Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $86$

Digits and Cubes
Find all $5$-digit squares such that:
the number formed from the first $2$ digits added to that formed by the last $2$ digits form a cube.


For example, $141^2 = 19 \, 881$, where $19 + 81 = 100$.
But $100$ is a square not a cube.
How many are there altogether?
