Challenge of the Yukon: A Question of Ethics

The Challenge of the Yukon. Unkind! Un-Yoh-shki! Unkind! Un-Yoh-shki! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of the Kamolid 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 Mounted Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, 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. The law-bitter winter of the North Country was a gary period

for the prospectors during the Gold Rush. For those who lived in the wilderness, there were only the routine jobs, with no place to go to pass the long evenings. It was before a rare treat to have a visitor, and especially a visitor like Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police, who brought tales of adventure to isolated souls like old Mike Daley, who

loved a story more than anyone in the world. Mike sighed contentedly as he put a match to his pipe and relaxed in his chair across from the Mountie, who sat with his big husky lead dog king beside him.

Ah, so you don't know what a pleasure it is to have you here, Sergeant. I ain't seen a soul outside of Old Jim Horton for a dog's age, and Jim and I were talked out years ago. All we do now is grunt at each other.

It's quite a lonely life you lead, Mike. You should have a dog like King. Sometimes I think dogs are as good companies, humans. Sometimes they're much better. So wonder someone doesn't try to steal them from you?
