tho landlord, wbom bj evidently knew, and th.^y retired to on iunor roum. Both the Ferraris wero wearing black cloaks and soft felt bats. We were limilarly dressed, except that my cloak was a ratber stylish ono, beiug of a blue color, while Attwoud's was a brown one. Tho place was nuw al¬ most in darkness, as the landlord, wbo had been preparing to lij^ht the lamps, had been interrupted by Ouillemo. "Tbu villain who has gone out will Iry to stab you, or something, oa you gu llown tu tbe boat," said Attwuud. "I have an idea! Cbango~cloakswitb me; tbe other fellow's loft his cloak hanging uver the back uf bis chair, and I'll swup Wltb bim ! ' "What guud will that do?" I oske I. 'If Quiseppe really meant mischief, he will go fur a man in a bine oluak," be replied : "dou't yon see?" "Yes," 1 said, "and kill bis o^tn brother, or whitever he is. It's worth trying, tbongh if he uuticee it there will be a ruw." "Qod bless you, Arthur," I crioJ. "Voa have saved my life!" I sbonld never bave board any moro of the matter, bnt being somewhat curious to know the rights of tbo thing, I wrute to the British consul ex¬ plaining all I knew abont it, >nd nsk¬ ing him (privately) if be had henrd anything as to tho death of Ouillemo Ferrari. Ha replied tbnt the man had been fonnd deod—stabbed in ibe back. Ibat fiuiecppc, who was bis brother, was so heart-stricken at what ho had done, that hc gave himself up to tbo author-ttes. lie stated befure tho jndge thit tbeir father had been killed iu a duel many years ago by Bubino Vincetti, that a vendeltn had been sworn, and that, recognizing mo by my name and my feotarcs as the sou of their fatber's slayer, they had de¬ termined to take my life ; tbot Duisep- I>e hod been cast to wreak vengeance npon me, but that by aome means, which heconld not explain,his brother had been weariug my clonk, on I ho had killed him by mistake. Guiseppo expressed a dosire to retire to o mou- ostery, so he was released, and wus then in a religious bouso wbich the Consul named. I need hardly add that, allliough thero wonld now probably be no dauger in it, I hove since paid heed to my father's lost wisb, and have nevor "put foot in Sicily" again. But how about tbo old fortune-tell¬ er? you osk. Ah! I oannot explain tbot.

Kighi, of Bologna, has succeeded in reprodncing artificially tbe globular form of lightning. The city of MoroeiUes, Fronoe, has jnst oompleted its drainage system on the plan uf that uf Paris, at a oost of $7,000,000. Wbon water freezes it expands with a force of 30,000 ponnds a square inch. No substance has been found wbich will withstand such a pressure. A nickel-in-tho-slot machine, whioh tukes an X-rny photograph of any ob¬ jeet you choose, for tho modi at aum of five cents hns been invented by n resident of Hertford, Coun. All tbe street railways of Mouterey bave been bought up by a local capi¬ talist, wbo will eiqnip tbum with elec¬ tricity and give the oity what, it is said, will bo the tirst electric roads m Mexico. The traction engine ia growing in popularity among English farmers, not alone for threshing, but for haul¬ ing loads and plowing. Tbe modern machines aro handsome nnd olmost noiseless, and drow thirty to fifty tons on fairly good roads. A substitute for stained gltaa ia fonnd in teotorinm, o golvonizod irou web covered witb a gelatinous sub- stanoe. ExDcrimonts bavo been made with it in Europe, and it is said to bo toagb, durable, a bad conductor of of boot, and easily mnnipnloted. The Eleolriool Engineer, Now York, describes an invention of Topley W. Young, by whioh an electrio heater lowered into dry oil-wells ia said to melt tho clogged paro'lu and other re¬ fuse which oluaes tbo openings iu tbe stouo of tbe reservoii, and to cause thereby a renewed Ilow of oil. Dio Natnr states tbat the Anstrain deep sen expoditiou under the chargu of ichthyologist, Dr. Frauz Sleindacb- nor, the Director of the lioyol Vienna Museum, hm returued. Tbo expedi¬ tion has for seven months beon en¬ gaged in explorations of tho Bed Sea on the worship Puiu. Ball-bearings, which onmo into tiee with the bicyclo wheu mnn became too lazy to oil bis machine, have been ntil- izod in many ways. Thev are now employed for wagon and oarrioge wheels, carrier-wheels of cable roads and shafts uf swift-running machinery.

Protection UPS/SPF - 50
Coldblack® finish allows the heat to be reflected unlike common dark textiles, which absorb heat, allowing the wearer to avoid overheating even during physical activity.
The focus of the Course Superleggera Jersey was to merge superlight with super breathable. At the chest, Microsens Mesh is used to create a layer of air, wick moisture, and keep you dry in warmer conditions. The main body is coldblack® Mondo which reflects heat but also has a unique ability to stretch and recover shape providing a perfect aerodynamic next-to-skin fit.
The coveted essential elements of any cyclist whose passion fringes lunacy. A cohesive blend of second skin fit, new era styling, versatile materials, and focused technology. Apparel whose conceptual advances and fabric performance through researched biological considerations. Define yourself by stepping into the psyche of a pro.

Frequently Asked Questions
Living on campus is a fun and rewarding experience. We are here to make sure your home in the residence hall is comfortable, safe and enjoyable. If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact us.
Housing Application & Assignment
When should I apply for housing?
As soon as you are admitted to WTAMU. Learn more about the application process at wtamu.edu/apply-for-housing
Can I select a roommate?
During the housing application process, you will have the opportunity to search for a roommate or select a roommate you know if they have already applied. Both roommates must select each other for the assignment to be made. We cannot guarantee that all roommate matches will be made through the initial assignment process.
When will I know my hall/room assignment?
If you are a new student/first-time resident, we notify you of hall/room assignments after June 15. Notification will be sent to your Buff email account.
Can I change my assignment once I receive it?
Due to the number of assignments that must be made and the process involved, all residents will stay in their assigned rooms until the residence halls open. You can submit the online room or hall change request form at http://wtamu.edu/housingchange http://wtamu.edu/housingchange. After the halls open, we will work with you to make room and roommate changes, as space allows.
How do I select a meal plan and is a meal plan required?
During the housing application process, you will have the opportunity to select a meal plan. Meal plans are required for all on-campus residents unless s/he meets one of the following criteria: Has reached the age of 21 prior to the first day of class each long semester. Has accumulated 45 or more credit hours (post-high school) by the first day of class each long semester.
Contracts, Fees and Payment
What happens if I decide not to attend?
To receive a complete refund, cancel your application by June 1 for the fall semester, December 15 for the spring semester, May 15 for the summer I term, and June 15 for the summer II term. All cancellations after these dates will forfeit their deposits.
How can I lower my housing and meal plan expenses?
Residence halls are priced at various levels in an effort to meet the needs of all students. Students should select halls based on what they can afford. At times a student selects a hall through the application process and is assigned to that hall before realizing that s/he does not have the finances to live in that hall. Each semester, Residential Living helps students in this situation, which might include moving the student to a less expensive hall. Students that live within a 50-mile radius of Canyon, work a significant number of hours, or have financial difficulties may be eligible to lower their meal plan to the "75 meal plan". There are options for students that may need assistance. Students with concerns related to housing or meal plan costs are encouraged to contact the Office of Residential Living.
When do I get my housing deposit back?
When you check out of the halls for the final time, you will fill out paperwork enabling you to have your deposit refunded. As long as a resident doesn't have any disciplinary holds, hasn't damaged property, checks out properly, and cancels prior to deadline, they will be refunded their housing deposit within 6-8 weeks after the cancellation request is approved.
Amenities and Hall Information
What type of security exists in the residence halls?
We make every effort to create a safe living environment for all residents. Our residence halls are equipped with an electronic card access system to provide monitored access to the halls. The card access system is in place 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students gain access to their residence hall by swiping their Buffalo Gold Card--student id card--on the card reader located outside of each building.
The University Police Department (UPD) patrols the campus 24 hours a day. Many residence halls are equipped with surveillance cameras, and our staff works closely with UPD and Operation Lock-Out Theft.
Our staff is trained to monitor and report various safety concerns. Emergency procedures are addressed each semester with the residents. Students are encouraged to lock their doors when they're away from their rooms and to report any suspicious activity to residence hall staff. Phones located outside of the residence halls act as emergency phones.
Are there laundry facilities available in the residence halls, and how much does laundry cost?
Laundry machines are located in every hall and are available for resident's personal use. Laundry cost is included in the price of housing.
Are there community kitchens in all residence halls?
Community kitchens are available in some halls; see http://wtamu.edu/student-life/residence-halls.aspx#comp_chart to compare the available amenities in each hall.
Do the community kitchens close?
Some of the community kitchens require a key, which can be checked out at the residence hall front desk. For kitchen access after hours, residents should contact their RA.
Are dishes provided in community kitchens?
All of the community kitchens have cookware available for student use. Dishes (i.e. plates, bowls, utensils) are not available in all locations, so it is recommended to bring your own.
Is landline telephone service available in the residence halls?
Telephones are available in common areas throughout each residence hall for on-campus and local phone calls. Information is provided at check in for residents who wish to have a phone line in their residence hall rooms. Residents who choose to have a phone line in their room will be responsible for a service charge separate from the room rate.
Living On Campus
Who will be in charge of the residence hall?
Each residence hall houses a Coordinator and 4-12 Resident Assistants. Coordinators are graduate or senior level students that live in the building and are responsible for the operation of the hall. The Coordinator is responsible for supervising hall staff, daily management, and advising the hall council. Resident Assistants live among the residents and are responsible for creating programming and peer counseling in their living areas. The hall staff provides assistance to students 24 hours a day.
What would I do if I got locked out of the residence halls at night?
A night duty staff member is on call Monday through Thursday nights from 9 p.m. until 8 a.m., and on weekends, a staff member is on call from 1 p.m. on Friday until 8 a.m. on Monday. Each hall has an outside phone, which enables calling the night duty number. For students requiring daytime assistance during the week, daytime desk hours vary by hall.
If I have problems in my residence hall, what should I do?
You are encouraged to contact the Resident Assistant or Coordinator in your hall. These individuals will be able to assist you. If you need additional information, you are welcome to contact the Office of Residential Living and we'll assist you in finding answers or solving problems.
What is BuffCASH?
BuffCASH is a prepaid, stored-value account that's part of your Buffalo Gold Card (your official student ID card). BuffCASH can be used on and off campus and is a convenient, cashless way to pay for meals, goods, services, and much more.
What are Dining Dollars?
Similar to BuffCASH, Dining Dollars are a prepaid, stored-value account that's part of your Buffalo Gold Card. Dining Dollars can be used in the Dining Hall, JBK Food Court, and any on-campus convenience store.
Where do I pick up my mail?
West Texas A&M University has a full-service post office in the Jack B. Kelley Student Center. All students who live on campus are issued a post office box. To contact the on-campus post office, call 806-651-2665.
In addition to the post office, most packages arriving via courier (UPS, FedEx, DHL) are delivered to the Office of Residential Living and can be picked up Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. The student must present a valid ID to sign out for the package. If the courier requests a physical address for delivery, students may use the Office of Residential Living, 2403 Russell Long Blvd., Canyon, TX 79016.
Can I have a car on campus?
Yes, you can have a car on campus. Any vehicle parked on campus is required to have a parking permit. Permits can be purchased through the Office of Parking Services, https://www.wtamu.edu/university_police/upd-parking-services.aspx.
Can I park my car on campus without a parking permit?
No, permits are required on all vehicles parked on campus 24 hours per day. For more information about parking permits, visit the Office of Parking Services website, https://www.wtamu.edu/university_police/upd-parking-services.aspx.
Can you suggest items that I should bring with me to campus? What items should I leave at home?
We've compiled a list of items that students most often bring with them to campus, as well as a list of items that are not allowed on campus. Check out the list at http://www.wtamu.edu/student-life/what-to-bring.aspx.
Rules and Policies
Am I required to live on campus?
West Texas A&M University believes that living on campus plays a critical role in your academic and developmental success. All full-time students who are under 21 years of age and who have accrued fewer than 60 post high school credit hours are required to live on campus. College credit hours earned while attending high school (dual credit, advanced placement, CLEP, etc.) are not considered.
Will housing charges be applied to my bill if I do not complete a housing application?
Yes, if you are required to live on campus and have not completed a housing application, charges will be applied to your University account. These charges will remain on your account until you complete a housing application and are assigned a residence hall or until you apply for and receive approval for an exemption. All questions related to these charges should be referred to the Office of Residential Living.
Are there exemptions to the housing requirement?
Exemption information is available at http://wtamu.edu/student-life/housing-policy.aspx. "Living with Parent" exemptions are the most common exemption and are available to students living at home within a 50-mile radius of campus. Students who fail to comply with the housing requirement will have housing pending charges placed on their account. If you anticipate applying for an exemption, please do so as early as possible to avoid processing delays and charges.
Can I stay in the halls over the holiday break?
Students are allowed to stay in the halls over some holidays. All students staying over a break need to sign up in the Office of Residential Living or at their residence hall desk. There is no charge to stay in the hall over Thanksgiving, Easter, or Spring Break. Students staying over Christmas break or between semesters will be required to pay in advance. These nights are not covered in the standard semester rate. Students should also be aware that they may be required to relocate to a designated residence hall for the duration of the break.

Loyal VETTE readers will be well accustomed to reading about the professional exploits of Corvette Racing's Johnny O'Connell, lead driver of the No. 3 C6.R. While many enthusiasts dream of racing a Corvette for a living, O'Connell has lived the dream, competing in 13 American Le Mans Series races a year for the team, including the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans every June in France. He produced Corvette Racing's first overall victory, at the '01 24 Hours of Daytona, as well as its first Le Mans class victory that same year. Perhaps most impressive, he holds the record for the most career victories (seven) at Sebring International Raceway.
With all that time behind the wheel of the C5-R and C6.R race cars, it's no surprise that O'Connell's love for the Corvette extends into his private life. "My first Corvette was my '02, which I still own today," he says. "I bought it after joining the [Corvette Racing] team, after I had the opportunity to really drive one. I fell in love with it."
O'Connell previewed the '02 Corvettes at the National Corvette Museum's Birthday Bash in Bowling Green, Ken-tucky, on April 17-20 of that year. It was there that he made the decision on how his first Corvette, a six-speed convertible, would be optioned. "I special-ordered what I wanted, having picked out the options and colors after seeing all the cars at the Birthday Bash," O'Connell recalls. "I went with Light Pewter as it was more under the radar and not flashy; it was kind of a classy, clean look."
Somewhat surprisingly, O'Connell didn't test the Corvette's upper limits when he purchased it. He gets plenty of that in the C6.R. "The first drive was nice, but I didn't pull the trigger," he laughs. "About a week after I got it, I sat in it in the garage and thought, Wow, I love this car.
But how does one go from driving the world's fastest Corvette race car to driving a production model? Was it like pushing the slow-motion button on a DVD player? "Not at all," O'Connell says. "I was completely happy with the LS1 Corvette. But like most Vette owners, I wanted to do something to jazz it up for fun."
It wasn't long before the crew of Corvette Racing learned that O'Connell had bought a Corvette of his own. Ron Helzer of Katech Engineering, the builders of the C5-R and C6.R race engines, asked if he could "jazz up" the car to Johnny O's specifications. "Ron had been begging me to let him build it some for me," O'Connell says. "That guy's an engine-tuning addict. Finally I told him yes, but that I didn't want something over the top. [I didn't want] too aggressive a cam or anything that would make it noisy and run rough at low idle."
The Katech crew left the LS1's bottom end as the factory intended, topping it with one of its proprietary head/cam packages to achieve O'Connell's output bogey. The setup consists of CNC-ported LS1 heads with 2.00/1.55-inch valves, LS6 springs, LS1 lifters, and Trend pushrods. The camshaft is a Katech Torquer LS6 unit with 204/218-degree duration, 0.551/0.551-inch lift, and a 112-degree lobe-separation angle. Extrude-honed LS1 exhaust manifolds, an SLP Blackwing CAI, Katech valve covers with coil-relocation kit, and a Katech billet belt tensioner complete what is informally known as the "Johnny O'Connell" package.
O'Connell then added a Corsa exhaust system and Michelin Pilot Sport tires to the Corvette. After that, he lowered it by cutting the rear bushings and turning down the bolts on the front. The upgrades provided him with what he was looking for in a well-behaved-but very powerful-street car.
"They did an amazing job. When you pull the trigger it's awesome, but around town the Corvette is still pleasant and not annoying," O'Connell says. "Versus the stock LS1, it's slightly cleaner feeling at slow acceleration, and not much louder. But when you pull the trigger, and especially from 4,000 rpm up, it's a completely unreal animal. The power and torque in that area greatly improved." According to Jason Harding of Katech, the car puts out 380 hp at the rear wheels.
