The Big Basin Waltz

Our favorite rodeo cowboy is back. When Hawkeye Starbuck stopped to water his horse at a mountain stream, a woman screamed. He ran to help her. That began a dance that waltzed them clear across the Basin. Whether it was rescuing old used-up horses that a blackhearted rancher had locked out to starve or chasing after a cry for help, he is more good-hearted than good-timin! Yet it seldom turned out how he had planned.
