Deserts Great Charm.

One great and impelling charm Of
the desert is its magnificent distances.
A mile, Or a score of miles, is nothing

borders of the domain over which the
lone observer nay claim the right to
rule. There is none to dispute his
right of possession or his claim to
temporal authority.
