How's everything with you good take off your park and sit down there close to the stove? Why thanks Jim, but I stopped only long enough to say hello aren't you going to be in town for a while? No, King and I are shoving on this afternoon. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Where is King out front waiting for me? Gosh, I can wish you were going to be around for a time Sam Baxter's been hoping to see you Sam and trouble.

Maybe you won't mind dropping these letters off for him. Oh, I'll be glad to tell him Monk Wethel's taken some equipment out to Sam, but I don't like to cost him a nail I saw Monk's team in Sledge in front of the force that I came in It sounds like he's come back to the Sledge Listen to those dogs howling Monk beats the living daylight sort of Sorry, you say King's outside. Yes, he's waiting for me. I sure hope Monk doesn't handle with him He's but enough Until I have more than they can handle it because it's King King won't like him. I have never yet seen a dog That didn't hate Monk Wethel Outside the trading post Monk Wethel's dogs were fighting among themselves Monk's heavy features were distorted with anger. He cracked his whip mercilessly in an effort to silence the team How did it take you for a mommy? Boys at the cafe said you win town. I'll come you gave up dealing cars in a family or a salmon creak How are some local sourdough's claim the games were crooked threaten to kill me unless I left town Right now.

I'll wait while you collect your gear Everything I own is in my back How far do we go? What's wrong with your dogs? I think that husky over there is in spirit up. His move is likely quiet down. He's a good looking dog He belongs to Preston the money That's Preston's dog. I've heard about King. I don't know what his name is But I'll have a tough timeline and let my team if he doesn't get out of there Grab that husky's collar and see if I can move him. He won't let you grab his collar Monk You better leave Malone. What do you mean? He won't let me grab his collar What I tell you Monk leave Malone. Growl with me will you? I'll show you his boss when I say move let me move I'll talk right away with him. One good stock of this whip and he'll be on his way. Don't try it Monk I've heard about this dog. He's trying to make. Don't get him riles Monk. Don't tell me how to handle dogs Looks the only thing they understand stand back silk. They aim to teach Preston's dog a lesson He'll never forget Yukon King's menacing growls had enraged more vessels the trapper raised his whip Intending to strike the dog but as his arm went back King stood up King's eyes flash dangerously this fangs were bared The great husky was poised for action. Come to it Monk leave Malone. I'll teach him who's boss You won't be so cocky after you said it tasted this whip. You're crazy Monk. If King doesn't get you the money will Preston's likely to jail you if you try to beat him. I look at him. That dog's ready to spring Monk Maybe you're right Come on silk now you're being smart You'd have been crazy to tangle with that dog Now look move to the other side of the door.

I looked at this evening, but the gold was gone It was planning to go back to the States next year and live with his niece You know, I'm surprised anyone would be out on the night like this from the killer's point of view tonight's perfect No, it's already covered all right Sergeant steaming hot. They should warm you up in a hurry. Oh, that's fine Sergeant Preston had trained King to accept no food from strangers King knew monk Wessel was an enemy and a killer and he realized that his master was not suspicious of monk and his friend King's training and his intense dislike for monk prompted him to take unusual action But he was determined that Sergeant Preston would accept no food from these strangers Look out Bunking bomb boy. Hey upset the tea playing me burn my hand off Looks like your teeth on the floor. I swear that dog jumped for me. King doesn't jump a man without orders for me You saw what happened. I say he tried to drop me if he tried to jump you. He did not you off your feet He had some other purpose King. What's happened to your manners?

How do you mean helping? I just came from Salmon Creek a few days ago. What about it? I saw a fellow north of here just this side of Twin Rocks who has a Parker just that color He lives in a cabin off the trail. I remember that cabin. I thought it was deserted. It isn't deserted now I stopped there overnight and it looked to me like the trapper who's living there plans to stay for quite some time Names Bill Wayne. I see Well, thanks for the information so King and I'll investigate if you don't find Bill come back here Monk and I are going to be the city with you. Oh, I know do that come on Outside King don't worry about him sergeant. Like I said dogs don't like me. Sorry about the tea. Oh forget it No one was hurt when the still mighty strong You won't be able to cover much ground in this snow sergeant. We'll throw the killer down too. Thanks for your help. Good luck. Bye. Bye sergeant What was the idea tell him that story about a trapper with a red Parker I had to think of something after the dog upset the tea that blame mutt. I'd like to take a shot at that husky forget about the dog Preston I'm worried about Once he reaches that cabin that won't take him long to figure out that we send him on a wild goose chase we could clear out fine Preston comes back and finds us gone And put two and two together and start after us with the air so about a red park and beaver city He'll find out that I have one The lucky thing for us that Parker was hanging in the wood shit We hadn't come in the back way you might have had it in here wait have seen it you wait a stop Preston as a bullet Yeah, I guess you're right. He's the only one who knows about the red parker. Sure When he's dead, we'll be in the clear But if you're Parker and a purse no shoes, I don't have a gun Monk I'm not a pistol ammunition, but I have my winchester. We use that. All right.

It was like the breath of the Arctic itself As a trapper Monk was accustomed to being outdoors and all kinds of weather But silk Baron it made his living as a dealer in gambling halls He had never been forced to endure the hardships of Yukon Storms He and Monk planned sergeant Preston's ambush silk hadn't considered the weather Now as he waited for them out he to appear He was blinded by the snow and stinging wind in spite of his heavy bare-skinned Parker silk was chilled to the bone He longed for the warmth and comfort of a stove or fireplace. Hey, what are you doing? I'll bring off some of these branches before make fire. Oh, no, you're tall Monk. I'm freezing Preston sees a fire He'll know we're here most too heavy for him to see until he gets close to it I'm doing Plain branches wouldn't burn the green. You might as well throw them away. Preston doesn't come soon. I'll freeze to death They're trouble with you as you're soft What would you do if you had to walk a trapline or winter any fool can walk a trapline? You couldn't all right? I couldn't I can't stand being up in this storm either Preston doesn't come soon. I'm going back to your place. Yep. Take it easy silk. I think I hear his dog It's no so thick. I can't see him. You'll have to wait till he gets close before you shoot. Maybe it's better that way Close range. I can't miss Traveling on snowshoes through the storm the sergeant Preston's journey seemed as endless as it had been futile Finding the cabin near Twin Rocks deserted the mountain started back from Monk Wessels place to ask questions Preston would have welcomed the opportunity to rest a few hours But he was determined to learn why silk Baron had lied about the man in the red parker The great dog King was just a few paces ahead of his master Breaking a trail through the unmarked blanket of snow The soft white flakes were falling heavily Glittering in the moonlight that soon faded to dawn King knew from the sounds and sense of the wilderness that he and the Mountie were the only living things story Let's travel faster King King obediently quickened his pace The dog moved ahead a new set filled his nostrils freshly cut pine King didn't know that the scent came from the green branches silk Baron had torn from a pine tree But he did know that he hadn't noticed the scent when they covered the trail a few hours earlier. It was slowing down boy Come on. We have a lot of work ahead of us King had shortened his strides and now the set of pine was heavy in the air the great dog decided to investigate It was then that he caught the hated set of Monk Wessels Dogs first stood up sharply in the back of his neck his animal caution warned him of danger But King didn't heed the warning he raced to a screen of falling snow toward the underbrush at the side of the trail Monk Wessels saw him come His carbine and fire But he had underestimated the dog speed the bullet clipped King's fur, but the great husky didn't Well clearly leveled the weapon but in his frenzied haste the cartridge jammed in the breach before he could release it King Finding flash King was over the underbrush that separated him from the killers and Sergeant Preston was close behind Help me Screened his panic as King's jaws close on his gun arm the dogs fangs pierced the fabric of the red Parker Monk knew that if he struggled King's strong teeth could tear through his flesh like a steel trap So fair and reach the scoop of the carbine Monk had dropped but before you get it out the town Preston fire The molly bullets struck the gamblers right here. Oh, I think you're covered both of them All right, King study boy Me oh That dog of yours sure had me scared Preston. I see my search for the red Parker's ended Monk I I can explain that I suppose you can explain firing on King and me Both of you are under arrest in the name of the crown Smash your busted it with your bullets. I'll never be able to deal with that cards again You should be more worried about your neck than your hand the two of you will hang for murder Now listen to us it was silk's idea to kill Sam He said with a clear out of the you kind of take Sam's gold with a silly double-crosser who pulled the trigger who shot back You did I didn't even have a gun Monk. I'm taking you both back to your cabin I'll put handcuffs on you and leave King on guard while I look for Sam's gold You won't have to look far under the table in the kitchen. We'll go there and pick it up Then we're going to the jail in Beaver City and if either of you makes a break We won't make any trouble yet moving just get that dog away from the question He hates me anyway. He hates all killers get moving both of you. Oh, yes boy.
