sergeant Preston and his famous dog Yukon king approached the small mill town caribou where their friend and fellow mountie constable bill warn live with his wife best as they entered the village king suddenly bristled and growled as he crowded close to sergeant Preston some other king then the mountie saw a giant husky approaching slowly deliberately with things paired for ready king stand your ground cage was poised and ready sergeant Preston stepped aside to give him room to meet the other then the strange dog charged instead of meeting a rush king dodged aside the flash past him then turned and charged again once more king leap aside time after time the strange dog tried to close in but king refused to come to grips he leaped and dodged and sidestepped to avoid the reaching fangs and all the while he drew back farther from the crowd then king the champion of the Yukon turned and ran he raced away with a giant husky in pursuit king come back here boy looks like your dog turned yellow well Preston don't feel too bad about it that big husky has already killed two daughters that's right he's a killer king was not afraid not much i reckon everybody meets his equal or his master sometime even dog sergeant Preston made no reply to the jibes that were being hurled at him from all sides he turned on his heels and started down the street toward the constable's office where he knew he would find his friend to bill warn as the crowd began to break up a small man who would remain in the background turned and hurriedly made his way to a small cabin that stood apart from the other buildings on the street a heavy set man looked up from a newspaper joe's all the yelling going on down the street that means he dog yours was the cause of it spike what did you kill another dog not yet but sam he's got us into plenty of trouble how do you mean joe he tried to pick a fight for the dog that belongs to a marty named Preston sergeant Preston his dog king yeah when it president king had a few minutes ago spike went for king as soon as they arrived a little man told about the incident as briefly as possible sam looked amused and then began to chuckle so spike ran you can king out of town huh i can't help but laugh away that money's bragged about his dog he just never run into spike before sam it's not funny it means he's got to get out of town and get out quick wait a minute joe don't get excited that money's only on patrol he don't know we were the ones who robbed the assay offs and white horse how do you know he don't how could he know now we just stay hold up here in this cabin till he moves on maybe tomorrow we'll be safe i'd agree with you sam if it wasn't for that dog of yours what spike got to do with it to begin with spike killed two dogs within an hour after we hit town yesterday i paid off their owners paid the constable who came down here and told you to keep spike change i chained him must have busted loose we can prove it if it's college snap i know i know but sam Preston's not going to like it getting his dog chased out of town maybe killed when the constable tells him about spike killing the mother two dogs Preston's coming down here to talk to us i see what you mean i don't want him getting a look at me we've got to get out of town and now right away all right joe we'll leave as soon as spike gets back sam this is a good chance to get rid of that dog one of these days he'll turn on us maybe killed one or both of us why don't you leave joe where i go spike goes we've argued this out before i don't want to hear any more about getting rid of spike you hear me okay okay you win spike goes let's get our packs ready to pull out when he shows up meanwhile sergeant Preston had arrived at the constable's office and told bill warden what had happened the constable's anger flare that settles it sergeant i'm going down there and destroy that dog he's a menace that's so fast bill what he may have killed king by this time you haven't much faith in king's ability to take care of himself have you turned tail and ran he must have been afraid of that other king was not afraid and why didn't he stand and fight i can't answer that bill but he had a reason he'll soon show up all i've got to say is i'm glad it's not one of my dogs i'd not feel as good as you do about it how do you know that big husky you said he's a menace well he hit yesterday with a couple of fellas who hold up in a cabin down by the mill within an hour the blue to kill two dogs he is bad why is he running loose he shouldn't be i told those men to put him on a chain or i'd have to destroy him and they did chain him up i checked on that late yesterday and he must have broken loose he's big enough and strong enough so that's why i'm in favor of shooting him i gave them warning hey i told you king would show up hello there fella i was expecting you come on in tell us what happened doing his level best to tell you he sure is the constable had you dead and buried king i'll lay off sergeant you'll have him disliking me now let me take a look at you boy let's see how badly beaten you are but there's not a hair out of place on him that big husky never got near him king was the first time you ever ran from a fight wonder why you did it wish i could understand you fella i'm still in favor of going down there and shooting that husky he's a killer no bill not yet if the owner is another warning to keep him changing all right i don't see the sense of it it's a matter of pride with me bill pride yes if you destroyed that dog now the whole town would say it was because i ordered you to do it i don't care what they say i do before i leave town i'm going to find out why king went from him i don't see how you'll do it sergeant how about putting king in me up at your house tonight we haven't had a home cooked meal in a month have a king best and i'd be mad if you didn't stay with us in fact i i told her a few days ago it was time for you and king to come through on patrol she said to tell you not to stop at the tavern but you got guns by the way it sits almost supper time right now let's close shop and get home all right i has routine police matters to go over would you but we can do that after sure sure there's plenty of time for that let's go king meanwhile in the little cabin at the edge of town the owners of spike made up their packs by the flickering light of a candle they're just finished when there's a scratching on the door there's spike now let him in joe while i get my pack on hey what's the matter with take a look at him he's slobbering all over and growling yeah come here spike let me take a look at you and that dog chew you up where is he joe i've slammed the door he's inside the cabin he's inside the

mount he brought a sheaf of official papers from his pack and spread them on the living room table now to go over those routine matters i spoke of bill every couple of circulars have been wanted by the department safe lawyers and dangerous i see i'll tack them up on the bulletin board tomorrow uh joe dunn sam fisher just a minute sergeant what is it i know these men are right here in town you sure of course i am they're the owners of the dog the jump king this afternoon well that means you and i have a job to do you better do sergeant we'll kill two birds with one stone not only bring them in but also that husky that's right now i'll get our partners snowing out and getting colder by the second i'll get a lantern we may need it yes king you're going along come on fella either way sergeant yes bill here's your parking thanks in view of what happened today don't you think it might be best if king didn't go no bill king's going along he runs a second time i'll be surprised it took but a few minutes to cover the distance to the cabin at the edge of town the two officers saw that no light glowed through the windows except nobody's home no light inside perhaps we should have looked in at the cabin on the way here they may be there it's so they may have gone a bit early that's possible i'll lock on the door and see it's matter of honor blocking your way don't be afraid king that dog's not in there slaying and yet whining pleadingly king placed himself squarely between sergeant preston and the door of the cabin when constable warn attempted to reach the door king had receptive him finally sergeant preston said grab him by the collar and hold on tight bill i'm going to kick that door open kick it open sergeant right king's afraid of an ambush sergeant he may be laying for you in there i'll be careful cover me as i go in right king struggled frantically but constable warn held the collar and iron like grip as sergeant preston a six gun in one hand and the lantern in the other slowly entered the darkened cabin second seemed like ours to constable warn when sergeant preston neither called nor returned to the cabin door he was about to call out when he heard the sergeant's voice hang on the king bill you must not come in here i'll try to sergeant hurry i can't hold him much longer a few seconds later sergeant preston emerged into the open and closed the door behind him easy now i'm all right now i know how you ran away from spiky do what did you find in there i found a dead dog big husky yes the same one now we've got to get king to a doctor i don't understand bill that dog died within the last two hours i think he died of rabies holy smoke he may have bitten king today even scratched him as possible king knew was mad and he let him away from me from everyone that's why he ran it wasn't cowardice good boy king we'll take care of you king gets rabies he won't forget him right to a doctor there's no doctor in caribou doc quinchessa lives in pineville that's the next camp and it's 15 miles from here and the weather's getting bad yes i know there's a telegraph line connecting caribou with pineville doc's got a fast dog team i'll wear him to start it once and meet us at the cabin which is about halfway that'll save time i hope he's there he mentioned something about going to dawson the last time i saw him while i telegraph doc winchester you take a look through town for joe dunn and sam fisher however from the appearance of the cabin i suspect they've gone let's move fast bill monkey i'll meet you at the telegraph the snow which is started early in the evening became brittle and the temperature dropped and the stiff wind increased by the time joe dunn and sam fisher had covered half the distance to pineville both were frozen and they considered it great luck when they found an abandoned cabin beside the trail soon they had a roaring fire going in the stone and the cabin was warm and snug the men were tired despite sam's need for medical attention both men were reluctant to give up the warm comfort and face the blizzard again that night you know sam might be a good idea if we stay here tonight went to pineville come sun up yeah i'd like to all right joe but i've got to get to a doctor the sooner the better it wouldn't be so bad if we had a dog team breaking trail for us but bucking that snow is a tough job especially with the wind against joe i've got to get to pineville hey listen dog team coming this way to go out the candidature no you fool the driver that team's already seen it it gets suspicious maybe it's a mommy no it's not him this team's coming from the direction of pineville he's stopping the team here he is now take it easy sam here's where we get a dog team yeah yeah i get you joe right now let me handle this oh well sergeant i say you can expect you and the constable to meet me here come on in oh i guess i i made a mistake i was expecting to meet someone else i thought so when you busted in like that who'd you say it was sergeant president and constable warned from caribou i saw the light in the wind and thought they'd arrived ahead of me i didn't see how it was possible you know i've got one of the fastest dog teams in the north why do you say so myself you have a well ain't that nice joe hey mister you're all bloody what happened to you tell them joe yeah oh well joe looks like we fixed the stranger and got ourselves a dog team yeah we got one and if he's not talking through his head it's one of the best now we've got to get out of here quick you heard what he said about pressin and the constable somebody must have seen his head south out of town yeah but i can't figure out what this guy had to do with it maybe he's a constable want to search him now we have in time now come on let's go i see it i knew doc could be this hero that dog team of a glad this is as far as we go tonight i've had enough of this weather bill yes i'm no dog team here well i'll be switched well maybe doc decided to travel on skis perhaps well here we are come on king bill look on the floor it's dark yes it's dark all right and head on the head is he dead can't tell you help me hold him over right meanwhile joe done and sam fisher by pushing the dog team to its utmost each pineville in less than an hour making inquiry from a passing lumberjack they learned the whereabouts of dr winchester's house repeated knocks at the door awakened the doctor's house servant oh yes we've got to see the dark wake him up it's a case of life or death doctor not here he got a long time back tomorrow maybe cut out the stalling this is serious we've got to see him but doctor not here he go to caribou tonight caribou did you say caribou yes he go to caribou sergeant pleston send telegram doctor go now just a minute let's get this straight just what did sergeant Preston want for the dark sergeant pleston say in telegram mad dog by king king name of sergeant pleston the dog dr winchester take serum cure bite of mad dog okay you're telling the truth so sorry doctor not here good night that guy you slug was the doctor joe yeah you're right come on sam we're heading back to that the mounting console worn i said he was expecting to meet him at the cabin i know that don't take care of them when we get there off your huskies back in the cabin on the trail doc winchester had revived under first aid administered by sergeant preston and constable warn when he had told his story he called the great dog king to him and carefully inch by inch went over him his deft fingers separating the thick coat of fur to expose the dog's skin finally he potted king on the head and then looked at the officers he hasn't been touched there's not so much as a scratch on him just as a precaution don't you think he'd better be given treatment doc well i don't think it necessary sergeant but even if it were necessary i couldn't you couldn't no you see the case with a serum in it was on my sled the thugs took it when they slugged me and stole my dog team and i might add that's the only serum between here and Dawson 200 miles sergeant you say you think those two fellas are the ones who want the dog to chase king out of town hold out of it doc description you give them identical they're the same ones all right they must have known sergeant preston and king had been on their trail then uh i think one of them is for some trouble how do you mean you said the dog was found dead in the cabin and things were upset that's why the dog must have jumped the big man before he died all makes you think so doc well a big fella had a cloth wrapped around one hand and blood on his parka and that's why the cabin was upset they must have had a fight with the dog the dog had been left in the cabin it looks like a case of the irony of justice that man will develop hydrophobia and on the sled he stole is a serum that could have cured him but he'll never know it he'll die a horrible death joe and sam were almost exhausted when they came within view of the lighted cabin on the trail but they found new strength and a realization their search for the doctor was nearly at an end i hope them dogs don't start yapping they won't after the workout they've had they'll stop on their tracks and sleep at the first opportunity i'm given that opportunity right now oh there are you kidding i'll leave them here in the traces yeah come on before the rest of the way to that cabin without you got your gun handy right we're going to have trouble when we get there sam i'm geared for it careful be quiet it better take a look through the window first and see what the situation is keep your voice down come on let's get closer and there's constable bill warn the other man's the doctor i guess that crack of the head didn't hurt him very much he's the gent i want to see now listen joe here's what you do you stand right here by this window there's no point staying here it's not much more than an airhole i could get through that window you could shoot through it but i'm going in through the door savvy yeah i'm holding a gun on those three and telling the doc what he's to do for me the sudden move by any one of them three in the room you open fire to kill we're taking no chances shoot fast and shoot to kill except of course the doc you hurt him before he's taking care of
