 title and right to the possession which would be essential if the suit were in replevin." We confess to a total inability to dis- cover any force or merit in the appellant's objection. A breach of the conditions of the mortgage is alleged and shown, and by the express terms of the instrument the mortgagees are "hereby authorized, either by themselves or agent, to enter upon the premises where the said property may be, and remove and sell the same." This provision gave the mortgagees the right upon a breach to "remove and sell." The words employed plainly import that the mortgagees may take possession, and we think they are incompatible with any other fair construction. Having the right to the possession upon a breach of the conditions of the mortgage, and a breach 'having occurred, the plaintiffs were in a position to maintain an action for the value of the property as against the defendant, who had unlawfully taken and con- verted it to their own use. The judgment will be affirmed. All concur.

At the trial no demand was shown, and the only evidence of conversion was the sale, delivery, and payment, as above stated. At the close of the testimony the elevator company requested the trial court to direct a verdict in its favor, upon the ground
