Chapter I. THE MEN THE GOBLIN GOT
MAYBE there is nothing to superstition. Maybe it just happened to be the thirteenth day of the WorldтАЩs
Fair in New York City. The Fair management spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for publicity to let
the universe know that this WorldтАЩs Fair was big, bigger, biggest. It covered more acres of ground,
offered more means of amusement, had more scientific exhibits. It was worthy of that worn-out
wordтАФcolossal.

To give some idea:

Doc SavageтАФscientific man of mystery, muscular marvel, also reported to be an amazing person in other
waysтАФwas to give a series of demonstrations of ultramodern surgical skill. Ordinarily, such an event
would have been printed on the front pages of the newspapers in the United States, and cabled abroad.
But this time, it was just a part of the WorldтАЩs Fair daily program.

Incidentally, Doc SavageтАЩs first surgical demonstration by mere chance happened to be scheduled for the
thirteenth day after the opening of the Fair, which was the day the goblin walked.

Additionally, the Doc Savage demonstration was given before a convention of surgeons and doctors
exclusively, which disappointed a lot of people who had heard that the lifework of Doc Savage was
really righting wrongs and punishing evildoers in various parts of the earth, a career that had led the Man
of Bronze, as he was sometimes called, into some fantastic adventures.
