Challenge of the Yukon: Belle Brady's Gesture

The challenge of the Yukon. Of King! Of the Yukon! The other dog, King, swift and strong, is the best of all the dogs. Places 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 North West 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. The Palace Cafe in Dolphin City was owned by Belle Brady, a woman as beautiful as she was through, and beautiful women were not seen often in the Yukon in 1898.

She sat listening to a well-dressed man. The light of the oil lamp shining on her flawless skin and catching the glitter of the diamond sparkling at her throat and wrist. At intervals her eyes moved to the door of the cafe.

Sweeping over the tables where men were playing pharaoh and chuck-a-lock bore fabulous stakes. You're not listening to me. Sure, I heard what you said, Nate. I've heard that story so often I could feel it off myself.

Almost word for word. No, no. This time it's different, Beth. I tell you this claim is a riches that's ever been found on the U-Cog. If I don't turn up so much pay, dirt, it'll make your investment the best thing that ever happened to you.

What investment? Your investment in the claim. Why, with you to grub stake me, honey... No, wait a minute. You're putting the cart before the horse. I'm not grub stakeing you this time. Well, you're kidding.
