 That night gave recital in Kiev. have al- ways liked to sing program in the last hours of the year. The old Solovtzoff Theatre was crowded, brilliant and fantastic. The audience glittered with military uniforms and evening gowns. They chat tered and laughed with a mad gayety. The very air about seemed to tremble with emotion, nerves and fever. It was darkest wartime in Rus sia- Death, defeat, crazy hope for victory, the muttering anger of the people, the deepening shadow of the revolution that in few months was to rend the country-with these life was quickened as if by evil drug, the days went like some natural vision I made my beginning and success during those strange, subtle years, whose mirth and black breeding eolored the spirit of my songs and singing To-day look back, and see that, with t.e applause had, was the singer of the twilight before the revolution. And this was New Years Eve, solemn vigil in Russia. The year past had been ghastly. And 1917? It promised to be ghastIer still. No wonder spectre of sorrow and menace prowled among the resplendent notability that filled the theatre.
 As sang I could feel the passionate response of the audience. Like Russians, they found in the seductons of music forgetfuness of the terrors of reality. I could see the deepening of smiles, the wagging of heads, the widening of eyes, and some times I would catch an exchange of glances. My program was long, but piece it moved the crowi "rhe Last Tango" did There some thing in the wildness of it, in the despair of it's dancing measures that caught the mood of the time. The audience swayed to the drunken lit of It's measures. At the last chord young man arise from front seat. I shall never forget his face It was very pale, with gaping eyes and mouth. His blond hair wet and disheveled. He wore lieutenant's uniform. He stumbled into the aisle, his tall, slender figure shaking and rushed out of the theatre. Somehow it seemed to me that should see that young officer again.
 After the recital was over my manager came to take ho7ne

 We went to Maxim's cabaret restaurant, which was one of the show places of Kiev. We got box beside the dance floor. As sat down at the table my eye strayed to adjoining box. There sat the blond lieutenant who had hurried out of the theatre. With bottle of champagne before him and an inkstand he writing and drinking as he wrote For while he did not raise his head

 He seemed to be even paler than before. l saw that his wide, blue eyes had an expression of fearful sorrow. He looked at me for a long while and then turned away with an enigmatic smile He called waiter and gave him command and some money. The waiter hastened across the floor and spoke to the leader of the orchestra, which played intermittently. After few moments the orches- tra began to play "The Last Tango"

 They now had an expression of reproach, of wistful accusation. But his ganees to me were not of love, not of some secret desire. What injury had done this pale, blond fellow? could not guess. As the music grew darker and more pas sonate in its rhythmic cadences, his glance grew more intense. Why did he look at me like that I was tempted to go and ask him. The music swirled in its last climax. Shaking violently, the young grasped his pen. He scribbled for instant, then turned his eyes again, with ex- pression terrible that l could have screamed. For moments he held those mad, blue orbs upon me-, while the music rose deriously to it's closing phrase. At the last chord the young man raised revolver swiftly and pressed it's muzzle against his. head. hideous crash the chord ceased. The young man fell forward on the table,
 Half insane, rushed out of the box and to him. Several walters had reached him already He was dead. On the table lay sheet of paper spotted with blood. On it were scrawled two lines:

 He was Lieut.. Vastly Nicolavich Ivanoff of a Siberian Cossack regiment. He had passed the previous spring in Kiev, convalescng from a wound During this time he had attended recital of mine. While had sung "The Last Tango" his glance had caught the eye of girl.

As they sat staring at each other, the dancing song to quicker revelry and into the spirit of each passionate tense- As the music closed he arose, and, moved by an unnatural bodness, went to the aisle where she sat. With fixed gaze she watched him approach. He spoke to her, and she responded willingly. In those straitened times the march of feeling rapid.
 They loved with all their desire, lived through days of hysteria, each rapurous in the presence of the other. They pledged themselves to marry. After month he had to return to his regiment, and it was not until he was in the sodden misery of the trenches that he understood how great was his attachment to her.

ERE is a song that l love, and hate. It is called "The Last Tango" A Russian composer wrote it for me, setting dark, sensrous music to q lyric telling of two lovers part ing in a dance. I sang it all over Russia, and it became popular. It helped me to my success. Since New Years Eve of 1916, I
