The Challenge of the Yukon. Of the King! Of the Yukon! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo Lee 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 Northwest Modern Police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest Country, agreed 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. In the small frame building that served as a jail in Fort Mon, Jim McKenzie

had a visitor. When the guard opened the cell door, he thought there was a strange resemblance in the two men, the criminal sitting on the edge of the cot, and the tall, heavy-set prospector who'd asked to see him. It was less than a physical likeness, more a similarity in manners.

If the guard wondered about it, he dismissed the thought, though he had reason to remember it later. As soon as he was out of earshot, the two men began talking. That had happened, Jim. Tell me about it.

For that man he pressed him. But hadn't been for him and that dog of his, I'd be as free as you are, Pete. So you walked into a money, huh? Walked into him. I'd have got away from him if it hadn't meant for that much. I swung my rifle on him. We were standing about so far

from the edge of a ravine, see? Yeah. One minute that dog ate anywhere in sight, and the next minute when I just had my finger ready to squeeze the trigger, he comes tearing tortoise on the other side of that ravine. I didn't think nothing of it because that hole was a good 15 feet wide.
