The Challenge of the Yukon. A Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest and scum only dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of a small band of Northwest-notted police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country,
with 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 Rule triumphant. Old Andy Saunders owned the richest claim in the Yukon, but years of hardship before he struck it rich, had etched deep lines in his leathery face.
Those lines, however, were softened by happiness as he sat at a corner table in the gold circle cafe. Happiness also lighted the face of a woman with envy. A little age look of discouragement and disillusionment was gone.
Rita, the cafe entertainer, looked almost as young as she had when she first came to the Yukon. Ten years ago. And this is the first real moment of happiness I've known. Oh Andy, you don't really mean what you said.
I never meant anything more. I'm sick of being a batch of real home. But Andy, you're a millionaire. You could go back to the States and have almost anything you want. I aim to stay here among more kind people, Rita, and you're my kind.
