Loustaunau, 61 Tex. 233 , 238, in an opinion by Mr. Justice Stayton, from which we quote as follows: `A mortgage "is a security for a debt, while a conditional sale is a purchase for a price paid, or to be paid, to become absolute on a particular event, or a purchase accompanied by an agreement to resell upon particular terms.”
