The challenge of the Yukon!! It's King, swiftest and strongest lead dog of the North country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston, of the North-West minded police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Gold. Gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the Greedy Race for Riches.

Now back to the days of the Gold Rush, when Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog king battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon. O Louis Lagarde, who ran the trading post at Moose Crossing, was loved by everyone who knew him.

He extended credit to many, and his honesty and generosity made him the most popular man in the community. Louis' big strong box where he kept his money was never empty. It wasn't overcrowded with Louis' profits, but many of his friends brought their goal to him for safekeeping when hordes of newcomers arrived after a gold strike on Bear Creek nearby. It was one evening in early

spring that Hank Nelson brought in two bags of gold dust. Oh, Hank! Yeah, all right, nice. He's nice to see you. Me? I am feeling good like always. Well, I came in for some supplies.

Oh, brought a couple of bags of dust. No, it may be good keeping for me. You soon get to be very rich man, Hank. Soon I must get bigger strong bucks for to keep all your gold, eh?

It's nice of you to keep it here for me. I'll make a trip to Dawson one these days and take it there. and take it there. Me, I don't mind keeping it. So long as you trust me. Well, I keep it in my cabin, but I'm so far from everyone.
