There was Don Hardin now, who run a sheep ranch in west Texas in 1881; ho could shoot." "Protty good shot, was he?" asked tho boysf to draw the old man ont. "Wall, he'was'a good, fuir shot for thorn times and locality. A (Jolt's 46 was! Dan's favorito, He runabontO.OOO shocp nnd good many outtlo and horsos. The ranciiors all marked tho oars of their stock, each man in a dif ferent way, to distinguish thoir proper ty.1 Dan's mark was a nolo in tho loft ear and an nndorbit in tho right, nnd ho never allowed n knife to bo used on his ranch. He marked every animal himsolf with his six shooter, and ho never madou mistake. It wns a sight to see him gallopiu across tho prairie on his mustang after a buuoh of lambs Or a ronnd up of spring culves, a-plaoin his marks with his 45 and never vaxyin a sixteenth of an inch from whore thoy belonged. Ban marked moro mavorioks than anybody else in tho country put together. "from praotioin so much Ban got to be a first rate shot Ho awed to ride aloug in his pasture and put his murk on tbo coyotes and jack rabbits just to keep his band in. It got so that nine times ont of ten when a man killed a deor with his winoheater ho would And a holo in ltd left and an under bit in its right oar, and boM always soud Ban ovbr a quarter of veuiHon wbon'he got it homo. I soen Dan win a bet of $50 one day from u tenderfoot. Wo was ridin along the roud ancL.wo soch tho gronnd a-humpiu up where a.molo was shovin along out of. sight under tho earth, Ban mndo his proposition, tho tondorfoot took him up, and Dan's old 45 wont off a couplo of Mined. Wo.dug tho mole up, and thoro was tho marks in ins ears right where they belonged. After awhilo I don't think thoro was a living thing on Dun's ranch except bis wifo's that didn't Imvo his mark in its ears. "This habit of Dan's got him out of A'pretty bad scrape ono timo. Along about 1883, when froo range o'ommouced gottin soaroe, tho fence out tors got to oattin tho wiro fencos around tho pas- taros^aud givo tbo shoop mon lots of trouble. Ban's had boon out half a doKon times, und ho was mad. Ono day ho rode out without his gun nnd snw a low down rustle* named Tompkins slloln his wires liko fiddlostrlngs with a pair of nippers. Tompkins got on his hot-so &nd let out, nnd Ban rodo baok to his ranch and got his gun. Ho struok out on Tompkins* trail and overhauled him nboufc turndown in tho little town that was tho county soat. Dan shot him quietly and was about to got n cup of coffoo and start book homo wbon ho wan eurpriHod by tho sheriff's urrcstin him. You hoo, that was about tho timo tho law and ordor gang got to raisin Gain in"tho wost nnd tryin to set down on promiHonous -shootin and porsonal liberty. Tlioy soared up a judgo and a jury Homoworo and bolda kind of court right nwny to try Dan. Tompkins had a lot of ftiondH iu town, among the hoas thiovoH and frtio grassors, nnd thoy <ynno in by tho dozou and Wore that TompkinH hadn't beau out of town for a wook, and thrt Dnn'a story about Ids outtin tho fonco didn't go. Ban hod no witnesses, and it bogim to look kind of funny for him. Thoy hud Tompkins laid onfc on u tabic in tho oourtroom. "Directly Dan wont ovor and looked pretty sharp at Tompkins, and then he naked ono of tho doputios to go out to a IHtlo jowolrxatoro noross tlio stroot and briug.a magnifying glass; Tho deputy wont nud got it, und Bail handed it to tbo jartgo and naked him to stop down nnd look at ttomothing u miimto.
