 Philadelphia won the convention auction with Q certified check for S2O0, 0,0OO plus Si,500 in cash prizes to delegates and the free use of the municipal auditorium. The demo- crats meet June 23. The republican national convention meets in Cleve- land, June Q.
 Eastern Democrats Gain
 Farm belt New Dealers who had expected to profit by having the convention excitement close to home town voters must look now to some other political stimulant, if any is needed. Eastern democrats. espe- cially the reborn democracy oi Pennsylvania, have gained an unex- pected advantage.
 Decision to re-nominate President Roosevelt and Vice President Gar. ner on the Atlantic seaboard upset plans of Chairman James A. Farley to put on the quadrennial demo- cratic political carnival in the farm country. First obstacles to his plafii developed . month ago when Kan sas City refused to be enthusiastic. ally eager to become host to tho democrats.

THE STORY so FAR

IN grim, strongly fortified castle on the
Austro-German frontier, Grundt alias
] Clubfoot. head of notorious gang of inter
national spies, held the beautiful and wealthy
Patricia Fame of New York prisoner.
Grundt demanded half a million dollars
ransom for her brother Jimmy Fame. who had
fallen into Grundts hands while on a secret
diplomatic mission in Hamburg
Meanwhile, Robert Dallas. MAJOR Ned Har
hgan and Wolf ron Konig, three men engaged
by Patricia Fame to rescue her brother had
traced young Fame to secluded villa near
Salzburg On reaching the villa, the three
men found only the dead bodies of two of
Grundt's agents. Bdrtets and Arlette LaSsagne.

supposed Fame owed his downfall Fame had
vanished - carried off, SO the caretaker said,
by an ape-like man with clubfoot Grundt.

hold!
While exploring the outside of the massive
wall surrounding the castle, Hartigan was
shot at and Wolf was mortally wounded.
Dallas, meanwhile believing Hartlgan to be
dead, disappeared around corner of the wall
and sought desperately to enter the grounds
of this castle, where he knew Patricia and
Jimmy Fame we're held prisoners.
Within the castle Grundt was again threat

But Patricia refused to reveal the code

Grundt threatened her with the terrible fate
he had dealt out to Arlette Lassagne. Thrust
