der his policy. and demanded that the
money he had paid TO the defendant
should be returned to him.
The court held that Horn was not en-
titled to have the money paid as pre-
MUM returned to him. While the policy
was in force so long as he paid tho
premium he received the benefit under
his contract with the insurance com
pany. II the money paid IN was return
