States were called upon to supply
what what the brides friends say is
one of the largest and most carefully
selected wardrobes ever gathered by
any mistress of the White House.
The ring used in the ceremony was
made from nugget of virgin gold pre-
sented to the president two months
ago by delegation of school children
from San Francisco.
Despite the intimation from the
White House that nothing should be
sent by any others than relatives and
close friends, the President and Mrs.
Wilson were showered with gifts that
filled an entire room in the Gait home.
They were of wide variety and came
from many chimes and many peoples.

Quiet Home Wedding.
Everything was in readiness for the
ceremony when the president arrived
and it proceeded without music
Neither the president or Mrs. Gait had
any attendants and there were no ush-

represented and the occasion was es.
sentially what both of the couple had
wished it to be-a home wedding.
On the first floor of the brides
home, in two communicating rooms, a
wedding bower had been arranged
with background of farleyanse and
maidenhair ferns, which extended
from the floor to the ceiling. Over
head there was canopy of green in
the form of shell lined with Scotch
heather. In the background and at
the center was placed large mirror
framed with orchids and rejecting the
scene Above the mirror was a spray
of orchids across a background of
ferns and the corners of the canopy
were caught with orchids. American
beauty roses were on both sides of
the canopy, beneath which was a
prayer rug on which President Wilson
and Mrs. Gait knelt during the cere-
mony.
Just at the hour for the ceremony
the president and his bride appeared
at the head of the staircase, which
was decorated with ferns, asparagus
vines and American beauty roses.

MEANING OF "H0RSE POWER"
Simple Manner by Which the Now Fa-
mIIiar Term Was First Brought
Into Use.

The use OF the horsepower as a
measure of an engines work came
naturally from the fact that the first
engines were built to do work which
had formerly been performed by
horses. John Smeaton, who built at
mospheric engines before Bolton and
Watt placed their more complete ma
chine on the market, had valued the
work done by strong horse as equal
to lifting weight of $4,000 pounds
one foot high minute. When Bolton
and Watt began to bid for public IA
vor, they agreed to place their en-
gines for "the value of one-third part
of the Goals which are saved In its
use." They also increased the value
of the horsepower to $4,000 foot
pounds, so that their engines were
half again as powerful for their rated
power as those of their competitors.
In this way they established the value
of the horsepower. The following are
the various values of horsepower:
Thirty-three thousand foot-pounds a
minute. $50 foot-pounds second, o.
b65 thermal units an hour, ATS Their
NAL units minute. The horsepower
of boiler depends on it's capacity for
evaporation. The evaporation of 80
pounds of water from 100 degrees
Fahrenheit into steam at seven pounds
gauge pressure equals 34h pounds.
and at 2l2 degrees Fahrenheit is equiv.
alent to horsepower.

communicate, wis waiting beneath the
canopy TO perform the ceremony, ana
with him, to assist, was the presidents
pastor the Rev. James Il. Taylor OF
the Central Presbyterian church.
Mrs. William II. Boiling, the brides
mother, gave her away. The president
stood to the right of the clergymen
and the bride stood on their lett. AT

prayer, and while the couple clasped
their right hands together, DR.. smith
declared them man and wife.
The entire party then turned to the
dining room, where buffet supper
was served. The decorations there
were in pink and on the buffets were
banked growing ferns and pink roses.
The tables were decorated with Lady
Stanley rose blossoms. On a table in

During the ceremony and at the
luncheon afterward, during which

her travelling dress, a black silk vel
vet gown, with picture hat of black
beaver with no trimmings whatever
except one feather slightly upturned
on the left side. At her throat she
wore the presidents wedding gift,

The skirt of her gown was of walk

cry completely eclipsed every other
consideration. The thought OF possible
escape, of any means OF defense. never
occurred to me. All my memory re-
tanned was that last glimpse OF her
slender figure at the window and the
silhouette OF her averted face. What
ment of her first surprise she had
sprung TO my defense, but as soon as
she could consider the conditions, her
whole nature would turn against me-
even now the feeling of disgust had
come. She had turned coldly away,
hating the very sight of me staring
out of the window until | should dis

and tramped on down the stairs to
the gruff order of the sergeant.
There were three other prisoners,
sallow-faced, roughly dressed noun
taineers, one wounded In the arm, but
was kept separated from them with
special guard. Within ten minutes
the entire command was In saddle and
moving slowly northward. The lieu
tenant rode In my rear for the first
mile, watchful and suspicious. Noreen
was riding In advance of the column
between the two captains. A gray.
circular cape concealed her slender
form, but could observe the frequent
turning of her head as she appar-
emily conversed vivaciously with her
attentive escorts. Her show of utter,
heartless Indifference hurt and blinded
me. | actually believed the girl was
glad of my capture; that she rejoiced
at the knowledge that within few
hours she would be freed from all
the consequences of our rash act. 1t
was the reaction which had given her
such high spirits. the exhilarating
sense of escape, relief SO profound
as to cause her to even forget her
fathers death.
At first the thought served to numb
my faculties, and | rode forward with
lowered head, all interest in life dead
within me. Then pride came to the
rescue, and | Strengthened up in the

humiliation. No one would ever know

she could not deny, and she must real
ize why I had kept silent, why | had
even gone down to death with closed
lips.
And then-there was yet a chance!
While there was life there was hope,
and | was soldier enough, and suffi-
GENTLY reckless, to accept of any OPP
portunity. There might occur a relax
alton in the vigilance of the guard,
some delay at Lewisburg, possibly a
forwarding of me to headquarters at
Charleston-some sudden, unexpected
opening through which could
squeeze.
Through the mud we rode steadily
on, following the pike that curved
along the base of the mountains, and
