1Opinion of the CourtHooker, J.
The complainant’s bill alleges that:
1. The complainant issued a life policy of $2,000 on the life of John J. Dick, payable to the defendant, wherein it was stipulated that, if any installment should not be paid when due, the policy should be void, except as to its paid-up value. The company was accustomed to accept past-due installments, and to reinstate the policy, provided the insured would furnish a proper certificate of good health; said certificate stating further that the insured agrees that the payment is received and policy reinstated on condition of the truth of such certificate.
