Challenge of the Yukon: The Lady's Locket

The challenge of the Yukon The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and 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 mounted police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country

where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge, and Justice ruled triumphant. Years before the gold rush began, there were many men in the Yukon who knew gold was to be found in the rich soil of a hitherto unknown land, inhabited by Indian tribes in a handful

of courageous white pioneers. Sam Benson and his partner Gerry O'Neill were among those pioneers. Sam had gone hunting for caribou early one morning, and in the small log cabin that was his home, his wife looked through the window, her eyes widening in terror.

They're coming here. They've never seen them like this before. They're yelling and hold the door. They've got the hands of the liquor. I'm trying to hold them. I have done. I've got to hide you.

I have to play for you, be safe. It was late that evening when Sam Benson returned to the cabin. His face or reflection of the fury and terrible fear clouding his mind as his eyes swept across the devastation the Indians had left behind them.

Mary! Mary! Sam! The Indians! They've harmed Mary and the baby out. Here she is. Mary! Mary! Get some water, Jerry. Quick, don't stand there. It's no use, Sam. That bullet went right through a heart.
