The Challenge of the Yukon. And Kane! Unyor Huskies! A Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, places the prayer through storm and snow for St. Preston, as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon.

Sergeant Preston was typical of small band of Northwest-Mouted Police, who preserved law and murder 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.

Young Jimmy Perry and his friends, Squid Andrews, strode to the new fallen snow that covered the ground near the town of Selker. Jim's red-arish terrier rusty, braced along with them, leaping through the white drifts like a red corpus.

As the small boys neared some tall ridges covered with ice, squint stock. What do you say we play? We're climbing the Alps again today. I told mom and pop about it, and they said we'd better not try it anymore.

We might slip and break a leg or fall down a crevice. What crevice? There ain't any crevices around here. Well, there could be. I betcha went and made up one of your tall stories again.

I suppose you told him we were climbing mountains a thousand feet high and jumping over cracks twenty feet wide Well, don't sound like much to say we just went crawling around that little ridge I don't see why you can't tell things the way they really happen You can't tell about catching a rabbit without sounding as if it was a grizzly

Mom says it has something to do with imagination. Oh, I wish you'd use it in the right place I suppose we won't be able to play Alps anymore Hey look, you lost these care of a rabbit Come on, I bet it catches it.
