His Sure Thing.

“Beatty got a ‘tip’ on the stock market last week, and came off with a nice little wad of money. You see he has a friend in a broker’s office who put him next. It was a sure thing, they told Beatty, and he risked $300.” “Well that’s the first case on record where anybody ever won on a sure thing, isn’t it?” “I guess so. Beatty wouldn’t have won either, only he sold short instead of buying as they told him to.”
