Somebody else probably has a more consice method but you could try
something like this

var mystring = "One Two Three"; //replace with your string
var stringarray = mystring.split(" ");
var firstword = mystring.split(" ")[0];
myarray = jQuery.grep(stringarray, function(n, i){
      return (i > 0);
});
$("div#title a").append("<strong>" + firstword + "</strong>
").append(myarray.join(" "));
