Where a note payable on demand had been indorsed, it must be presented for payment within a reasonable time of the indorsement. If it be not so presented, the indorser is discharged.

(2)

In determining what is a reasonable time, regard shall be had to the nature of the instrument, the usage of trade, and the facts of the particular case.
