~ LIVER TWIST was born about
rs miles from London, in the
lying-in room Of the almshouse.
His mother, worn and exhausted from
long and painful journey on foot,
had been found unconscious in the
road, and had been carried to the only
place of refuge for such as she seemed
to be. His name he owed to the in
ventive genius Of the parish beadle,
who remarked: "The last one was a
's'-Swubble I named him; the next
one as comes will be Unwin, and I've
got names ready made to the end of
the alphabet, and all the way through
1t again, when we come to r."
The wronged and unhappy mother
died without revealing her name, and
the only proofs of the boys identity,
a locket and ring, kept even at the
price of starvation, were stolen from
the corpse before it was cold by the
old crone who had been in attendance.
The orphans childhood, passed in
cruel neglect and semi-starvation, was
brought to an abrupt close by his own
unparalleled act. Desperate through
hunger he and his companions deter
mined that some one Of them shall Sc
cure for all an extra helping of the
thin and watery cruel which is their
principal diet. The lot falls upon Oh
