Challenge of the Yukon: Edward Carson

The challenge of the Yukon. King! Of the Yukon! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Esmo 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, The great wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his one-to-dog King met that challenge.

And justice ruled triumphant. Edward Carson had been married to Stella Burns a year. It was a year that proved the skeptics wrong who'd called it an impossible match, saying Eddie would never settle down. It had been a year of thinking of someone else's happiness before his own.

It had meant sacrifices, taking a job in her father's bank because Stella wanted him to. Young Carson thought of these things as he stood before his father-in-law's desk in a prominent city bank in the United States in 1875.

Maybe you know what would mean to tell his mother if I were to be exposed in a scandal. The shock would kill her. And you know what Steller thinks of her mother. Yeah, I know. But you should have thought that before.

I should have, I guess. But the damage is then... The bag examiners will be here in a week. You've got to help me any. You can go away. Tell them what I understand. I'd tell them why you left.

All my life, I've been a prominent citizen. You'd never be able to hold her head up if the story should get out. It'd be just as bad for her, for her husband or brand new to thief.
