The story itself is public domain.
However it is legal for anyone to take a public domain work and "improve" it (e.g. making it part of a collection of works, adding comments or notes, correcting apparent typos and errors) and republish under a new copyright. But this new copyright does not make the original story by itself copyrighted, only the "improved" work by that "editor".
