Challenge of the Yukon: The Mute Speaks

The challenge of the Yukon On King! On your Huskies! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo League dogs, blazed 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 Monty 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 ruled triumpin.

The stern face of Inspector Grayson relaxed into one of his rare smiles, as the tall broad figure of Sergeant Preston came into his office. Beside the younger Mountie was a big grey dog that stayed close beside him and seemed to reflect his master's deep respect for the authority of the Northwest Mountie Police.

Well hello, Sergeant. I'm certainly glad to see you. Sit down, will you? Thank you, sir. I must confess I worried about you on that last assignment. It was a good job. It took longer than I figured it would, sir.

As usual, Sergeant, I'm glad to see you for two reasons. The first that you got back safely, the second, another job that only you can do. What is it, sir? Oh, this trouble and moose jaw. Five robberies and two killings.

Dolls seems rather mysterious. There are no suspects. Like every town, there's a lot of gambling going on. Three of the robberies were committed after someone had won a lot of money gambling. But the only men who knew about it have perfect alibis.

This will be a special assignment for you. Go to Moose Jaw and stay there until you solve it. Yes, sir. There. Every time I send you out on a tough case, I feel a sense of relief.
