Le sacrifice (1908)

A young beggar girl and her aged mother are tramping along the road when a motor car passing swiftly by knocks down the older woman just in front of the gates of a fine castle. The poor beggar girl, at the sight of her dead mother, calls for help, and her cries of despair are heard by the residents of the castle, who, being kind-hearted people, take the young girl away from the body of her dead mother, although the poor orphan fights desperately to remain besides what was once all the world to her.
