The soldiers went out, and came back in a short time with some straw, which they piled up in one corner.
The "copy" he had done for the first issue of the Daily had not been used; on this day he had been sent upon an interview and had obtained from his subject a wretched dozen words. These he had taken to the news-editor; and the news-editor had treated them and him with contempt. "But that's all he would say," poor Bill had expostulated. "All he would say!" the news-editor sneered.
