For 30 years the eunuch worked in the harem of his royal mascer and he refuses to leave the spot which he considers sacred. In this ancient oriental metropolfs {for hundreds of years the powerful emir of Bokhara ruled politicaffy and spiritually over 11200,000 native ans. t impressive monument to the Uzbek's resistance to the invad- ing Ked hordes is the demolished pulace, covering two square blocks, which, standing on the summit of an artificial citadel, marks like a giant tombstone, the former glory and power of the khanate of Bokhara, One Building Lett } Amidst these moldering ruins the soviet yovernment occupies the only buildin that escaped demolition. Only a few yards distant is the throne room and court of the deposed emir, exquisitely decoracea wien oriental tiles, jasper and malachite, The aped Eunuch related the dramatic flight of the emir. when Red troops captured Bokhara, ‘The emir, he said, was sleeping serencly until awakened by rifle fir- ing in the streets of Bokhara. This wus the preiude to a desperate battie between the advancing revolutionary | forces and those loyal to the emir. ‘The rebels, superior in ‘number and better armed, soon vanquished the emir's adherents and, marching to the citadel, sought to capture the emir, and his fabulous treasures, Preparations had been made, how- ever, for such an eventuality and the potentate, hurriedly dressing and summoning his palace legionaries, escaped through a subterranean pas- sage.
