in the midst of the powerful influences whlch
were steadily at work to rob him of the last YES
tiges of that political status which his father had
bequeathed to him. The rulers of Europe were all
interested in keeping him from poaching in their
preserves Even those whose thrones were never
likely to be menaced by any intrigues Of his

Hence the spoliation of the unfortunate youth at
Vienna, while his mother made the feeblest at

the course of education through which the duke
was driven by Metternich, his mother looking on
as though the two were strangers She was too
selfish to worry about his being deprived of his
birthright He too completely in the hands
of destiny to know how to so much as begin
to break through the net surrounding him. The
spectacle presented by his life at the court Of
the Hapsburgs, life that was practically an i'm

duke died Of consumption the ravages Of which
NAV easily have been accelerated by his own
careIessness and he is pretty certain that there

Beyond the moon and the day star.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8. 1905.

The current number of ''Longman's" is the
last of that endeared little periodical, and so
we must say goodbye to Mr.. Andrew Lang's
Inimtable notes cat the Sign Of the Ship" We
shall miss his light and airy talk about all
things under the sun, notably the Stuarts, 10iR
lore psychological mysteries and sport. A COM
mentator on the work Of the late l.. f. Aus
tin. who tried to do in the illustrated London
News something of what Mr.. Lang was dong
in "Iongman's,'' speaks of the serious difficulty
of playing the causeur He thinks Mr.. Langs
success is to be explained by the charm of his
personality HE has displayed faculty not so
much of divining and answering to the inter
ests of others as of forcing them to be inter
ested in his own pursuits and amusements
Mr.. Lang's success is better explained by the
character of his mind He has good sense and
he has humor Also he has too wide knOwl-
edge of literature to be ''taken in" by every
new fad. Living constantly among the works
of the masters, he knows how to put the prob
lem novel" in its place. to dismiss the little TN
god of the moment a Stephen Phillips or
Bernard Shaw to the intellectual tOy1and in
which such writers find their fit audience. No
one could be more amiable, more genial, but
no one could more clearly or authoritatVely
draw the line between the real thing and the
imitation. Mr.. Lang was always amusing AT
the Sign of the Ship" but he was always wise
there, too, which is perhaps one reason why he
has excited the envious sneers of many little
soul.
1t might safely be asserted, too, that one
reason why Mr. Lang has made host of
friends all over the world has been his entire
willingness to range himself on the side of the
angels. and TO stay there He is one Of the
most wholesome of modern WRITER'S a critic who
could not for the life of him strength"
where only dirt was TO be found. Thus he has
for years been the effective enemy of all the
shady stuff that has gone masqueradfng about
i'll the guise Of '1iberality," though he is no
more of a prig than was the late w e. Henley.
Has he been alone in this attitude? Well, hardly,
yet the reader has only to ask himself how
often he finds critics writing in the sweet and
healthy strain of Andrew Lang to realize the
comparative rarity of work as good and as
useful his. Writers are often afraid to be
merely honest and candid about dubious sub
iects; they dread being called provincial and
narrow. Mr.. Lang has always whistled such
fears down the wind. It has been enough for
him to know that cleanliness is, in literature
in life, virtue, and he has left the claims
of all that is dark and harmful to take care
of themselves. Is courage like that so common
after all?
