The first set of absolute value bars evaluates to 14, since the absolute value of 14 is 14. The second set of absolute value bars evaluates to 1, since the absolute value of -1 is 1. So the expression simplifies to $|14-1|$ which is equal to $|13|$. Since the absolute value of 13 is 13, the final answer is $\boxed{	extbf{(C)}\ 13}$.
