E., 431.\nIt must be conceded, we think, that there is doubt as to the meaning of the language used in the policy. Under the rule, however, as stated and applied in Jolly v. Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Company, 199 N. C., 269, 154 S. E., 400, the policy must be construed against the defendant, and in favor of the plaintiff.
