Excerpt from Sword and Pen, or a Young War Correspondent's Adventures "Stanley, you are a lucky dog." "What is up now, Mr. Burnett?" "The old man wishes to see you at once." "Well, " I laughed, "I hardly see how such a summons should cause you to say that I am a fortunate canine, as it were. In fact, I am afraid it means just the opposite. No doubt Mr. Parker has a severe lecture in store for me." "Is that so? Well, I only wish I were in your place, that's all, " and my companion gave me an unmistakably envious glance. This piqued my curiosity. That something out of the common was impending was plainly evident. Mr. Jared Parker, managing editor of a certain well-known New York daily, and president of the newly organized Consolidated Press Association of the United States, was not the man to communicate with his subordinates unless he had something of great importance in hand. Added to this was the fact that he had actually sent his private secretary to the reporters' room to request my presence without delay.
