"Or," suggested Sid, impressively, "the Knights of the White Shield." How Charlie did admire the ready wit of the president! The enthusiasm of the club increased. As in that reputed story of Maria Theresa, where her nobles are said to have surrounded her, and, waving their swords enthusiastically, pledged her their support, so the Up-the-Ladder Club waved their caps around this their young queen.
If you meet again, remember, your name is 'Up-the-Ladder Club, always to be climbing up, always to be advancing. Now you can advance in this way; you can combine the literary element." "Come-and-bine what?" asked Juggie. "The literary element." "De literal element?" "Recitations and so on, I mean."
"The boys," said Sid, proudly, "think you could rely on them to to pull an oar." He felt it might be prudent not to propose to do the whole of the rowing, and offer the town a meeting managed wholly by the "Up-the-Ladder Club," but modestly to pull an oar. "Splendid!" said the teacher, her enthusiasm charming the boys. "Among us all, I guess we can manage it."
"And then," said Miss Barry, "when Christmas comes, you can give a Christmas entertainment, and ask an admission fee, and, won't you give the money to the missions of our Church? That will be putting another round in the ladder, and the 'Up-the-Ladder Club' will go higher still. I want you to help other people all you can. I'll tell you what to do, and be with you."
"But, you see, Tim had a fuss with Charlie Macomber, and imposed on him," exclaimed Sid. "Charlie is willing, for he has said so," replied Miss Barry. "You are not going to hold on to an old grudge. Your name is 'Up-the-Ladder Club, and not down the ladder. You go down when you hold on to a grudge, boys." "We won't go down!" cried Charlie. "No, no!" said the boys.
Up-the-Ladder Club!" "I'll put it to vote, teacher," said the president, with dignity. "Those in favor of it, say 'Aye." A ringing "Aye" was now given, and after it, came a sharp-featured, wrinkled face at the door. "Land's sake, Bertha, what's the matter?" "O it's only my class, grandmother." "It scat me dreadfully.
It's a little odd, but you'll think of it every time you go up stairs and see the ladder. Call it 'Up-the-Ladder Club, and then it will have a meaning that you are boys who mean to do your best, climbing up always, up, up, up!" Miss Bertha here reached as high as she could, and her admirers, with sparkling eyes, stretched upward their small arms, also, shouting, "Up-the-Ladder Club!
The Up-the-Ladder Club did the tide the honor of making it a call in a body, and from the rear of Silas Trefethen's store watched the swollen current beyond the yard. "Let's go down to the beach and see the waves to-morrow. It's Saturday, you know, and the waves pile up tremendous in a storm. Who's for it!" inquired Sid Waters. There was not a White Shield present who was unwilling to go.
