Challenge of the Yukon: A Date to Remember

The Challenge of the Yukon. On King! On you husband! King, the swiftest, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston. As he meets, the Challenge of the Yukon.

Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest-modeled police, who preserved law and order in the Yukon during the Gold Rush of 98. That was the year that brought over 50,000 men swarming into the Klondike region, and the greed for gold led to frequent violence and bloodshed.

But in spite of the odds against them, the force preserved a splendid record in maintaining the right. The challenge of the North was answered, and just as Rho triumphant. The wind was cold and biting as Sergeant Preston pulled up in front of a small square building in Ogden City.

Oh King! Oh, you askies! Hi there, Sergeant Tristan! Jack! How are you? Hi! How much? You're as good to see ya. You gonna be here long? All long enough to look around. And King and I will be off again.

Are you just coming in or are you leaving? For me? Well, I'm staying in town now. At least I will be for the next couple of days. Why? I guess you didn't hear. Hear what?

Mr. Fodley. He died last week. I'm sorry to hear that, Jack. The last time I saw him, I thought he had a chance to pull through. Yeah, I figured the same way. But it wasn't in the cards, I reckon.

Dr. Atkins did all he good for him, but it didn't do much good. The cave-ins a funny thing. You can't tell how much damage is done inside a man. I plan to stop by the cabin a day or so.
