In the lone, vast deserts of Morocco, with his nearest neighbor more than thirty miles away, a contented hermit is passing his life.

The Arabs discover this means of communication with outside assistance and, one of the best shots of their number directs his aim at the telephone wire, with the result that he cuts it in two
