She said she didn't know what would "become of a little gal, that was so keerless," and decreed that she must stay at home from school and work on candle-wicks till Mrs. Dorcas' loss was made good to her.

Trapp, who, after a fleeting glance at me, caught her husband by the collar. "And you actilly went in that state, you nasty keerless hulks! O, you heart-breaker!" Mr. Trapp in custody managed to send me a sidelong, humorous grin. "My dear, I thought 'twould be a surprise for you business taking me that way, and the magistrates being used to worse." "You heart-breaker!" repeated Mrs. Trapp.
"Got ter make time ef yer wanter make money. Did n't Tom tell yer I 'd be heah in twenty minutes?" "No," she said; "I seen him goin' pas'; he did n' say nothin'." "I dunno w'at 's de matter wid dat boy," mused the blacksmith over his apple dumpling. "He 's gittin' mighty keerless heah lately; mus' hab sump'n' on 'is min', some gal, I reckon."
"Oh no, uncle," said Archie, quickly. "I promised Frank and Johnny that, if I succeeded in getting away, I wouldn't sleep until they were safe among friends. I want to go with you."

I heard suthin' like a little cough oncet in a while, and at times suthin' like a little moan. I didn't durst to sing out for I knew SHE wouldn't like it, but whistled keerless like, to let the chillern know I was there.

"Dad's pleased that settles it," said Dan, delightedly, dragging Harvey into the cabin, while Troop pitched a key down the steps. "Dad keeps my spare rig where he kin overhaul it, 'cause Ma sez I'm keerless."
Frank's reputation was by this time firmly established, and he was the lion of the settlement. Dick Lewis was prouder than ever of him. Of course, he called him a "keerless feller," and read him several long lectures, illustrating them by incidents drawn from his own experience.
I was jest statin' the other side of the proposition, tellin' what would happen to keerless people, but Colonel Newcomb an' Major Hertford ain't keerless people. Good-bye, Mr. Mason. Mebbe I'll see you ag'in before this war is over." "Good-bye, Red Blaze. I truly hope so." The train was moving now and with a last powerful grasp of a friendly hand Dick went into the coach.
Dey said 'Hoddy, en Mars Dugal' ax 'im ter hab a seegyar; en atter dey run on awhile 'bout de craps en de weather, Mars Dugal' ax 'im, sorter keerless, like ez ef he des thought of it, "'How you like de nigger I sole you las' spring?

"Pooh! pooh!" said Spotsy, "don't bother me," and he shuv'd my umbrella onto the floor. Obsravin' to him not to be so keerless with that wepin, I accompanid the African to my lodgins. "My brother," I sed, "air you aware that you've bin mancipated? Do you realize how glorus it is to be free?
