It was on his fourteenth birthday that Keith Burton discovered the
Great Terror, though he did not know it by that name until some
days afterward. He knew only, to his surprise and distress, that
the "Treasure Island," given to him by his father for a birthday
present, was printed in type so blurred and poor that he could
scarcely read it. He said nothing, of course. In fact he shut the
book very hastily, with a quick, sidewise look, lest his father
should see and notice the imperfection of his gift. Poor father He
would feel so bad after he had taken all that pains and spent all
that money-and for something not absolutely necessary, too And then
to get cheated like that. For, of course, he had been cheated-such
horrid print that nobody could read. But it was only a day or two
later that Keith found some more horrid print. This time it was in
his father's weekly journal that came every Saturday morning. He
found it again that night in a magazine, and yet again the next day
in the Sunday newspaper.
