Challenge of the Yukon: Balmy Bill

The Challenge of the Yukon. Ooooh King! Ooooh Husky! Ooooh Husky! Ooooh Husky! 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-monted 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 Rul triumphant.

Someone had named him Bommie Bill. He was as harmless and simple as a child. And the only thing that mattered to him was his dog Barnaby. It was said that before he took the job of sweeping out the silver dollar bar for his room and board, he'd been a successful prospector.

But he got lost once in a Yukon Blizzard for two weeks. And that was when his mind went blank. The summer sun had melted the last of the snow in Selkirk, and the door of the bar stood open.

Some men seated at the table noticed balmy-bill, leaning against the open door, staring out into the afternoon sunshine. Hey, look at old balmy-bill. What's wrong with it? Looks as if he's crying. Yeah. Look, tears running down his face.

Hey, Bill. Bill. Do you call him me? Yeah. What's the matter with you? Yeah, got something in your eye? No, no, nothing's in my eye. You feel bad about something, Bill? Yes. Yeah. Over time, little lady.

Hey. My dog, it's a baby. What's wrong with him? Huh? Hey. Hey, it's gone. You run away? No. Barnaby wouldn't run away. He died. Aww, that's too bad. But Bill, while he was such an old dog, he could hardly walk.
