The Challenge of the Yukon. Unking! Un-U-H-S-K! Un-U-H-S-K! The Wonder Dog Kings, with just and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, places 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, 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 triumphant.

Ezra Bailey had lived in the Yukon country for many years. He was too old to work very hard, but made his living by picking up stray dogs that had been abandoned by their owners, He had debilitating them and selling them again.

Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted was very fond of dogs and liked old Ezra. He often docked at the little cabin to see the old man. It was a day leading fall and Ezra and the Monty were looking into the runway beside Ezra's cabin at an old dog with a park shepherd and a park and a melomute that was alone in the

enclosure. Yes, sir, Sergeant. He's the only dog I have left. I sold all the rest of them after I got a mat in a strong heat game. Got good homes for them too. I'm afraid you're not going to have much luck selling this one as well.

He looks as if he's on his last length. Yeah poor old father. He's been used mighty hard in his day. Sam Jenkins found him out in the woods. It was too weak to walk almost.
